Pet care experience

I <3 my furry friends

Best reason why I would say I love dogs are because they're loyal, loving, nonjudgmental and above all forgiving. Lifelong animal lover here. I have always had a couple of dogs in my household growing up. Nothing compares to a furry friend greeting you with a lick and a smile as soon as you step in the door...just the best company to have around. It's me and My husband that enjoy caring for pets. One of us is always home. We also like taking them to a dog park if they get along with other dogs.

I had such a great experience with my dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my husky and made sure I felt at ease the entire time. They kept me updated regularly, sending photos and little notes about how my pup was doing. I could tell my husky was happy and well-exercised when I got back. If you need someone reliable and caring, I highly recommend them!

Melissa was great with Leo! I had a busy weekend away at a tournament for my son & couldn’t check in as much but she made sure to communicate while caring for my little fur baby like her own! We’ll definitely utilize her again!

She was amazing and gave us consistent up to dates for our cat. She was easy to reach, very responsible and extremely helpful. We had to extend our trip due to a flight inconvenience and she happily helped us out by taking care of our kitty for an extra day. It means a lot when you have caretakers that go above and beyond.

We were so grateful for Melissa and her husband Tony. They took Bentley on several walks and kept me updated throughout his day daily. I received several pictures of Bentley during his stay. They also introduced Bentley to a new daily exercise bike riding that he enjoyed. I know Bentley is very active and is always seeking attention and both Melissa and Tony were great keeping him entertained. They are very very flexible and worked me during my flight issues with dropping Bentley off you guys are the best I would book with you guys over and over would highly recommend you to friends and family thanks for keeping my fur baby🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

It fits really well with my schedule since I get home early from work. While I'm at work my husband is home. So there will always be someone at home. Your dog will get 2 or 3 walks a day.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take dogs out for a walk. Not only are the dogs getting a exercise but I am also getting some exercise. I like to take them to the dog park if they can get along with other dogs. My husband likes taking them on a bike ride which is good for high energy dogs.

Let me know if your dog has any behavior I should know about. Do they like to grab towels from the kitchen. Are they good with other dogs? Will they be needing any medication? Is there anything I should know about?
