Pet care experience

Native Austinite who LOVES Animals!

Ever since I was a kid I have always felt like I have been in tune with animals. I always had 2 dogs and a cat or 2 cats and a dog growing up. As an adult I have volunteered at Animal sanctuaries and shelters. I donate to these institutions regularly. I don’t ever remember (nor do I ever want to), have a a time in my life where I don’t have a fur baby! They enrich your life so much! I have rescued ALL my fur babies! They are my kids! My world! I just rescued a 10 month old kitten who is more like a dog than a cat, IMO. So, If I become your sitter, I will treat your pets as if they were my own!

Shannon did a great job caring for Remy while I was away on my trip. She kept me updated, checked in, and made the whole process smooth and reassuring. I appreciated her communication and the care she gave Remy during the stay. Thank you again for taking good care of her.

This woman canceled on a confirmed reservation same day when she knew I was flying internationally, because I asked her if she would consider doing a weekly rate. I get being annoyed, but it's just a question and I was respectful about it. When she said no, I was like OK, that's fine, but she was so bent about it that she told me to come pick up my dogs stuff because it wasn't t a fit (we did 3 night board before, and I picked him up in between). Not a happy person and my dog didn't have a good experience. I would recommend other sitters.
