Shelby was wonderful. You can tell how much she loves doing this. I’m sure if our dogs could speak they would ask to see Shelby everyday. We would love have Shelby care for our pets again. Highly recommended.

Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.

I am so grateful and appreciative to Kellen for taking care of my cat Cedar over the winter holidays. He instantly bonded with Cedar and helped put my mind at ease while I was gone. He was always thoroughly communicating with me throughout the visits and updating/adapting along the way like when she had tummy problems and we had to adjust her diet. He was accommodating and understanding to her needs as a deaf cat and really made sure she was well-taken care of.

Becky was wonderful with our 4-month-old puppy, Theo! She made me feel completely assured that he was in good hands from start to finish. She took him outside for potty breaks, played with him, and made sure he was tired out and comfortable before putting him back in his crate. Her communication was excellent, and we loved all the photos she sent during the visit. Thank you again, Becky — we truly appreciate your care!

This was our second time booking with Kristen, and once again, she was amazing! She stepped in last minute, just a day before, and gave our dogs the same love and care as always. It’s such a relief knowing we can count on her, even on short notice. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. We’re so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

We are so grateful for Sadie allowing us to have a FULL day out without a worry about our buddy Dobby. She was even kind enough to come back later in the day when our plans ran longer. He was so well cared for and I am so thankful for Sadie’s attentiveness, promptness, and for snuggling our fur baby. Highly recommend Sadie to help with your furry children!!!!!

About: Hello! My name is Lisandra and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since my teenage years I have been taking care of dogs as I grew up in a household with a Shih Tzu and Chihuahua. Once I moved on my own I decided to continue that care by becoming a dog mom myself. Over the last 15 years I have been a dog mom to 2 wonderful dogs! At the moment, I have my Boston Terrier lover boy Scooby who is a spoiled happy boy. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated as if they were my own. I can provide regular updates on your pet’s while also ensuring they get the love, care, play, exercise, and the cuddles they need! I’m currently working from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week and can provide doggy day care from 8am-6pm on those 7 days. To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, regular exercise with a 15 min daily walk 2 times a day (once in the afternoon and once in the evening), access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, plenty of attention and play time as well as a in home play mate! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior.

About: I’ve helped take care of pets since I was 14 with help from my sister who used to walk dogs and look after animals. I now follow in her foot steps. I am currently working part time at night, which means during the day I am fully available to look after and play with your pup. I follow client instructions, provide feeding, exercise, medication, companionship, home safety checks, updates, and ensure pets remain comfortable, secure, and stress-free. As well attending to the pets personality needs.

Maureen took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. Our cats are not always the most welcoming of new people and they both took well to her. She played with them and followed all the instructions provided. When we got home, we could tell they were well loved and cared for. She also provided photos everyday which we appreciated greatly!

My cats love Tina! When we finally got home from our trip they looked at us and we could almost hear them thinking, “Your not Tina! We want Tina!!” She gives them lots of love and they always look forward to her visit. She is super flexible and didn’t mind us changing our schedule at the last minute.

So happy!! I cannot thank Stephanie enough! I had an emergency and really needed someone to check in on my sweet boy, and Stephanie answered so quickly, made herself flexible to accommodate my situation, and went above and beyond to care for Jack, even cleaning areas of potential hazards so he couldn't get into anything. This is the type of peace of mind you want when you're away and can't get to your pet as needed. Will definitely be using her services again!
