“Mia is doing a wonderful job with Sunny! She is on-time (or early) each day and is a great communicator. Sunny is excited to be with her and she is able to handle his size and energy, using all the commands he's been taught. They have a lot of fun and we're very grateful for Mia!”

About: I've been an passionate animal lover and caretaker for as long as I can remember. My pets have always been considered a part of my family, and get taken care of as such! They're only on this earth with us for a short time, why not give them the world? <3 I've always been there to take care of family, friend's, and neighbor's pets whenever needed, enjoying some sunshine and fetch, a walk, or a nice couch snuggle! I enjoy animals of all breeds and sizes, having a small mutt, big Aussie, and teeny tiny ferret myself! Taking care of animals brings me great joy. When your pup or cat gives you those "don't leave me, how could you?" eyes as you're leaving for work/a trip, reassure them that their best friend Amber will be there shortly to make their day!! :) I'm currently in between jobs, with a work from home opportunity on the horizon! I have plenty of free time during the day currently to walk and check in with your furry friends. I always make sure I ask where all necessary materials are kept for my visits, and keep detailed logs! I ensure boundaries are clear between all parties so everyone is comfortable - I understand this business requires a level of trust that I ensure I earn and maintain with clear communication :)

“Abbigail was very prompt and professional with her communication, showed up on time, and walked our energetic puppy to get his wiggles out during a day that we could not. We were so happy to have her and everything went smoothly!”

“I am very grateful to have found Robin. I have a senior, female pit bull, who was abused before I adopted her. Lily senses Robin's kind nature. She has taken to Robin as a new "best buddy". She's happy to go on walks with Robin and looks forward to her visits. Robin is attentive and a great listener. She is also very punctual, which I appreciate greatly. She has followed all of my instructions perfectly (a rare attribute these days). I have found Robin to be very trustworthy. I give her 5 stars and would give her a 10, if possible. If you want a trustworthy, affectionate and kind hearted sitter, hire Robin.”

“Olivia was not only wonderful with my ‘old man’, Prince, she was such a delight herself. It’s quite evident that Olivia loves animals!!!! You can clearly see the careful and loving time that she takes in tending to and taking care of their needs. She was EXCELLENT!!! She also, after taking care of Prince, actually took the time to talk to me for a few minutes (before she had to leave for her next puppy adventure). In today’s world, it’s sad that a little more time isn’t spent creating relationships and getting to know your client. I didn’t get a ‘rushed’ job with Olivia. She was warm, caring, and took her time with even myself and getting to know me a little. Priceless!!! I would definitely hire Olivia again, and probably will in the future! A sincere thanks to you, Olivia!!”
