“I needed a special day care/boarding home for my young, tri-pawed dog. The first visit was a day care trial where my dog and Lisa's family and dog were able to really interact to see if this was a good fit. Very professional, patient and works well with my dog. Now, I know where I will be boarding her when I travel. Thank you.”

About: I have Jury Duty for March to May. If you are a regular, please contact me directly and I will cover what I can. BONDED/INSURED and I guarantee my behavior in your home!!! Please check with any of my other clients. I love being video taped!!! Your home is just as safe as your pets! I’ve been the go-to girl for pet care in my extended family, friends, neighbors and even within my church for decades. I’ve helped puppies being born and taken care of seniors who needed medication. I work from home and set my own schedule so your pet can have my complete attention. For walks, I do the route most comfortable with your dog and I always pickup droppings and put into outdoor containers. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. Puppies can use me for mountain climbing and senior dogs find me a restful friend. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. Please be aware I am working with a puppy daily for the next 3 months. If you are a regular customer, I will try and work you in for drop-ins or walks but I’m am very limited on what I can do. Please contact me if need me before May 1 when he will be out off puppy quarantine. Also, if you have any tentative travel plans this year, please let me know as soon as possible. I hate turning people down but I already have bookings in September and November. I will be glad to block out dates while you firm up your plans if I have work with you and your pets at other times. Thank you!😊 My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a ***3 MILE radius of CEDAR LANE*** - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. I only take 3 drop-ins a day and 2 walks so my schedule is limited, I will book as far as 12 MONTHS in advance if you need me. Or I can stop by this afternoon if you need a surprise visit. I work my schedule around your pets. I work around CNU, Sedgefield, Hilton Village and Riverside. If you are not sure, please drop me a message and I will get back to you promptly. If you have any questions, give me a call or drop me a text in advance and we can schedule a meet'n'greet. You are not the only one who must be comfortable with me. Thank you. This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy and a privilege. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My sleep-in day is Monday if I do not have furry friends to visit so if I'm slow to answer, its because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. For pets who stay with me, I have a large, fenced back yard as well as being backed up to the Nolan Trail for animals who need extra space. I have a private room available for pets who needs to visit me but doesn't want to spend time with the rest of my family. I'm always willing to do drop ins and walks. I love doing overnight stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling.

15. Erica C.
About: I currently have no dogs. I had a golden mix for over 7 years until she passed. I purchased a PBGB as a puppy and had him for close to 3 years. I rehomed him because I couldn't give him the attention he deserved. I absolutely love dogs and I miss the companionship of dogs. I do have a grand dog who I babysit for occasionally. He is a Pomapoo and he loves to run around my yard and we cuddle and watch TV. People were surprised that I rehome my dog Jeebs because I loved him so much. I work remotely.90% of the time so if there is a need for care during the week. I am definitely available on the weekends and I will have a week off during the holidays . I have a fenced in back yard. My home is small but they will be comfortable.I live near the water so they will get plenty of exercise .I will make it a point to take them out for fresh air. I will make sure I have a kennel available if necessary and I will follow any nutrition concerns your dog may have.

“Chrystal was absolutely amazing. Outside out taking wonderful care of my puppy and family member, she asked questions before I arrived to make sure she was prepared for the pup and she keep me updated on the pup throughout the day so I never had to worry about a thing. As a first time pet owner, I would recommend her a thousand times.”

“Steven took really good care of my babies, this was my first time ever using the app for myself and I’m glad I decided to pick him!”


19. Kripa A.
“Kripa is the most loving, gentle, kind, happy woman - mother. I witness her being the best most nurturing mother to her 1 year old daughter and to her entire fur family. Before birthing her own child she was always a cat & dog mom. She takes care of a farm with all the cuties including chickens. She can go above & beyond for your pet with administering medication if needed, etc. Your ohana will feel safe & happy in her presence. The peace of mind you’ll get with having Kripa care for your fur babies is priceless.”
