“Had a great experience with Angela. She made the effort to come meet the dogs before the actual stay. She communicated and sent pictures while I was on vacation. Definitely would recommend and hire her for future trips.”

“Kelley was amazing. She took care of our two dogs (one was puppy who is very high energy and doesn't give you a moment of peace) and bird for 2 nights. I know the puppy ran her ragged. Loved the pictures we received each day. The house was clean upon our return and the dogs (and bird) were happy and obviously well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Kelley.”

“Thank you Casey for your awesomeness. Yogi loved your companionship. We both truly appreciate your kindness, happiness, helpfulness and awesomeness. Yogi loves his new friend Casey. We both look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your excellent attention and friendship. 😊⭐️🤗⭐️🐕”

“Meleah was amazing! She communicated, sent updated and pictures which I loved! She was super sweet and my dogs warmed up to her quick. Especially my girl dog who is a little timed with people but she did amazing! Definitely will book with her again!”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving my pet with someone new. But the experience turned out amazing. They were very kind, reliable, and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My pet looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about animals. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Jaime did a great job taking care of my 2 cats and 2 dogs while I was on a work trip. He was communicative and competent, listened to my pets needs and took flawless care of them. I didn't have to worry at all as I received regular photo updates. Thank you, Jaime!”

“Jennifer was very kind to watch Mamba with less than a week's notice, which I really appreciated! Mamba also had a last-minute vet visit and Jennifer was still willing to watch her with a cone, and some new medication to administer that I had not planned on. Everything went smoothly! Loved getting pictures as well!”

I am a loving and compassionate person and have a soft spot for senior dogs and bully breeds. I am a firm believer that pets are a huge part of the family and should be treated as such!

I am available for pet sitting in my home, or dropping by your house for playtime/walks or feedings. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Ann was absolutely incredible! Our English Bulldogs can be a bit high-maintenance, but she took exceptional care of them. She stayed in constant communication while we were away, sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing how much fun they were having made it so much easier for us to relax on our trip. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare our home for the winter storm that hit while we were gone. Ann was truly a blessing, and our boys already can't wait to see her again 😊”

“Jennifer was great with our two little guys. They can be challenging, we have a 3 month old pup and and 2 yr old pit that love to play and need lots of attention and Jennifer handled it like a pro. Very professional, great communication and followed specifics for each of our guys to a T. Would highly recommend and will definitely book with her again next time our little guys need care.”
