“Melissa was wonderful with our husky. She sent daily updates and photos. While we were away it felt like our husky was on vacation in her home. She did an awesome job! Highly recommend.”
“Gabby had the best time for her stay away from me. She received excellent care with Angi. I received pictures of Gabby every day and Angi filled me in how she was doing. Angi said she was a very good girl. Thank you Angi. Jeannie”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She watched our puppy over a long weekend and provided lots of updates, photos and videos! She also offered a meet and greet prior to watching her, which was very appreciated:) We will definitely book with her again next time our pup needs a sitter!”
“We had an awesome experience! Lots of pictures and even a couple videos; all helping us relax when we were away from our dog. We could see that he was happy, playing in her yard, relaxing, and snuggling with her or her kids. This is such a nice alternative to using a kennel facility due to the personal touches and allowing your dog to have some of their own comforts from home. 100% would do it again and go back to Krysten!!”
“Great communication! She sent us lots of great pictures! I can tell our Frenchie was very well-loved while we were away! We will definitely book with Jayne again in the future! Would highly recommend!”
“Tracy was great to work with, very compassionate about her duty as a sitter and made Hank feel loved and appreciated!! I also appreciated that she was understanding about me being late for pickup as I am just getting settled into a new environment. I hope and look forward to using her again in the future!! Her darling Stella who is as well a Yorkie was just a cute girl. We loved Tracy!”
“Elizabeth treated our two dogs like they were her own! I appreciate her taking care of them while we were away! They had tons of room to run around and wear out some much needed energy! She updated me often and made sure the boys were well taken care of! We would definitely have them stay again!”
“They are wonderful! They were so communicative and flexible. We have no doubts that our dog was loved on and well taken care of! We will happily go to them again!!”
“Jamie did the best job watching Mushka! I felt very at ease leaving our dog with her from our initial meeting. Her home, personality, family, and dogs were all green lights from the start! And Mushka came home after our trip relaxed and tired. Thank you Jamie and family for keeping our dog safe and happy while we were away! Made us feel anxiety free!”
“Ashley and her family took such awesome care of my two dogs and my kitty! I was sure they weren't going to want to leave. You couldn't ask for anyone better than this family to take your pets in to their home. Thank you so much!”
“Paige was so friendly! She was an amazing communicator and sent us constant updates on how our ‘baby’ was doing. You can tell our dog was really loved on! I would definitely rebook with Paige!”
About: I have my own fur babies of 5 cats and one 16 year old dog. House is a little chaotic but loving and caring. Each animal has their own needs and I provide them with everything in the world and more. Anything that will work around my college schedule will be most beneficial. Part time jobs can be hard in this economy especially with 18 credit hours this semester. Being able to cuddle and hangout with animals while I can maintain school work sounds like a blast. Your pets are not just pets but they are your babies. I will take care of them like I take care of my own fur babies. They will become one of my fur babies while I take care of them. My pets get their medicine on time, fed on time, and always have water available. Litter boxes get cleaned regularly to keep up with odors.
“Zach has watched our highly anxious dog twice now and he has done such a great job both times!! We can enjoy our vacations knowing our dog is in such great hands with Zach!”
“Highly recommended Anna. I can go on vacations stress free knowing my dog is being cared for by her. I drop off my dog Bonnie with complete confidence that not only will she be safe and cared for but she will be loved.”
“Larysa was so kind, patient, attentive to my pet. She and her husband are both caring people, have a clean, calm home, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog. I will book again with her.”
“Heather and her family did a wonderful job caring for our dogs. We got daily updates and photos. Our dogs were happy and well cared for. We plan to use them to care for our dogs in the future.”
“Shayla is very responsive and great to work with. She treats your dog like one of her own. She has an awesome large fenced in back yard with so much space to play. I loved all the pictures and updates she sends. Will definitely be back for more stays!”
