My best for your pet

I have an associate degree in animal science and that already explains my love for animals a little, I guess Haha ​​My whole life I've always had animals around and I've always babysat in my spare time, now I'm going to be monetized for that :D All the people who know me They know how much I love them and never think twice to ask me to take care of them. Your pet will be in good hands!

As a first timer I didn’t know what to expect and was nervous. But soon after I became comfortable once receiving photo worthy moments of my happy dog Luna with Karen. You could see how happy and comfortable Luna was having a large fenced yard and many toys to play with. She couldn’t get enough of it. Karen gave enough attention to Luna. She asked for permission before giving Luna anything that she did not come with which I appreciated. I would certainly choose Karen again if I ever needed someone to take care of Luna.

Karen was awesome with our dogs Kane and Jersey. Received updates and photos each day. She treated them like family.

Karen did a great job with my two puppies! She was very communicative the entire time she had them, and sent lots of updates & pictures/videos. Will definitely be using here again in the future!

Karen was extremely responsive and kept me updated with how my Yorkie was doing. I can’t praise her enough.

This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know personally. It was my wedding day so I didn’t have any one to watch her. Karen was amazing!! Sending me lots of cute pictures & videos. She was extremely lenient & understanding with pick up time the day after my wedding. Assuring me not to rush & just enjoy. She’s so sweet & kind with a nice yard! I knew the minute I met her my dog was in good hands. Would definitely use her again!

I work part time away from home and part time from home so my schedule can be quite flexible. There is always someone at my house when I am working, so your pet will always be supervised and given the necessary attention.

Where your pet will stay

Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 2 cats
Children 0-5 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed

Safety, trust & environment

Before anything, I always ask the owners about all their pet's needs, such as schedules, medications, tips, habits, etc. To try to reduce stress and reduce the emotional distress that the pet will probably suffer being away from its natural habitat. Other than that, I always let you know if I see anything out of the ordinary and I'm always sending super cute photos to warm the heart of being far away.

It's always good to know if your pet needs any special care on a daily basis, such as measurements or some kind of restriction on something. So make this very clear with me and everything will be fine!
