“The dogs always love Nicholas. I trust him every time we have to go out of town. He is very communicative, sends pictures and let's me know if he has any concerns or questions. He is my go-to for dog sitters.”


“Janie was great. She loved on our fur babies and I knew right away we could trust her. Highly reliable, came when she was supposed to and communicated well. Would recommend!”


“Amanda is a top notch professional and kind hearted person who really loves animals. She was flexible for us when our plans changed due to some bad weather. She brought in our mail too. Which is absolutely going above and beyond. Our dog loves her too. Also, her communication was above and beyond. I can't say enough positive things about her. If you're looking for a professional yet down to earth animal lover Amanda is it. 100 out of 10.”

“Sean was absolutely amazing with our fur baby! He was punctual, he updated us on how Titan was feeling, and he sent us pictures of him every time he walked him. Sean was our first dog walker so we didn’t know what to expect, but he exceeded our expectations! I would book him in a heartbeat!”

About: I had previously stated in my profile, that I was called to animals since I was a little girl. I remember walking home from school and would gain the trust of a stray cat that followed me home. Animals of all species have been a staple in my childhood and adult home until this day. I am also a registered nurse whose specialty landed in senior care. I have a natural ability to connect with the elderly and understand the stage of life they are in and the psychology that comes with it. Through this, I have also been able to be a good advocate for my patients and their families. My husband and I currently have a senior cat that has cognitive decline that I was able to pick up on, as well as my suspicion of kidney disease. Through this knowledge, and with our vet, she is thriving now through patience and dedication.to her needs. This is not easy for us. But, she is our little girl. My nursing has also been an huge benefit to better serve and care for all of my little guys. Hamsters in my home have suffered all diseases from a stroke, cancer, kidney failure and heart failure etc. All of which received the best medical attention and best dedicated care until they crossed the rainbow bridge. I am grateful to see how my nursing has also enhanced my ability to better serve animals as well as humans. My heart is full of unconditional love and kindness. I am grateful to be of service to any walk of life. I have currently obtained a new nursing position within my expertise in senior care, allowing me the flexibility to work remote, since my journey moving forward needs to stay dedicated to serving animals, including my own. Our motto in this house is "these are our children, regardless of the size, they will be given the best life they deserve". We do have a fully fenced yard, though we currently do not have a dog. Any animal that comes in our care, will be treated the same as we treat our own. The cats, the chinchillas, and the hamsters can mingle amongst each other in our house. They actually each have a food bowl for each species side by side in the kitchen. The house is clean, the cages are clean and the environment is safe for any animal that enters. Time, dedication, discipline, love and patience exists in this house.

About: Hey my name is Brooklyn! I have been around pets my whole life and have been taking care of my own dog ever since I was 8. I am very lenient with pets, they are allowed on furniture and they won’t be penned up. I have my own car so I can take them on rides to the park or just rides in general! At this time I only do boarding in my home due to my work schedule! I currently just graduated college and work monday-thursday and am always free on the weekends, but i am always available to watch pups any time! We are very open to pets in our home, our pups lay on the couch and sleep in the bed. We do have a dog park in our complex and a lot of area for doing on walks!

“We love having Damian sit our cat! He’s detailed in his visit notes, kind, and friendly. He makes us feel assured she’s in good hands. She likes when he comes to visit and she’s always in good health and happy when we come back. Definitely recommend Damian’s services!”



“Christy was amazing and truly put my mind at ease about leaving my 9 year old miniature poodle Charley to go on vacation! This was the first time leaving my dog with a stranger as my previous dog sitter (a relative) had to cancel last minute. Upon first meeting, she could tell I was stressing out about leaving Charley because he has separation anxiety, but she seemed very compassionate and understanding and let me know he would be well taken care of. While on vacation, I started worrying about Charley and asked Christy if she would be willing to stay a little longer than her 30 minute visits and she did not hesitate to say yes! I am so thankful she was able to comfort him and keep him company to ease his anxiety. Her daily summaries were very detailed and lots of photos were taken. Christy was very personable and I could tell she really cared for Charley and wanted to make sure I didn't have to worry. I am so happy I chose Christy and sooo incredibly grateful she was there for my baby!”
