I have skills to do basic trainings with dogs, as well as a strong skill in consistency to make sure your pet’s training you’ve worked so hard on continues to be worked for under my care.

Eva H.
“Eva is a very reliable, dependable young lady with a great work ethic! She has managed to work 20-30 hours a week for the last 2 years while finishing up her high school career with an honors diploma. When it comes to dogs (actually all animals)....SHE LOVES THEM ALL!! She’s volunteered at the Humane Society to play with the animals and give them all some lovings. Every road trip or vacation she takes she’ll find pet stores to visit so she can play with all the puppies. When her parents are out of town (once or twice a year), she sits for the family dogs...a 13 year old mixed breed and a 5 year old Shih Tzu/Pekingese dog. So, with all that being said, I highly recommend Eva as a dog sitter. :)”


Mary G.
“Mary was wonderful watching my dog for a few days. While I was gone she kept in contact and sent plenty of pictures and videos. My dog seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. I would highly recommend Mary and will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
