“Outstanding!!! Our babies loved staying with Traci. They were spoiled and got to play in a big yard which they absolutely loved! Traci provided updates and pictures of the dogs which was so nice for us. We really appreciate it, and will definitely contact her again in future.”
“Julie was great with my kitty. He had never been around other cats or dogs before and she made sure to give him his own room while he slowly adjusted to being around other animals. She sent pictures and videos daily. Louie had a great time!”
“This was my first time boarding my small dog and I was anxious. Kayla and her family were very warm and welcoming and took good care of Belle. She was very happy to see me and still ran to Kayla for last minute cuddles. I would board her with Kayla again if I could! I left a tip with her husband. Thank you!”
“Drax loved his time with Jenna and her family so much, he couldn't decide if he was happy to see me or if he would rather stay and play some more. Jenna kept me updated with messages and pictures while he was there and I could tell he was so comfortable and content with his surroundings. I will definitely contact Jenna again if I am in need of a place for Drax to be.”
“Shelley was amazing with our dog. She even did some research on our not so popular breed so that she was prepared for our puppy's overnight stay. Shelley was very thorough in her care for Dixie, explained how she would introduce her safely to her other pets, and how she would keep them separated if they didn't get along. Our dog loved her pets and got lots of energy out playing with them and Shelley. We received pictures and videos and knew Dixie was in very good and informative hands. Would definitely recommend Shelley to anyone who needs to have their pet cared for!”
“We needed care for our Pet dog and got on Rover .Rylie was one of the names that came up. She was available and boy were we relieved! We thought we had care prior to needing Rylie but our caregiver was not available! Rylie…to the rescue! She is incredible! She met us prior to our trip, was so prompt and attentive to us with photos and updates! We were able to relax our minds with Popeye in her care! May I add, Popeye has quirks and it seemed like just an ordinary thing with Rylie…she just goes with the pets Personality…we are so grateful for Rylie and hopefully we can use her amazing service again!”
About: For most of my life, I grew up on a farm full of a variety of animals. We owned chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ducks, geese, horses, and sheep. On top of that, we also kept many dogs and cats around too. Due to this, I grew up loving all my animal companions and practicing the best ways to care for our furry friends. This lifestyle is also what sparked a dream for me to become a veterinarian one day and continue on caring for animals the rest of my life. Now that my family no longer lives on that farm, I have still found ways to continue on caring for animals. My family was able to take our dogs and some cats along with us when we moved and so I still spend every day taking them on walks, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, playing with them, and feeding and watering them. Anything they need, I have always been happy to take care of. On top of that, I have been working at a local vet clinic as a ward attendant for the past two years, participating in many of these same duties. Currently, I am looking for ways to fill my free time with a little extra animal love, as I am someone who likes to always be busy doing something for others. Additionally, I am aiming to possibly make a little extra cash as a college student trying to get her pre-veterinarian degree. With classes going on, my schedule is pretty strict, unfortunately. However, my evening availability can be very flexible as I have mainly morning classes and my evenings are dedicated to studying. Therefore, if you need my help with your furry family member, I would be glad for you to use my low-priced services offered ranging from walks to house sitting to drop-in visits!
About: I had 2 pit bulls thier whole lives and they were just like my babies. I trained both of them and they were the biggest babies I have ever seen. I am currently not employed so I have plenty of time to look after and spoil your fur baby or babies. I will love them like you do. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I have a decent sized yard and will keep a very close eye on them
“I was so nervous to leave my baby girl, Ginger, with a stranger for a week. However, Jacob was great. His dog was so friendly and he and Ginger got along wonderfully. I got updates and pictures. Jacob always returned my messages when I was feeling worried or guilty. When we picked Ginger up, she was excited to get back home, but I could tell she missed Jacob and R. too. I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.”
