Payson is an absolute gem! She is so caring, loving and attentive with our dog. You can clearly tell she loves dogs and all animals really. She provided lots of updates and pictures which we really appreciate. She even went above and beyond when our dog had an accident in the house too. I felt so comfortable with her taking care of our dog while we were away, especially with her background in vet care. We’re so glad we found Payson to help take care of our dog when we’re away!

With Payson being a Veterinarian Nurse and working in an animal hospital for over 10 years, I truly could not think of anybody more trusting that I would hire to watch my animals. She is very compassionate toward animals and treats each like they are one of her own. With her knowledge of vet medicine, if something were to go wrong while under her supervision, I am 100% confident she is prepared with the appropriate knowledge and care to take care of that animal in need. Payson is hard working and very considerate of not only the animal she would be watching, but the family she is watching it for as well. Payson is a great advocate and would be the best possible pet caregiver.

Schedule

I am currently working full time so drops ins/walks would be the best for my schedule. I will never rush a drop in and provide excellent care.

Please let me know if your pet needs medications to be given in advanced. I also need to know specific things about your pet, ie. “Not good with other dogs, not good on leashed walks, cannot have treats, is nervous with strangers” etc.
