Teri was so great with Finn. We appreciate her caring ways. We know he was in great hands. And she helped us last minute, which we really appreciate.

Having just recently moved to the area, I was very nervous about leaving my two Australian Cattle dogs, but then we found Henry. Henry came out to do a meet and greet session with myself and the puppies. We spoke at length about their daily routine, ways to motivate/engage with them and he was great with them! He helped to put my mind at ease, helped to accommodate my delayed flight, and as a result, he has a dedicated customer. If you’re looking for a wonderful caregiver, Henry is your guy.

I highly recommend Regina from personal experience. When you leave your fur-babies with someone it can be so nerve-wracking but I feel so comfortable, and so do my fur-babies when left with her. Regina is truly an animal lover- the pampered care of your pet is simply one thing you won’t have to worry about when you’re away!

I have been a client of Fama for 6 years now! I’ve been around since she was a rookie. I knew her passion for animals because I volunteered with her at a shelter so I decided to give her a shot and it has been one of the best decisions for my two dogs. I am a travel nurse now! I actually met her while I was doing my mandatory volunteer work for nursing school at the shelter. I am very picky with who I trust with my babies and I never have to worry one bit with her. Depending on how long I’m gone she either stops drops in and walks them three times a day or she keeps them at her apartment to make things easier. Something I love her about her is she always goes all out. She always has these multivitamin treats for them which I think is just awesome and so cute. She also likes to make sure they get a change of scenery every once in a while so she’ll take them to the dog park or a local trail and they absolutely love it! They are still young so they love the exercise and adventure. One of my babies actually just got sick not too long ago. And she had to be on medicine. I could not get her to take it for the life of me. So I actually ended up paying her just to give my dog her meds because she’s really good at it! She’s just absolutely amazing and a godsend.

Tavia was a wonderful cat sitter, going above and beyond to make sure my cats are taken care of. She trims their nails, brushes them, and even helps give them medication. She takes care of them like they are her own cats.

Victoria was great with all 3 of my dogs. It tends to be a circus wrangling all 3, but she did an awesome job. Victoria is attentive to detail and great at communicating. We will definitely be booking with her again!

About: I have some vet school experience. I have taken care of new born puppies up to senior dogs. I have volunteered in animal shelters for years. I have two animals, 1 cat and 1 dog. Both are rescues and very loving and friendly with other animals. I will slowly interduce your animals to mine if you choice to have me sit them. I walk my dog. Let him outside while watching him on the lead (he likes to lay in the sun). The cat has his litter box and tons of toys (as does the dog). They are both very spoiled.

I want to give Rachel a special thanks for doing an awesome job taking care of my two dogs. She kept us informed with everything and we were able to enjoy our vacations without any worry. She followed our instructions and took pictures of the dogs while with them. We know our dogs were in good hands. Thanks again!
