Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.

Ashlee did a wonderful job house sitting for us for a weekend! Our dogs were well taken care of, she sent us photo/video updates, and kept our home very neat and tidy. We couldn't ask for anything more!

Alexis did a wonderful job with our dog and we would highly recommend her. Our elderly dog suffers from anxiety and was immediately calm when he meet Alexis and we could tell when we got home that she gave him lots of love and attention.

I left my dog for the first time ever and I was nervous. Nancy put me at ease sending me videos and reassuring me the dog was fine. Nancy was really good with my dog and allowed me to really enjoy my trip. She is dependable and reliable. I highly recommend her.

McKenna was a great help with taking care of our 2 dogs, cats, and fish. We have a senior dog that requires medicine and McKenna made sure she took it everyday we were on vacation. She even came by the house when our younger dog was stuck under the deck and made sure he was safe and was able to get back inside. I highly recommend her. She is very responsible and kind.

Rose was a wonderful house/dog sitter while we were away! She was very responsive with our questions and sent daily pictures and videos of the pups. We could tell they were comfortable with her as they were acting like their usual goofy selves in the videos. She did an excellent job of keeping the house tidy, bringing in our mail and we especially appreciated that she brought in all our packages as we are getting married in a month and have wedding gifts delivered almost daily. We will certainly be hiring Rose again and she made us feel very comfortable being with our dogs in our house. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of trustworthy, caring and reliable dog care!

About: I have work experience in kennel and farm animal as well! I have been fostering pets since 2015 and am in undergrad for Veterinary Medicine. Pet care is usually always a responsibility 4-5 times a week when I am working. With my free time it can be my responsibility whenever. I provide care by creating a fun experience for the pet(s). No matter the personality of the pet, I will always love and want trust.
