4. Mary M.
“Mary is fantastic! She is so patient and loving especially with skittish, surly cats! My cat Kaleb never takes to anyone and when he came back from all of the other places he was skinny, had lost a lot of his fur and took a long time to get back to his old self. With Mary he warmed up to her in about 2 days and even rubbed her leg. When I came to pick him up he was down for the night and very comfortable, understandably he did not want to come with me and that has never happened before. He loves it there and so do I! Mary and Dana are the absolute best out there! I most definitely will book with her again and again and again..”

“Darralann was fantastic! We are from out of state and she was very flexible as we sorted out our travel plans. We received many photos and updates throughout Tucker's stay and we could tell he had a great time while staying in her home. We've recommended her to local friends for their three dogs and next time we're in the area visiting, we will certainly reach out to her again.”

“Kristin was amazing with my fur baby. Sonny is usually very skittish around new people but he took to Kristin so quickly so he didn't have any tummy issues for the entire stay. She also kept me updated every day with pictures and videos so I knew he was in great hands. Kristin is my go-to dog sitter for the rest of Sonny's life!!”

About: Use Code: AINSLS72364 for $20 your first booking with me! You can expect your dogs to be loved and taken care of. I am a full-time student, and full-time momma. I do not mind staying overnight depending on location. I love pets. I have owned three dogs and I have kept all of them very happy. I can feed, water, play, walk, and help train your pet. I love dogs of all size, but I would rather not work with a dog who is aggressive. I can not wait to give your fur baby however much love he/she needs or wants. I am currently waiting to become a full time student, most of which will be online. I have very open flexibility and schedule for what you may need. I have a fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for your pet to run around and play in. I can provide frequent potty breaks and play time. Inside they can have food and water and a place to rest.
