Pet care experience

Loving care when you're not there

I have had multiple dogs ever since I was born and love providing care for them. My grandparents also owned a dog kennel so have always been aware of proper exercise, care, and support for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Lastly, I am in school to become a nurse so caring for others is a passion of mine!

Best experience EVER! Laken is the most caring, thoughtful dog sitter we’ve ever had. Sent daily photos on where she took my dog and was super understanding when our A/C broke and it was 87°. I can’t wait to leave on another trip just so I can book her. She’s absolutely wonderful. Bonus points: I came home to a clean house, watered plants and a happy dog

Laken was extremely responsive, compassionate, and thorough in her care for our pup. Without any hesitation would recommend her and we will definitely have her sit for our dog again!

Laken's care of Barley was outstanding, as well as her communication prior, post and during her time with him in our home. She provided daily updates via messages and photos, showing that he was well exercised and well loved on! Her kind conscientiousness was obvious. It was blessing knowing that he was in such good care while we were away. She also did a few extra house-related tasks, which we so appreciated and she left our home very tidy and clean. We will most definitely ask her to care for Barley again in the future!

Lakes was amazing with Artemis! She was great at communicating with us and keeping us informed of how Artemis was doing. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be repeat client.
