“Felicitas was absolutely amazing! We needed a sitter last minute to check in on our dog while out of town, and she was very accommodating. She sent us lots of videos during each check in visit, and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. Our golden doodle Benny absolutely loved her and we will definitely book with her again :)”
“Joselyn was excellent. I have a very old 16.5yr old dog and she could not have been more attentive and patient. She leaves very detailed notes about the visits and goes above and beyond. We are thrilled to finally have found a sitter we can trust and will definitely book her in the future.”
“Don’t hesitate to book with Ben, he was very attentive and respectful with me and Kaine. He kept me updated through out the week and accepted my booking last minute.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know Kaine and being patient with him.”

About: I mostly took care of the senior dogs and helped giving them all there medicine and making sure they are ok. But also took care of puppies and adult dogs too Right know I do have a job that’s part time so I’m only available on day that I’m off which is Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday but I am always willing to figure out what works for you My parents taught me if it’s not yours don’t touch it and be respectful in someone’s else’s house. But I’m a loving person that has a big heart for dogs
About: I’ve grown up around animals all my life. I’ve had dogs in the home, turtles, guinea pigs, pet pigs you name it. I love them all so much! I have one cat of my own. He is very sweet and playful and don’t mind being around friendly dogs. He is very curious of other cats and not aggressive. I typically scoop litter twice a day or more as needed to ensure the litter box stays clean and appealing to the cats. Dogs can be walked in my area or on specified routes as i’m pretty flexible. When it comes to play time, I enjoy keeping cats engaged and can tire out high energy kitties to make sure they are getting enough attention and stimulation. My goal is to ease your anxiety knowing your loved one is safe and cared for while you’re away. If you need anything clarification or something specific please fell free to reach out! I do work full time from 8am-5pm near my home. All services are available everyday. For drop in, I am available before 8 and after 5. I have a spacious loft apartment in a community that has dog walking areas. I have one cat. Your pet must be friendly with cats and not aggressive.
About: Give your friend the best care possible. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and enjoy all the different personalities. Your pet will have a house with a large yard to play in all day. I’ve had all different types of dogs (labs, German Shepherds, Dobermans, Pitbulls, Yorkies. I currently have one 6 year old cat. Our last dog passed away this past August. I do all my own training and can assist and give you guidance if you need help in certain areas with your dog. I volunteered with a cat rescue in California and helped with many special needs. Together we will play and tire out your furry friend. A tired dog is a happy dog. We look forward to being able to assist you with your pet care needs. Hope to see you soon! Wife is always homes. Which makes our availability pretty flexible. We have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. I’ve always enjoyed working with animals. As an animal owner, I understand the level of peace it brings knowing your pet is properly being taken care of. Have a very large fully fenced grass yard with plenty of room to run and play. Quiet neighborhood with low traffic to make for nice walks.
“Noel is very professional, reliable, and I always have full confidence in leaving my two kitties in her hands. She goes above and beyond what is asked every time she visits. It is very obvious from the moment you meet her that she is passionate about animals and will give your pet the best care you could ask for when you’re away. I have complete trust in her when I am away, which is very reassuring and affords me much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to look after your furry friends.”
