“I am so happy that Ashley came to take care of our spoiled little babies. My dog Jack has the worst separation anxiety of any animal that I’ve ever known. He can’t be left alone, he will stress out so much, making himself sick and tearing up and house. Once he even chewed up the brass door knob. Ashley was absolutely wonderful with him, she was so patient and attentive to him. I thought our new Siamese kitten was going to worry her most but he was just playful and happy. All 3 of my animals were so well taken care of, if you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Ashley. I will use her again and I will recommend her to everyone that I know 🥰”


“Knowing that Teresa was talking such wonderful care of our babies, it made our trip even more enjoyable. Sending videos and pictures of the babies and concerned about their wellbeing is tops for me. I’m one of those over-protective parent. We appreciate her for all that she has done for us during our trip away fro our babies.”


“Denisha was amazing! She was super prompt with communication and made leaving my two pups so much easier. She catered to all their needs, kept our home in great shape, and I could tell my dogs felt happy and loved the whole time. We came home to two very content pups and a tidy house. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”

“Meagan did a great job watching our 2 pups and our home! She gave updates and even worked through a snag with our gate (whoops) with grace and walked up to the house to take care of the dogs. She's easy to work with, seemed loving to our pups and was ready and prepared to work with our reactive dog on walks. All meds were given as requested for our elderly boy and all went great. Would use Meagan again and I'm sure we will in the future!”


“Leona was fantastic, our pups were very well cared for and very content when we returned from our trip. She sent us pics while we were gone which was very reassuring and went the extra mile.”

About: All of my life I have had the pleasure of a furry companion in my home and of course that is still true to this day! My dog Lucas is certainly considered apart of the family and more than just a pet. Any animals that I have cared for in the past and present will always be treated like the unique and beautiful creatures that they are. I primarily have experience with adult dogs as my family had the routine of raising a puppy into adulthood and enjoying our time with them until they passed away. I am also no stranger to numerous puppies and their specific care needs as I have assisted in the birth of a litter, and was there for the entire weening process. From puppies into adulthood and senior dogs I have had years of experience. I am also very comfortable with kittens, cats, and horses. Although I haven't had much personal day to day experience, in the past I have cared for cats for years being a trusted kitty sitter. I am fortunate enough to have the flexibility to devote a lot of time to pet care. Your beloved animal will be under nearly constant supervision and they will be my top priority along with my dog Lucas. The only times that your animal will be left alone would be a few hours at a time if I am running errands or spending time out of the house for fun. If I am able to bring them along on any adventures I like to bring them too so they can get out of the house as well. In my household all animals are treated just as well as any of their humans, sometimes better. I love giving them all the affection/ attention they deserve, and all the treats that are allowed for the day. I regularly pick up the client's yard and make sure no poo poo paws come into the house. If you have any special requests unique to your pet I would be happy to implement those. For example, Lucas always gets a good boy treat after every meal and is accustomed to being told "good morning Lucas, I love you." If you and your pet have any special quirks that they have grown to love and expect I will happily carry out these traditions in your absence.
