I enjoy incorporating pet care into my daily life, as it brings me joy in fulfillment while helping me stay active and connected with the dogs When pets stay with me, I create a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have a designated sleeping area, access to toys, and plenty of space to play. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, making sure they feel secure and loved.

About: I love to be outside and play just as much as your dog does! I always make sure the pup is having the best time :) I am currently working part-time, which allows for more than enough time to be spent with your doggo! At times when I am at work, my significant other works from home and would be available for your dogs’ needs! I have a Golden Retriever of my own, he is 5 years old and his name is Reggie. I also have a kitten, Hank, he is approximately 9 months old. Both of them are so sweet, energetic and playful. They have the luxury of a fenced-in backyard and would love to make friends and play with your puppy (yes the kitty goes outside too)! We go on many walks, play fetch, spend a lot of time in the backyard and go on many adventures!

Somebody said to push a blue button and I tried that and it didn’t work so maybe I’ll just mail her a check or I’ll drive her over a check Kyra I will get you a check somehow. After I leave this, I’ll try to find another button to push. We’ll figure this out. You did a great job, dear.”

About: I have been watching my own families pets since I was a little girl, along with the neighbors and others in the community. I can walk, feed, or bathe them. I have one short haired female cat in my home who is very chatty and loves attention! I am a flight attendant so I have lots of open time. Whether it be early morning, late night, or mid day! I can go on a walk, let them out, or just hangout and play! If I care for your pet in my home they will be treated as if it’s their own! If they get along with cats, all are welcome.

She is an amazing pet sitter. She made me feel comfortable leaving my precious Molly with her for her first time boarding at 11 years old. She treated her like she was family. She gave me daily updates with pictures so I could see how comfortable she was while I was traveling. It really ment alot to me to see how well she was being cared for. I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of worrying how my furbaby was doing well I was gone.

Marrissa was fantastic for a last minute booking this past weekend. It is clear that both her and her partner care about making your pet feel as comfortable as possible while being away from home. She was quick to communicate with us throughout the weekend with updates and pictures. I especially appreciated that she told us she would be slowly introducing our dog to theirs to make sure she was comfortable. We will 100% be rebooking with her the next time we go out of town!

Mariah is great! She was able to take in our boy with a very last minute request. In my haste and stressful moment, I forgot to bring my boy’s food and toys, luckily Mariah was able to accommodate with it all and provided the right meals for him. Her own dog, Reggie, quickly became Mochi’s best friend. She sent pictures throughout the day. We will continue to ask for Mariah’s help with boarding Mochi whenever we need someone we can trust.

This was the first time I had to use Rover. Dale sent daily messages and photos which helped ease my anxiety about leaving my "baby". He was also flexible with drop-off/pick-up timing as my flight home was delayed. I definitely recommend Dale. You can tell he loves animals.

Luna had a fantastic 2 night stay with Jacy! Jacy communicated the whole weekend with pictures and updates since we have an anxious Aussie. The first night she was understandably nervous and not eating much but Jacy kept offering her food and treats. By the second day she started eating and was seeming much more calm about her stay. She was excited to go home but was happy and tired! We'll continue to use Jacy for all of Luna's pet stays in the future! Thank you Jacy for taking great care of our girl!

We had a dog sitter lined up for a long trip that fell through a month beforehand. We're so happy we found Renee! We have two dogs with different quirks and were nervous about leaving them with a new sitter for a longer trip, but after meeting Renee she put us and our pups at ease! They were instantly comfortable around her. She provided lots of updates and it looks like our pups had a blast. Would not hesitate to book with Renee again or recommend!
