Pet care experience

Two Sitters for the Price of One!

Hi! Thanks for visiting our page! We’re Michelle and Christy, a wife duo, who both run this account and are here to take care of your pets so you can a stress free vacation/business trip/break! We have always talked about owning a farm and adopting every dog available but since we know that’s not possible right now, we figured we’d offer our services to take care of other pets. We know how hard it can be to find a pet sitter you can rely on and trust but we would like to be that for you. We treat our pups like family (because they are!) and your dogs will be no different. We don’t want you worrying when you’re on vacation or a business trip and will provide updates and photos as much as you’d like. We’ve taken care of dogs our entire life. We’ve had family pets and our own pets that we’ve walked, administered meds, fed, and cuddled.

MIchelle and Christy are great! We hate to leave our pups when we travel, but the pictures and updates we received were so reassuring. Their communication is excellent. We knew they were in good hands!
