Ashley has been great with Birks! From the meet and greet to her drop in visits, I have been totally satisfied! She sends me many updates on Birks and lots of photos during the visits. It has also been extremely easy setting up days/times and she gets back to me so quick. Will definitely rebook!!!

Shannon cares very much for the health and well-being of animals. She loves dogs and cats, and has taken in those who were in need. I think she would be excellent at caring for pets and treat those entrusted to her as if they were her own.

There are very few people I trust to sit my dog and Tracy is one of them. For years I have seen he care for animals of all different breeds, shapes and sizes and do so unfailingly with great care and attention to detail. I know that animals are her passion and she cares for each one as if they were her own. My dog has always returned from Tracy happy, healthy and loved.

Emma was amazing!!! My husband and I were out of the country for about a week and a half and our girl was in such amazing hands! It was very reassuring we didn’t have to worry about anything with her there and our cat was so happy and loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone! 😊

About: I've had a variety of different types of pets around me my whole life. I have loved and cared for every one of them. I have trained my own dog and have taken care of many senior dogs until their passing. I'm currently working a part-time job, I have plenty of time during the afternoon and evenings to play and care for your pets. I'm available any day of the weekday after 12 and all day on the weekends. I have a partially fenced in yard, and one loving dog and two laid back cats, to keep your pet company. I have plenty of toys and treats to keep your animals happy.

Jessa went over and beyond what I expected for my fur babies. She is in general such a sweet person and was thoughtful in getting to know how my cats needed to be cared for. She is a great communicator and I could tell through her check-ins that the cats were genuinely comfortable around her. When I got back I could tell they weren’t overly anxious which is something I’ve been working on with my littlest one. I will definitely get in touch with Jessa again anytime I am going out of town. Thanks sm!

MaKenzie did a great job taking care of my two cats! She was right on time, made sure they were fed and litter boxes cleaned and even managed to get my skittish boy to come out from hiding and get some attention. I love the updates and photos after each visit. Really put me at ease while I was away!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have always been passionate about them since I was a kid. I wanting to be a vet when I grew up but life took a different turn and I settled on being a veterinary assistant. I continue to learn daily about their food, exercise and energy needs to be healthy, happy, content pets. I am blessed to make a living doing what I love and helping animals to be at their best! I currently have 4 dogs and 5 cats and besides my 2 grown kids and 2 grandkids they are the loves of my life!! I hope one day to be able to have a senior sanctuary for pets in my home to provide a safe loving atmosphere to seniors in their last years. I currently work 10 hour days , 4 days a week and mostly have weekends off. I can accommodate weekday evenings check ins and walks and anytime on weekends. I can come to your home and follow a specific guideline that you have scheduled for your pet. I understand how pets get accustomed to a certain routine and come to look forward to and expect scheduled playtime, meals and treats. I also know how they can get lonely while their people are away and just want some attention and cuddle time.
