Great cat sitting experience. Will try to use Nancy anytime she's available. My stand-off-ish cat warmed up quickly and I appreciate her care looking in on him!

I have known Nancy for many years and she is a true animal lover. She is a personal friend of mine and I would trust her with my own dogs with no hesitation. I have even witness first hand Nancy going out of her way in saving a puppy from starvation and then helping to find it a new home where it is happy and healthy to this day. Nancy is a person who would care for you pet just as much as you do!

Nancy is beyond great! She loves her fur babies, we left our 1year old German Shepherd with her for 4 days and he had the best time. She walked him 4 miles a day and has a great back yard for them to run. She even has a kiddy pool for the dogs to play in on hot days, she took him to the dog park we go to so he can play with all of his friends. Nancy made sure she updated us every day on Ruger and even sent us videos and pictures of him having a great time. He actually didn't want to leave when we went to pick him up bc he made a great friend in Nancy and her dogs Rue and Bear. We have only left him one other time, and this time we chose Nancy and it was the best decision ever. If your looking for someone who truly loves animals and cares about them, then give her a try! Your pup will be in great hands and have a wonderful time with her. I will definitely use her again when we need to go out of town. Thank you Nancy for taking such great care of our boy!

Nancy has been taking care of my two German Shepherds for years. I know when I leave the girls with her that they're in great hands. She takes them for daily walks and fun activities, they live in her house (and not in a crate) and they are treated like her own dogs. I even get picture updates when they're being especially cute. I've never boarded my girls in a facility. The idea of having them live in a run and only go out on a schedule makes me sad. I'll never have to worry about that, thanks to Nancy.
