Your pets are in good hands

Pet care experience

I grew up in a small village which gave me the opportunity to take care of all types of animals including horses, birds, dogs, and cats. I have had my dog Gucci for 11 years now ( he lives with my family overseas) and was taking care of 2 very adorable stray dogs Rex ,Angel ,and a cat named olive. Angel can’t see in one eye so he needed all the help he could get. After taking care of them for about a year I decided to find them their forever homes. Rex, olive ,and angel were adopted by two warm and loving homes. Before leaving them I made sure that they were given proper care and the attention they need.

Elissa was great with my Onyx. She provided updates and I could tell he was well cared for.

Sammie stayed with Elissa three 4 days and 3 nights. During the entire stay, Elissa sent pictures and videos which kept me in the loop. Sammie came back happy, and I could tell she was taken care of. Highly recommend!

Elissa was very attentive with our dogs and gave updates and pictures frequently. One of our dogs is a senior who needs some assistance and wears belly bands for urinary dribble which she handled like a pro
