“Makenzie watched my two cats for a week last month, and I can definitely say that the next time I go out of town, I will be requesting Makenzie! She was so sweet and the cats loved her. She always made sure they were engaged and well fed. She would send me pictures of them throughout the week to show me how they’re doing! Makenzie is amazing I highly recommend!”

4. Vanessa B.
“Vanessa loves all different types of dogs! She is so sweet to our dog Bear. She can handle all sizes of dogs on her own. Her backyard is spacious with a fenced pool. My fiance likes to play around with Bear and run wild in the backyard, which makes Bear feel like he is so happy there. Her small dog, Mickey easily got along with other dogs but he can be pretty protective of himself around bigger dogs! My dog is pretty big and slightly rough at horseplay. Mickey knows how to be careful around them, he's pretty smart.”

12. Ned H.
About: I’ve been working with pets since around the age of 5 and that was mainly dogs. I at one point wanted to be a veterinarian so I have acquired some great skills in pet care and also some knowledge in medical care as well. I have, and still am working with dogs large and small so any dog is not an issue. The same with cats as well. If it is any help as well I have worked with the typical animals you see on farms too. I am a college student home for the summer therefore I have a wide open schedule to care for pets. I already have pets of my own to care for so I am already in a mode of pet care. And taking care of yours should be a piece of cake! At our home, your pet will be cared for indoors and any exercise needed is not an issue to be taken care of indoors out outdoors. We have a low traffic home so a stay here will almost feel like a quick vacation for your pet.
