“Linda really put me at ease and was great with my dogs too. We had a great meet and greet and my dogs warmed right up to her. Even my standoffish dog was more at ease around Lina than she is with most people coming to the house. Linda really knows her way around dogs and having someone you can trust with your furbabies is a lifesaver!”
“We are so happy with Rebecca! She took great care of Willow and she was happy when we arrived home. It was my first time leaving Willow since we welcomed her to our family but after meeting Rebecca my mind was at ease. You can instantly see the love she has for all fur babies!! Highly recommend and we will definitely be seeing her again!!!😊”
“Melanie was fantastic taking care of my cat, Jimmy. I went out of state for Christmas and had her come twice a day for a week to feed him and clean his litter box. She sent me pics, videos and notes the whole time which was comforting since I had never left him for more than 2 days before this trip. She even took my trash and cleaned out the sink of his bowls. I can definitely recommend Melanie!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child, I have always had a dog of my own as well as cared for cats and hamsters. I grew up with a mother that ran an animal sanctuary so I have seen and cared for them all! I love to stay active and would love to add a fur friend to that activity either on a walk or run! I work full time however I am home daily after 330pm and on weekends. I am available to have your fur baby stay in my home with a potty break mid day and lots of love after work or for a drop in and walk at your home. I have 2 dogs of my own, one is 5 years old and the other is 1 year old. Both boys are very friendly and love having other dogs to play with. I keep a gate on hand to separate them from our guest if need be because sometimes they just can’t stop playing and our guest need a break to relax.
“Karen was wonderful-great communication and flexibility for drop in visits. My dogs were well cared for, exercised and given needed medication. I was so grateful to find Karen to help with my dogs during my busy week. I highly recommend Karen and will be using her in the future!”
“Jenna was a life saver. We have two sweet 14 year old Australian shepherds who are a little wobbly and don’t see as well as they used to. I was afraid to leave them but Jenna was amazing!!

I’ll definitely use her again and pass her info along to friends.”
