Pet care experience

When I was 8 years old, my dad wanted me to practice ordering for myself at Mcdonald's. The cashier asked me my name, and apparently I said "Name is Dog." Dog isn't my name, but I still view animals and nature as sacred. I enjoy bonding with other creatures who speak only in body language--a raised eye brow, a wagging or drooping tail, a hopeful glance towards a food bowl or a leash. I've had dogs, cats, and gerbils as pets, including puppies and my current kitten, Little Bird. I delight in being a source of reassurance for pet owners when they are away from their homes.

Hays is fantastic! He took to my pup right away, despite his being an excitable bark-head. He was patient, calm, kind, affectionate, and fun-loving w/ my baby boy! Hays is a great communicator; he arrived right on time and kept thing seamless and easy ~ So much appreciate it, my boy had so much fun in Hays care!

Hays was extremely reliable and communicative. He stayed at our home for an entire week with two dogs and one cat. The dogs are older and required some additional care and he was on top of it . If he had any questions or concerns, he was great about reaching out to me. The house was neat and orderly upon our return. All our fur babies were well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking and I highly recommend.

I'll gladly endorse Mr. Berry as a petsitter! Hays has taken care of my many dogs and cats for over 10 years. He clearly has a wonderful connection with animals. Once when I was gone, he noticed my tiny cat Fifi wasn't hanging out as she usually does. He looked all over my house on a hunch and found her in a closet. She's unable to meow loudly because of a medical issue, so he really did probably save her life.
