2. Amy F.
“Amy visited our house daily to feed and play with Tilly while we were out of town. She provided prompt and friendly communication and made sure everything she needed to care for Tilly was addressed.

3. Rebecca S.
“Rebecca just did several drop in visits with my cat, Jasper, over the weekend and he loved her! I could instantly see she was punctual, friendly and trustworthy and was a cat person– a rarity on this platform. She sent me photo updates via text, followed dosing instructions for his meds and played with him. I came back to a very well-adjusted cat, which is not always the case. Highly recommend! I will be using her services again.”

My experience is not limited to Dogs, I also have YEARS with Horses, Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks ect. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and create a bond with them.

My number 1 goal is to always provide your pet with a safe, stress-free, fun experience! I have dogs of my own and I know how stressful it can be to leave them with a pet-sitter for any length of time for both you and your pet. Which also means for daycare and boarding dogs they are not sitting in a crate the majority of the time. I care and treat everyone’s pets like my own. Depending on your pet and individual needs, energy levels I can and I will adapt to give your pets what it needs to be happy. Whether is going for a run or Hike, playing fetch, or a good ol’ fashion cuddle session I’m here for it!
