Anne is awesome, we’ve only had our pooch for about 6 weeks and she’s a rescue so we were a little nervous to leave her so soon. However. Anne, came into our home and gently eased her way into our Maggie’s life, and very shortly Maggie was going on walks and loving being snuggled by Anne. She kept us updated frequently thru text and sent many photos Our home was just as we left it. And Maggie looked good and was happy I would highly recommend and will use her in the future

When you leave your pets with Hayley you can rest assured that they are receiving the same level of love and care that they are used to. Hayley is passionate about animals. She understands their unique needs and bonds with them in their own time. We have a young boxer who had a very difficult life before we adopted him. He has behavioral scars that my never heal and he's very nervous around strangers. On day 2 we got a message from Hayley that he was in full on snuggle mode...a miracle! Don't hesitate to leave your fur babies with Hayley. She's compassionate and a true animal lover - the real deal!

About: Here’s a polished and professional version that still feels warm and genuine: > I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since childhood, and over the past few years, I’ve turned that lifelong passion into a professional pursuit. I currently share my home with one dog and three cats — they’re an important part of my family, and I couldn’t imagine life without them. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I have own dog of my own and 3 cats who all require lots of love and attention! When caring for pets in their home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — to help them feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to every detail, from cleaning up after them to keeping their space tidy and their water fresh. Whether it’s administering medication, maintaining special diets, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Holly has pet sit for us on several occasions now. She’s always so communicative and attentive, and our pets love her! We can always leave town with full confidence that our pets are so loved and cared for when Holly is around— she’s so patient and thorough with our elderly dog and all of his supplements in particular.

Jasmine was very caring to my baby kitties. She regularly sent us updates on how they're doing and what they're doing. My kitties are shy and Jazmine was patient and gave them time to get accustomed to her. After they opened up to her, the kitties loved rubbing up to her and eventually cuddling with her. She also left my house as clean as it was when I left. I'm so glad I found Jazmine. Now I know who to book next time. 😊

Rachel was great with our two puppies. They hung out and I didn’t have to worry about them barking every 5 seconds when they would hear a random noise. She sent photos often. I look forward to using her again.

Christina was GREAT!! She was great with my little guy Otis. I was traveling for 3 weeks and never felt concerned as I knew he was in good hands, getting all the love and cuddles he needed. She was great at communicating too... sending short videos and cute photos. Would highly recommend to anyone who is hesitant to leave their fur baby home alone.

Joel is an excellent dog sitter! My dogs are my family and I usually worry about them when I'm away from home, but I feel totally at ease when Joel is with them. He takes consistent, thoughtful care of them, and it's clear in the pictures he takes that the dogs are having a blast.

About: Growing up there was always a wagging tail, fur everywhere, and a pile of toys in my house—and I didn't mind. To me, home has always meant a thousand kisses, cuddles and belly scratches. I truly love being around dogs no matter how big or small! (I grew up with a Sheltie, Golden Retriever, and Chihuahua so I'm comfortable adjusting to different energy levels and routines.) I know how special your dog is and I would love to help care for them they way you would! No more worries while you're away. 🐾 Pet care fits really well into my routine right now. I currently have a lot of open availability and flexibility. I'm able to able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and giving pets consistent attention. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, & loved so you can count on me to follow your instructions closely when it comes to meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and house rules. I also pay attention to making sure doors are closed, leashes are secure, or your pet isn't getting into anything they shouldn't. I want them to feel settled and at ease. I'm big on communication so I'll send regular check ins and pictures so you never have to wonder how things are going. I know every pet is different so I try to be kind and adaptable and meet them where they're at so they can adjust to the unfamiliar. I also know it takes a lot of trust to leave your pet with someone new. I take pride in taking some of the stress off your shoulders by making sure your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. :)
