Our babies love staying with Amy. She takes great care of them. Mostly I enjoy the pictures during their stay! They're always happy when getting there and somewhat sad when leaving. I highly recommend Amy!!!! Buddy and Daisy can't wait to come back again to play and be spoiled.

We used Cyndi over spring break for our Maddie girl and she was the absolute best dog sitter we’ve ever had! We knew Maddie was in good hands with Cyndi taking care of her for that whole week with her daily pictures and sending text updates to let us know how everything was going. We were so blessed to have found her to take care of our fur baby and will for sure ask her again!!

We contacted Kelsi at the last minute to ask if she could watch our dog and she responded immediately with a yes. She asked if there was anything our dog could not have which was very thoughtful. As soon as we got to her house, our dog immediately loved her and started playing with her dog. She sent us pics to show us how much fun she was having. Our dog played so hard, she was exhausted when we picked her up the next day. She has slept all day which means she had a fun time. Definitely will be using again.

Jessica was our Christmas miracle!!! She was so kind and flexible when our plans were changing. She sent updates everyday with multiple pics without me having to ask first. She was always quick to respond and took great care of Ranjha (she had already read up on his history before we had our meet and greet so she could ask all the right questions!) We will definitely be booking with her again :)

Well, I just want to say they did wonderful with 2 dogs that have never had sitters before. They were so happy when I picked them up I knew they did a wonderful job. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is truly I'll, and they handled it wonderfully. Thanks guys. DOG has a vet appointment tomorrow and hopefully we have better enzyme results today. If not, I know they had great care. Thank you so much!

About: I prioritize safety on walks and am always alert to surroundings, other dogs and weather conditions. Great with anxious dogs. Flexible schedules for last minute bookings Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I'm home most of the day. I am able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Safety is a core part of my daily routine. When caring for pets. I make sure doors gate and leashes are always secure and I stay aware of my surroundings during walks to avoid any potential hazards. Save

Susan and Josh were wonderful with our Lab, Abby! They were very responsive throughout the booking process and during Abby’s stay with their family. We received many photos and they quickly answered messages. They have a secure yard, a clean home and cared very well for Abby. I will definitely book with them in the future.

Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!

About: Working with my mom and brother since 10 I am now setting out on my own, we have made sure every pet in and throughout has gotten their proper care and I will continue to today. I am a vet ACE center student at Hermitage High School and a senior in high school at Freeman so be assured I am taking the time to learn about your fur baby and will do my best to succeed in their best liking. Currently I take care of pets at home through my mom but I am going on my own and at my ACE center, as I have at past jobs of mine. So after school and on the weekends is best for me. If you write out your schedule, what time for feedings, walks, when bedtimes are, and preferences, I will do it to the best of my ability while also updating suggestions and places to get supplies. You will get updated with pictures and other chores you would like done at your will.

Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!
