Very much appreciate Amber's TLC with the little ones and will definitely hope to re-book in the future if we need to. Thanks, Amber!”
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
“Bayli far outdid herself taking care of my furbabies. They got a little rambunctious while their humans were away and created a bit of a mess, with knocking items over and what not. Bayli cleaned up the mess and vacuumed up their sheddings(long hair cats). Not only would I highly recommend her, I will always use her to take care of my littles in the furture!!”

About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.
