Pet care experience

Allow me to love on your pet.

I have grown up with animals. Dogs and cats are at the top of the list. I've been around domesticated animals all of my life. My first kittens at my young age was two siames kittens Who had 2 litters of kittens as well as having to toy poodle dogs, that had two litters of puppies twice. I must have been about 10 so it was from then that I have been loving & caring for fur babies.. Though I do not Own a dog or a cat right now, but look forward to owning some in my future.. I currently own a guinea pig. I just recently experienced the end of a pug/fur baby end of life. I took care of the pug for his last six months of life. Soon after that I boarded a beautiful pitbull for the weekend of mother's day. So to book with me, i'm sure I will have you covered..

This was our second time booking with Mrs. Ethel, and she was just as wonderful as the first! She has such a beautiful spirit, and Jaxon always comes home happy and smiling. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gives him and truly appreciate her support. Highly recommend!

Ethel was great! She helped us out when another sitter cancelled close to our booking. Everything went smoothly and she was easy to communicate with. She took great care of our girl!

Mrs. Ethel was wonderful! She was very kind, responsive, and you can truly tell she has a heart for animals. I felt completely at ease leaving Jaxon in her care. I would book with her again!

From the meet and greet, Ms Ethel put all my worries at ease. She took to my Riley and was warm and welcome with her. She was willing to learn my routine and Riley’s personality to make sure the time they shared didn’t cause stress to either of us. I received plenty of updates and pictures without even asking. I came home to happy dog and that made me ever more happier. Riley will be back!
