Mercedes really put our minds at ease with her confidence and professionalism. We have such an active, and very young puppy and a 5 year old doodle and she took such great care of them. The house was nearly untouched and spotless. They were happy and excited when we got home. She even vacuumed and kept us fully updated and sent pictures. 100% would highly recommend and would book her again.

We love Cierra! She took such good care of all our babies and kept me posted every day. My one dog needed lots of special care and she stepped right up. She came over several times before our trip to learn the ropes and get to know everyone.Our house was perfect when we returned.

Chantelle is an amazing dog walker! She always treats every dog as if it was her own. She also has so much love for animals! (With the exception of snakes 😁) I know of one pup in particular that is an older one and since Chantelle has been walking her it seems she has new life in her! I would recommend Chantelle to anyone looking for a dog walker! She is truly amazing!

Coen did a great job taking care of my pets. He was responsive to my messages and easy to communicate with. It's clear that he cares deeply about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and well cared for. My dog has some trust issues with new people and he was incredibly sensitive to her special needs and now they are best friends! I definitely recommend him to other pet parents and will use him again myself.

The last person we used from Rover was not very good so we were kinda worried using Rover again. This was our first time using Kelsey. She was awesome. Both of our dogs are seniors and have health issues. Our oldest dog has arthritis and requires pain meds, but may need more or less depending on activity level. She sometimes also refuses to eat while we are gone. We gave Kelsey some tips to gets our oldest dog to eat. Our second dog is almost scared or everything so we were worried about how she would react to a new person. Kelsey was awesome. When we came home, our nervous dog would go to Kelsey and let her love on her even though we had just gotten home. Our oldest dog who sometimes refuses to eat, Kelsey went above and beyond all of the things we told her to try. When we got home, our older dog looked beautiful and had not lost any weight. Usually when we get back from vacation, she has lost so much weight we can see her spine and sometimes her ribs because she wont eat. Kelsey took the time to figure out how to work with each of my dogs to keep them happy and healthy.

About: I have worked with my dog Onyx since getting him (now AKC Good Citizen) and as well as potty training. I have had many dogs since a young age as well. I’m currently in school and want to help out with morning pet activities or necessities . Also possibly also incorporate my own dog with having new friends. My pets are on scheduled feeding times and timely walks and play. Walks mainly around the city and local parks. Also socializing in pet friendly stores and car rides in harnessed car seats and/or carriers.

Ellee was absolutely amazing! I can’t describe how thankful we are for her this weekend! She went above and beyond for us; she made sure they were well visited, well cuddled and well fed! She even did some laundry and left a sweet note & gift. I am so happy to have found her and the pets just loved her. Definitely excited to have her again in the future 💛

Wolfe is amazing with animals they have wanted to be a vet since they could talk. They love learning everything about dog training and has went to one on one classes to learn more. Every animal loves them I swear. So whether or not your looking for a full time dog walker or cat sitter they are a top choice for best service.

She absolutely loves animals and did absolutely great with Jax and ruby! Took excellent care of them while we were on vacation and I would say even better care of them then just excellent they were so happy and worn out when they got home and when we were about to leave they didn’t want to leave either!😂 I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for boarding walking grooming training or even pet sitting at your own house!

Anthony has been watching all my cats and my dog for the past 3 years. He is loving patient and considerate. His attention to detail when I give him a list of things my dog requires is super helpful in making me Feel better. As a veteran myself I have needed to ask him to watch my dog for extended period of time while I was away on duty and he has been wonderful in communicating and calling while me to FaceTime my dog while I was overseas. Couldn’t ask for a better companion for my dog than a Marine. My animals love him more than me.

About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always had pets in my home. I have watched pets for friends and family for years, but recently moved to the area and found myself missing the opportunity to provide care for my favorite furry friends. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with special medical needs. I would love to provide walks, bathroom breaks, and overnight care for any of your pets. Whether you just need a break from potty breaks and walks once in awhile, overnight care, or long term care, I would love to help you and your pets! I currently work remotely part-time so I have a ton of flexibility. Your pets will be my number one focus during their time with me and I can flex my remote work to fit around your schedule! I only offer services at your home as I have a dog of my own. I want to ensure that your pet gets 100% of my attention and isn't subjected to a new environment and new dog that may stress them out. I have a hybrid work schedule and can work from home when necessary, perfect to provide plenty of play time, potty breaks, and attention for your pets. I live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for calm walks! I have a large yard that borders a wooded area. While my yard isn’t fenced, there’s lots of room to roam on the leash
