Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

About: Pets are the best things in the world! I’ve grown up with my own pets and nothing makes me happier. I have pet sat 30 pets in my time and I’d love to watch yours too! I’ve even fostered 3 dogs in my own home, all of which have been adopted. Adding a pet is just an extra step to everyday routine and I’d love to share all my love with them too! I work full time, but again pets are family! They are something you cater to everyday and make time for no matter what. Everyone has their own needs and so do pets, so I will be make sure they are well taken care off based off each individual need. I have a fenced yard, no other pets in the house (as of now). Depending on the dogs needs/ owners wants I can accommodate to what is needed!

About: I had to put down my best friend of 13.5 years. A German Shorthair named Zeus.I cherished every day with that dog. I wasn’t going to dive into getting another dog, so rover was my best option :) I fully trained him, never needed a kennel, never bit a soul. I will give your pet(s) the same love and affection I gave my Zeuser. On top of that, I love to train dogs and can instill some obedience in them as well(if necessary). Big, small, I love em all :) My business partner and I manage a company together, so I work my own hours. I’m the definition of a flexible sitter, leaving the house once a (week)day for the gym. Other than that, myself or my girlfriend are at the house showing your pet the love they deserve I have a fully fenced in yard, so your pet will get plenty of play time and exercise! It’s just my girl n me here after losing my best friend, so it’s unlikely your pet will ever need to be kenneled unless they’re extremely wild, or destroying my furniture, or I’m watching other dogs as well and they aren’t getting along.

Karina is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever met. She goes above and beyond when caring for other peoples animals. She has watched my cats multiple times and there is genuinely no one else I would trust them with. Whether it’s giving them wet food, taking them on extra walks, or finding news toys and ways to keep your pets happy and entertained she is willing to do it.

I have known Jaden for almost 20 years and from the beginning his passion for dogs has shown through. I remember the day when he showed up to school claiming his parents had gotten him a puppy named Zeus. His childhood passion for Zeus continued as they both grew up together. Every time I came to visit Zeus was there running in the yard or cuddling up next to you while watching a movie. Zeus living a long and loved life thanks to the care and love from Jaden.
