Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.

About: I've been around animals around pretty much my whole life. I've had 3 cats and 3 dogs growing up, and I started caring for them myself by the age of 10. I've also had hamsters, guinea pigs, and a hedgehog. Making sure that pets feel safe and loved is my #1 goal. I work full time, but I have no problem checking in on them before my shifts and after my shifts. It makes my days feel more fulfilled. I will take your dogs out for walks around the neighborhood, play with them outside in the yard, and always make sure that they are safe.

I can walk your dog from 4pm to 10pm on the weekday, Also, I'm available to walk your dog during the Weekends at any time! I do not offer this service due to the fact that I do not have my own house to keep your dog. I'm truly sorry.

About: Hi! My name is Raquel Messinger. I’ve had multiple dogs and other animals throughout my childhood. All of my animals have had long, happy, and healthy lives. I started doing this because of my love of all animals, they make my day! I have a puppy and have had senior dogs as well so I have plenty of experiences for all ages. I only have school and work for a couple hours during the day, so I would have plenty of time to spend with your dog! I can take your dogs on walks, provide them with lots of love, mental stimulation, and more. I will follow any schedule you might have.

Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!

Such a good sitter. She even took my dog to run around multiple times which is something I can’t do. Cielo was very knowledgeable about Piccolos breed and did so good with him. I definitely will be booking again!

About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm working FT so im only available evenings after 5 and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.

Elly was great! She was on time for the visit, followed all of our instructions and communicated perfectly. She has great attention to detail and calm energy that is very important with one of our dogs that is shy around new people. We couldn't be happier with Elly and will definitely use her again for drop ins and evernight stays.
