Angie was delightful to work with. She responded quickly, communicated well, and was very comfortable with our 10 pound poodle and her quirks. Price was very fair. She is definitely our go-to person in the future.

Kevin has been wonderful….He keeps me updated, and even in my exhaustive busy time traveling it puts a smile on my face and an added relief knowing Maxx is in good hands! Maxx even got a buddy in the way of Kevin’s husky and they go to the dog park to play and also share fun with Kevin’s family!

During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!

This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!

Megan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she made it incredibly simple. Our cat, Ursa, has trouble using the litter box sometimes but Megan knew exactly how to handle it and gave us some tips on what we can do for her in our home. She will be our go-to when we go out and f town.

When I picked him up she had given him a bath and had a cute bandanna on him. I will definitely be contacting her again when I need a sitter. Thank you again Cherisse you and your husband where great !

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.

Joanne did a phenomenal job with our girl Echo. Two days before we were traveling we discovered our pup had a UTI and had to be on medication the entire time she was with Joanne. Joanne was so sweet, gave her all her medicine and Echo was completely better when we returned. Joanne sent lots of videos and kept us up to date. I could tell our girl was happy when Joanne sent a picture of Echo under the bed. That's Echo's favorite place and she had made herself right at home. Very glad we found Joanne!

Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.

Melissa was a wonderful babysitter for our fur-baby, Chevi💗 She was so thoughtful of our feelings of leaving her with someone we didn’t know before. She sent us several pictures every day of their walks, which is Chevi’s favorite thing to do, along with playing Tug-o -war with her stuffed animals. Chevi had to be on a specific diet for a while and she did great at making sure that this diet was followed. Melissa was a great comfort to us during this time away!!
