“Merrick is fantastic and I will absolutely have him watch my dogs in the future. My dogs are usually anxious when I travel, but did great in Merrick's care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”

“Ariel was super helpful taking care of my kitty while o was away, even checking in to switch my heat on since it got cold while I was away! She paid lots of attention to my cat and did a great job keeping up with litter, food, water, and playtime”

“Terry kept me in the loop with pictures and her scheduled visits. My “skittish” black cat was in great shape upon arriving home. I was very pleased and appreciative of Terry’s job with BK. I will definitely be calling upon her cat care again. Ty Terry.”

“I am so thankful I found Melissa! Toby LOVES her and is always so excited to see her! She has taken such good care of him on her drop-ins - she plays with him, loves on him and makes sure he has everything he needs and that I have requested for him. She is a jewel!!”

“Leigh Anne is always so great with our puppy! She plays with her and gives her all the puppy attention she needs. We really appreciate her checking on our baby!”

“Bailey took great care of our cats and dog while away. We have a large Rottie that can be a bit intimidating but she handled him with ease. Her attention was much appreciated.”
“Maggie is an angel and cat whisperer! Our two little critters had a great time during Maggie’s drop in visits. She was so thorough and let us know when each visit started and ended and included pictures! Her updates made us feel so comforted that our little fur babies were doing well and that they were happy. She is so kind and the house was in excellent shape when we got home. We will definitely be using her in the future as her schedule allows!”

About: I've been around dogs since I was a kid. I'm an only child and dogs were my form of company; I would call them my brothers and sisters. I also trained puppies even when I was young myself. I enjoyed every minute of it. My love for dogs go above and beyond. I work part-time and even though the days I work are not consistent, the time I get off is always the same, which is 5pm. I would still have time for your amazing pets. I am very well with following routines, especially when It comes to health. If your pet has a certain diet, I will maintain that diet even when you are away. If your pet has a certain piece of clothing they would like to wear, I have absolutely no problem with making them feel comfortable. If your dog also requires a certain about of attention at a certain time, I would happily attend to them as such.
“Nadia did a great job winning my babies over and making them feel comfortable. My puppy is weary of all strangers but she warmed up to Nadia swiftly and was wagging her tail and excited when she came to let them out the next day.”

“Rebecca did a great job taking care of my baby. She was on time for the visit and treated him like her own. She sent me lots of pictures of my sweet boy. Would recommend and will use again”

Kyleigh was incredible! Our cats were well fed and taken care of and our house was clean when we returned. The pictures she sent were amazing and showed how comfortable our cats were with her. If we ever need a sitter again, she will be the first person we contact.
