Did a wonderful job filling in and picking up the slack after my first sitter decided to take 4 days off without a peep. Life saver. Thank you Christina.

I haven’t used a service like this before and was kind of hesitant about it. Andrea did a fantastic job and took excellent care of my Yoda. I will definitely be using this service again. Thank you Andrea!

I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was 5 years old. I was raised on a farm, and now have one of my own. I am a teacher, and I will keep my availability open as my schedule allows. I will always make sure my schedule is updated. I make sure that your pet is my priority when scheduling any other events. I have a 6 foot, wooden privacy fence around my 1/4 of an acre yard. Dolly loves the company, she is 4lbs of spicy chihuahua-ness.

Tanya was extremely attentive to our cats while we were gone and very attuned to their body language and (obviously) non-verbal communication. She was also great at communicating with us. Couldn’t recommend a better caretaker - would gladly hire her again!

Coleman has taken care of our dogs for over 8 years. He is very dependable and we can always count on him. He is always up for playing, walking, or snuggling our girls. One of our dogs has medical needs and he is comfortable giving the medicine and making sure it is timed correctly. Our girls love when Coleman walks in the door, he is one of their favorite people. I highly recommend Coleman for all of your pet needs!

Kayla is very easy to work with. She is very patient and plays with our young puppy when she comes over. She sends a cute picture every time, and is helping us teach basic commands to our rescue dog. I would definitely recommend booking Kayla to watch your animals.
