Dogs Are The Best People

I have owned and cared for many, many dogs over the years (also cats, a bird, fish, hamsters, turtles). I LOVE animals! I have cared for a very sick dog while her owner was out of the country. No one wants that to happen but I am dedicated to the care of all animals as if they were my own children. I understand each animals unique personality and needs. I love hiking and walking and there are no better companions than dogs. My first priority is keeping your pet safe, second is their happiness! I understand that having their owners away can be stressful so they need lots of love and exercise. I won't be walking multiple dogs so that I can give enough attention to each individual dog.

Nora is amazing! She really got our Taz out of her shell and comfortable. She gave steady updates and made sure Taz felt loved and cared for while we were gone. Taz is my baby, so leaving her with anyone is really hard. But Nora made us feel so comfortable and confident with the care Taz would receive, that I even forgot to text her one day! 😅 We will definitely be using her services again.

Nora was great. She showed up on time. Took great care of Loke and the house. She set up dates of how everything was going. Definitely would recommend Nora to watch your baby. Definitely will use her again.

Nora is wonderful and we highly recommend her.  We needed to go out of town on rather short notice just before Christmas and it was a huge relief when we found Nora.  She stayed at our house and took wonderful care of our older, needs-a-lot-of-attention dog, our difficult, anxiety-filled younger dog, and our cats.  She was super responsive to communication and she sent updates with pics while we were away.  Of course, our fur babies were all happy and healthy when we returned.  It was such a relief to know that Nora was taking care of everything back home while we were away.

Nora stayed with our senior dog while we were away for 5 days. Our dog had recently been ill and she has some ongoing problems. Nora contacted us when she had a concern/questions and that was great. Upon our return, our Dog was happy and healthy. Nora was easy to work with and I never worried. She really was great with our dog.

What a wonderful pet sitter. All three family members were happy and well cared for upon my return. Everything was tidy and clean. Nora did above what I expected, and I’ll definitely book her again for our fur babies care!

Nora was a very good pet sitter/house sitter. She showed up in a timely fashion and we got daily updates on our old guy. He can be somewhat of a challenge. They went for daily walks and played as much as he could handle at age 14. Nora took good care of the house as well; She watered my outdoor and indoor plants and kept everything ship shape. Nora is very personable and I found it easy to connect to her. I will definitely use her again when I need to.
