“Eric watched our dog Sterling for six days/nights and Sterling seemed to enjoy time spent together with Eric. Sterling was at ease around Eric from the get-go. Sterling had meds he was finishing up and Eric took over dosing Sterling for us. Eric kept us abreast of their time together with texts and photos, which we appreciated so much. If were to need a dog sitter again we would call Eric.”
“Rebecca watched my 2 fur babies and did an amazing job. She spent a full 24hours with them. She sent me pictures, videos and updates. I was able to enjoy a day away without any worry. I would for sure use here again!”
“Keilyn really saved us! We wanted to visit Mackinac Island and contacted her only a few hours prior. She came and took care of our Sadie like she was her own pet. We are very pleased and would highly recommend her!”
“Heather did a great job taking care of my new rescue dog with separation anxiety. Heather walked Nina at local parks and took lots of pictures, and I could tell that Nina had a wonderful time being spoiled by Heather while I was gone.”
“We were out of town and booked Emma to watch our golden and Springer spaniel for the day while we went in a kayak day trip. The girls seemed relaxed and at ease with Emma. We even got an update text and picture. We would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”
“Elika was wonderful when she stayed overnight with my dog and cat. She arranged a first time meeting to make sure it was a good fit and followed up promptly to messages. I received a glowing review from a reference and felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care. Elika was conscientious and ensured my home was just as I left it. She even washed and changed the sheets after her stay. My dog was relaxed around her and my cat was particularly affectionate as Elika was preparing to leave, so I'm sure they both will be happy to see her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had family pets for as long as I can remember. I am very comfortable with all types of animals! I also worked at pets mart for a year where I ran doggy day camp! I am currently a part time student. So I am available most days of the week. Mornings and afternoons work great for me! But very flexible with my schedule. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I also walk them on leashes and occasionally crate train if necessary. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your pet is safe and comfy.
About: I’ve always had a pet in my home, either cat or dog. They feed my spirit and are the best to show love and companionship. Side job while traveling as a nurse and I would be happy to care for your fur baby. I’m currently open to helping take care of your fur babies. My schedule is free and I’m hoping to help people in my area with the care of their pets. I love to show pets affection with toys and belly rubs. Leave a list of how you’d like me to service your pet and I’d be happy to follow it.
