Jenevieve is a fantastic and reliable person. She took care of our fur babies perfectly. She followed our instructions and schedule, and our boys warmed to her quickly. I hope we can re-book with her soon.

What a wonderful service! The communications are great during the visits with your pet and with you while setting up the visits as well. Couldn’t ask for a better service experience! Would highly recommend to anyone needing a person to come visit your pet while you are gone.

It seemed scary having someone we don’t know come into our home to take care of our kitty, but Lisa put those worries to rest! She was very sweet and gentle with our little Dexter who is always wary of new people. He grew a liking to her almost immediately and animals usually know when someone is kind and trustworthy. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. We will definitely be asking her to look after him again. 😺

What can I say about tori but wow… she did such an amazing job with our cats and spent tons of extra time with them. Sent us tons of updates and pictures. Truthfully, if you need someone to watch a pet or stop by, someone who truly has a kinship with animals, tori is the one to go with. Furthermore, she’s a good person and we felt secure with her entering and leaving our house. We will exclusively use her from now on and you should too. We don’t just give good reviews, they must be earned… and she did that. Aces all the way…

Kassy did a great job with my Labrador. My furry friend has a fenced yard and is rarely on a leash. Kassy took the time to get her used to her harness before walking her.

Brad did such a wonderful job helping my husband and I while one of our dogs was sick. He gave her medicine, extra attention, and was able to visit her a few extra times. When it was time for us to say goodbye to her, Brad was also very supportive and caring towards us.

Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.

Very knowledgeable, engaged, timely, and kept me up to speed after each visit with notes and lots of photos. Javon made house visits to care for my attention-loving, high energy goof dog and aloof old-man cat. The boys are happy, which is a night and day difference from the times we chose to do conventional boarding.

About: I have an almost 7 year old black German Shepherd that's about 70 lbs. She is good with other dogs and people. I have a flexible full time job Monday through Friday 8-4. I enjoy going on walks and spending time with animals. I have had different dogs all of my life, so all are loved here! Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends! I work a full time day job typically 8-4. However, my day job is very flexible and can work around various scheduling changes, if needed. I work from home 3 days a week, as well. I do not have a crate at home but will gladly crate your dog at night or when I’m away, if that’s their normal routine and you provide one. My yard is not fully fenced but I do have access to the city dog parks, as long as they are up to date on vaccinations.
