I'm currently working from home, so I have some extra time to play with your pets! I've always wanted to have one, but my parents didn't allow it. Now that I live by myself, I understand the level of responsibility they require. Taking care of your pets will give me a chance to experience that firsthand

While I may not have extensive pet care experience, my constant companionship with my ten-year-younger brother has honed my attentiveness and responsibility.

Living in a pet-friendly environment, I have the advantage of a dog run in my building and a charming little dog park nearby. This ensures that your pet gets plenty of exercise and fresh air. Moreover, my adoration for cats means that they'll receive all the attention, playtime, and affection they crave right in the comfort of my home. Rest assured, your beloved fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and affection.

Ann was the best! She took great care of our 10-year old chihuahua. She kept us updated on his status and included photos. It didn’t take long for William to settle in with Ann, would definitely re-book. We could tell that she truly loves animals.

Ann did a fantastic job with my dog, Toby. I hadn’t left him with someone I didn’t know in several years, so I was a little nervous. Little dogs seem to be extra sensitive, and I needed someone who would give him enough attention. She put all my fears to rest immediately. She sent daily updates with pictures. I could tell he was relaxed and well-taken care of. I think he even ate more consistently with her than he does at home. Toby’s favorite thing is to walk around and smell grass and plants, and she gave him all the time to do that. I’m so grateful his stay went well so I could enjoy my vacation.
