“Olivia was wonderful with our dogs. She really goes over and beyond what you ask her for your pet care. There was never a moment that I was concerned our two dogs were getting love, care and attention. She keeps you updated with messages and pictures for each visit. I would highly recommend Olivia! And we will be reaching out to her again to take care of Eden and Nailee.”
“Kellen was great with my 2 pups! One is young and can be an energetic handful, and he had no problems with him. Also helped me out with a last minute traveling work need, very much appreciated!”
“Sadie was so wonderful and it's clear she really cares about animals! She was attentive and playful and I felt very reassured having her watch my little kitty while I was away.”
“Brandy was great! She regularly sent updates and sent pictures! She was flexible with scheduling, and even with last minute changes (we stayed away longer and added more visits, and she was totally accommodating). 100% recommend!”
“Brooke was wonderful. She took the time prior to the check-in date to meet me and my dog. I could tell he instantly felt very comfortable and relaxed around Brooke who has a very pleasant and friendly demeanor. On the day of the check-in she arrived on time, did all I asked her to do and sent a nice report card with pictures. It was comforting knowing that my puppy was in good hands. I highly recommend Brooke.”
“We have a rescue dog who doesn’t warm up to many people, and I could tell from the pictures she uploaded that my dog loves her. 100% recommend and would book Kayla again!”
“We are so happy to find Emily to watch our pups! She is dependable and kind. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a puppy sitter.”
“Tina was fantastic! She was very communicative and really eased this anxious cat parent’s mind, and my persnickety older cat adored her! Plus, she took and sent me the absolute cutest pictures! I would recommend Tina to anybody and will absolutely have her watch my boy again!”
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.
“Teresa was great! She came right when she said she would and followed our directions. Our cats were comfortable with her and were well taken care of.”
“Kasey has been great, I’ve had her couple over a couple times now to take care of my Frenchie, Ash, while I’m at work. She’s very sweet and plays with Ash outside and even gets his little pool out for him on hot days. I will definitely be hiring her again. Thanks Kasey!”
“Chris was great! He communicated with me after each drop-in, and my cat loved his visits.”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life with experience from Toy Poodles to Newfoundland’s. I have been entrusted to care for dogs for several different families over the last 15 plus years. I currently have a Dalmatian whom I trained through obedience and beginning stages of show rings. I work a full time day job, Monday through Friday with week night availabilities. I can do overnights, but work in an office so please be aware that I would be out of the home during my work day. Weekend availability is more wide open to allow me to let your dog out during the day. I currently only offer caring for pets in the clients home. I base my care off of the clients instructions, I have experience administering pills/medication as needed.

“Heather is wonderful! She dropped in to take care of my two cats last weekend. She is caring, loving, attentive, and respectful with my cats and home. She ensured my cats had everything they needed. Heather communicated well with me with fun pics, videos and notes. I look forward to having Heather pet sit again soon!”
“Tracy was great with our pets, even the persnickety one who might have tried to eat her, haha. And she kept in touch with us well too. Always nice when we're away to see our pets, who are an important part of our family, are happy. Thank you Tracy! We will surely call on you again.”

You can tell she really cares about dogs and treats them like she does her own. We'll definitely book her if we need someone to take care of Chomper in the future!”
