“This is my second time having Breanna sit my cat, and she was as incredible as the first time. She even made a small mistake (came at 10am instead of 10pm due to a misread) and came back at 10pm for free. Overall, she is an incredible sitter and person, and is more than willing to go above and beyond for your pet.”
“Lexi has helped us with our dogs on multiple occasions and she is always amazing. She communicates if there is a concern, she cleans up if the dogs make a mess, and she is very reliable. We are so grateful for her! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for years, and I have two of my own—so I get it. I’m super dependable, really patient, and honestly just love being around animals. I care about doing things right and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. Right now I don’t have much going on, so I’m super flexible and can fit pet care in pretty much anytime. I’m taking a class, but I can work that around whatever schedule is needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, just being honest, but my dogs are super friendly and love other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed or keep them separate—we have a whole downstairs area I can stay in with them if that’s more comfortable. I’m also happy to take them on walks as often as needed to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.

About: I’ve had animals in my life as long as I can remember. I am currently attending school to get a vet tech degree. I have both volunteered and worked at animal shelters and have taken classes on dog behavior and handling. I work until 3:30 during the week so I have lots of free time in the afternoons. I have two days off a week that I can also take on more pet care. I am currently not planning on boarding or pet sitting in my own home. The pets in my own home get time to run and play outside, daily walks, and lots of time spent on training.
