Safety, trust & environment

I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

Jackie (Kirsten) was an excellent choice for our dog while we were on vacation. She was friendly and really a natural when interacting with our nervous dog. We felt confident that it was a good fit, and we were correct. Jackie communicated with us via email and sending photos daily. We came home to a happy dog. We plan on using her services in the future!

Kristen was an EXCELLENT choice for our dog! We came back to a very happy dog, clean house, dishes done and carpet vacuumed! Couldn't be more pleased. And we received a picture every day of Eeno having fun!

Jackie was so sweet with the our whole crew. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands. She left the house tidy as well.

Jackie was absolutely wonderful. She was lovely to meet. Very considerate of all my various requests and needs for our elderly pup. And super communicative while we were gone. I will absolutely book with her again!

I my experience of 3+ years, I have worked with all kinds of dogs. My repeat clients have dogs with high anxiety/separation anxiety, senior dogs who need meds and help getting around, and most recently a high energy dog where I spend hours happily walking him around the neighborhood while he investigates!
