Pet care experience

Fun, punctual, and communicative!

I've always had pets growing up, and now have a fur baby of my own - Poppy! I rescued her as a kitten from a parking lot in Missouri and the rest is history! Proven track record of caring for my friends’ dogs - from your frenchies to greyhounds and everything in between. I understand the anxiety of leaving your fur babies behind when you leave for work or vacation and I look forward to sending you pictures during my visits!

Another great experience having Ellen watch my cats! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was tidy and they were taken care of. Definitely recommend her!
