We were very impressed with Ashleigh’s care for our two dogs. Our energetic sheepadoodle requires a lot of playtime, and Ashleigh dedicated nearly all her free moments to playing fetch with him. She also managed our house, watering the plants and handling the mail. Thanks to her, our vacation was fantastic. We’ll certainly reach out to her for our future trips.

Dina was a huge blessing to us and our dogs. Our dogs are seniors that have medicines, supplements and specific routines that I get nervous about when explaining to new sitters but she handled everything so well and graciously. She went above and beyond in taking great care of our sweet dogs and she had great attention to detail. You can tell she is a true animal lover and it makes us feel more comfortable when traveling knowing someone we can trust is taking care of them and our house. She sent updates and pictures everyday. Thanks again!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child from feeding to taking them for a walk. I love dogs! I miss my little Arnold (schnauzer) I can take care of them through the afternoon, when I get from work, until night. Also weekends any time as needed. I can arrange my schedule to make it work! I am offering care for pet in client home, so I can play with them in the back yard, walk them outside and give company. Also, I offer to feed them, give medicine or prepare special food if it is necesary to make them feel good. I can also give them a bath in an appropiate place and groom.
