“Amelia was FANTASTIC. She was incredibly flexible with me and my travel plans, and was so thorough during her visits. My cats really hate traveling, so it is really comforting to know that they had someone to spend quality time with while I was away. And it was clear when I got home that Amelia had kept them from feeling too lonely while I was away.”

About: I am a 30 year old college graduate and I have loved dogs my entire life. I was never allowed to have a dog growing up so I always asked my friends if I could hang out with their dogs whenever possible. I just honestly really love dogs and want to be able to hang out with as many as possible throughout my life. I interned at a Veterinary Clinic during my senior year of high school so I have become familiar with appropriate ways to administer medications, trim toe nails, and calm anxious pups. My availability is fairly flexible and I will always make time to take care of a pooch that needs it while their pet parents are away for whatever reason they have. My schedule can sometimes be unpredictable but I always do my best to communicate that with possible clients. Open communication is key for me to help you. If I’m in your home, I treat it like my own. I was raised to respect everyone and their belongings. Your pet’s safety is always my number one priority.

“Alexa is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She’s watched my elderly (12 years old) cattle dog on multiple occasions and he loves her! He has some special needs such as a medication he eats with his meals, and his mobility is limited. Alexa has always been attentive to those needs especially because he loves his walks even though he’s a slow boy. She will make sure your pet is loved and cared for so you can rest easy! I highly recommend Alexa!”
17. Jennifer L.
“I have an 8 year old Papillion who turned my home and life into a "war zone". She had severe separation anxiety as well has behavior issues like getting into the garbage the second I would turn my back. Strapped into her car seat she would jump around (stepping on various controls in my center "control" section and screaming like a banshee. I dreaded taking her anywhere, and if I left the house, I knew I would come home to her in the crate, covered in poo. I tried to give her the whole kitchen, she chewed through a baby gate and a bookcase to get to the living room. Then Jen started to work with her. Once a new behavior "clicked" with the training, Jen then taught me so that I could reinforce the wanted behaviors. (I also purposely stayed at home without leaving her for 3 weeks. Fast forward a few months and I can actually leave my home for a few hours as well as drive in relative peace! Then it culminated with me needing to be out of the country and trouble finding someone who could take my dog. So I brought her. She was SO perfect, like an animal in a move or tv show: all the walking through multiple airports for hours, sitting at gates forever, even being in a carrier under the seat in front of me for multiple long flights. Hundreds of people complimented her good behavior, especially at a very overcrowded gate! Plus she was good as gold while we were gone as well. I actually can enjoy and love my dog again, all thank to Jen's amazing gift.”
18. Amber R.
“Amber is a caring and responsible individual when it comes to providing for pets. She watched my two rambunctious kittens for over a week while away, and I had no issues with the experience. She provided excellent communication the entirety of her gig, and regularly updated me with pictures of my kitties. My space was left clean and treated respectfully during this time as well. Would highly recommend her to any others considering her services.”
19. Karina A.
“Karina was wonderful! She contacted me a few times to check on things like the heat in the house because it got cold, and if to use the vacuum to clean up kitty litter! Her daily reports and photos definitely helped with my anxiety over leaving my baby alone. Highly recommend Karina.”
