She was sooo good with my 2 babies (cats) she automatically connected with my male cat, my female is very skittish, but Rachel knew what she needed to, T L C❤️ My plans, if she is still interested in next year, I would love for her to be able to come visit with my cats for a week again”
“Maria is awesome to work with. She responded to my initial request quickly and suggested the meet and greet. We set a time and date to meet and she was very proactive when her other appointments had her running behind to send me a message asking if we could meet just a bit later than originally planned. She asked great questions and got the lay of the land pretty quickly. On the day she was doing the drop-in visits she was on time and made sure to leave a picture of Morty for me. I would/will book Maria again when she is available as she was very professional and her communication is top-notch.”

About: Hi, my name is Yae, and I’m a devoted ally to your furry friends! I've been caring for pets my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether big or small, I love them all! Currently, I have a well-trained and socialized Rottweiler who adores playing with friendly dogs and cats. If your pet isn't the most sociable, no worries at all—I can easily separate them to ensure everyone feels comfortable. In some cases, my dog may not be with me, so just let me know, and I’ll be all theirs for the day! Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priority! I work from home so I’m available to look after your pet daily. If there’s a moment where I have to leave I can crate the baby if that’s okay with the owner but I will make sure that it isn’t super long. I’m pretty flexible throughout the week to look after your pet, so just let me know and we should be able to work something out. I live in a nice neighborhood. Many of neighbors have pets. Plenty of space for them to play and take them out for walks at anytime. I also have a nice fenced in backyard for the pups to run around in. In home I have plenty of room for them to roam as they please I don’t mind them on my furniture. I’m also flexible to look after the owners dogs at their space or just drop in for a little walk.

He watches Sasha so carefully while she interacts with other dogs, and he intercedes perfectly to deescalate any tensions that may pop up. All the dogs at the dog park like and respect Yae. They look to him for guidance and direction. My dog Bennie trusts Yae almost as much as me. I am pretty sure, if I were not around, Bennie would choose Yae to live with! Make your pet extra happy and start working with Yae today!!”
