“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”


“Paige was amazing and I am so glad I booked with her. I had some flight complications due to weather and Paige was able to extend care and be flexible to check in on my little guy. I had daily photo updates and could see that he was very happy and cared for while I was away. Very appreciative of Paige and absolutely recommend her to others looking for reliable pet care.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

Mason M.
“I can’t recommend Mason highly enough when it comes to dog care. From the very first meeting, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals and understands their needs. My dog, who’s usually shy around new people, warmed up to him almost immediately—a true testament to Mason’s calm and caring nature. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just spending time keeping my pup company, Mason goes above and beyond. He’s reliable, communicative, and always treats my dog like his own. I never have to worry when my dog is in Mason’s care, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about dogs, Mason is the one!”
