“Sabrina was wonderful! We had to make a very last minute request to feed our kitties and Sabrina came to the rescue. Our senior kitty is very shy and often won't come out or even eat for people she's not familiar with, but she did for Sabrina! We were also provided with numerous photos, updates, and a very detailed write up of the visit. We will certainly be reaching out when we need services in the future!”
“Chelsea was wonderful! She was so patient with our hardheaded shepherd mix and really won both our dogs over. Will absolutely request her assistance again and highly recommend her.”
“Kelly was amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter in the area. She was professional, reliable and really sweet with our older dog Scooter. We had complete peace of mind during our vacation knowing that Scooter was in good hands. We're already planning on using her during our next trip!”
“Lacey was wonderful at the meet and greet we set up. The dogs liked her and when she came to let them out and play with them she spent 30-45 min . She made sure they peed before she left and had plenty of water. I will be using her frequently when we have to be out for more than 3-4 hrs. She is very careful to make sure the dogs are well cared for while she is here. Communication is excellent.”
About: I got my first pet when I was 7 and have had a mix of dogs and cats in my life since then. Have cared for pets of family members and friends for many years and enjoy spending time with puppies and kittens to seniors. I believe that mental and physical stimulation is important for all, and will treat your pet as it is my own. I am newly retired and have full availability to care for your pet at your home.This includes everything from walks to play time to overnight stays. Upon arrival to your home, which is where I will be caring for your pet, I will take the time for them to become familiar with me and then i will follow all specific instructions for their care. I can also give you updates if you would like.
“Rebecca was wonderful with our pups, we recently moved to the area, and were not sure about using the service in a new neighborhood. When she stopped by to meet us and our pups you could tell she was a dog person, asking all the right questions and making our mini poodle and havanese feel like they've known her forever. We would 100% recommend her and use her again. She watched them for the weekend and stopped in 4 times a day. They were happy to stay in their own space! Rebecca was only a short distance from our area. I would recommend her to you also. She even had our pets do a PAW PRINT Merry Christmas card to us, so sweet!”

They enjoy walks outside in their cat stroller and constant attention and play.
