“Emily is the Best! She took amazing care of my dog and kept us up to date each day of our vacation. I’d highly recommend Emily and will trust her with my dog whenever we go away.”
“Lexi was exceptional. Kept us updated, sent pics and played with our Great Pyrenees. She was very kind and personable. On our initial meet and greet she she’d a lot of questions so she could be well prepared. She was a delight to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!”

“This is the second time we had Tessa come and stay in our home while we were away. She took great care of our animals and was respectful of our home. I won’t hesitate to book her again for a long trip.”
“Ashley was AMAZING with our two pups! We never leave without them because they have anxiety. Ashley came in and immediately our dogs were excited and comfortable around her! Without a doubt we will be using Ashley for our future needs!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 7. I am a veterinary technician with 4 years of college education and 2 years of experience. I can give medications, fluids, and great pet care. I work full time so my schedule is not completely open. I alternate by being off or getting off work one day each week and work every other Saturday until 12pm. Just ask! I will walk dogs only in safe areas, will let them out in fenced yards. I would not allow others pets to approach the pets I’m taking care of. I will show your pet all the love they deserve to have unless they would rather be left alone.

About: I can do boarding for any friendly cat since I have 2 kittens but it would be hard for me to watch a dog in my apartment or board a dog so I would have to come to your house to watch your dog. For any visit that I will make to your house, I will make absolute sure that your dog is comfortable with me being there, then I will gain their trust so that every time I come back they will get more and more happy that their friend Nikki is coming to take care of them! If your dog needs a walk, don't worry! I have experience with a dog that weighs a good 100 pounds, so they can't run away from me!

Also, any animal I meet I love, so that means any job I take, I will be more than happy to keep returning to your house, or walking your dog(s)!

“Jamie was great with our dog Vader! She was very attentive to his needs and expanded the hours to accommodate our event we attended. We will be using her in the future.”
Sara Jo D.
“Sara was amazing with all of our pets. We have 2 dogs and a cat which are very picky but they took to her right away! She did everything we asked and then some. I must admit I was a bit skeptical about this process at first but after meeting Sara, It was so great to know we had a trustworthy person staying in our house for 10 days. She sent us pictures and videos every day. She even washed the towels and ran the dishwasher! We will for sure be using Sara to babysit our beloved animals again...they missed her when she left!!!”
Amanda K.
“I'm glad we choose Amanda because I didn't need to worry while I was out of town. She had good communication, sent me pictures of my happy dog, and was reliable.”
Nicole K.
“I have a 5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Dakota. She is approximately 110 pounds and every well trained. Nicole (we call her Nikki) has been to my house when home from University for about a year and has been always exceptional with Dakota. She calls for her to come and lay beside her and pets her - she plays with her in the yard - and takes her for walks around the plan. I believe that Nikki is more than acceptable to become a dog sitter and a loving dog caregiver. She has proved to be responsible - intelligent - and well suited for this position. You are making a good decision.”
Amber P.
