2. Erin M.
“I had Erin help with drop ins while my 8 week old puppy got the hang of potty training while I was at work. She cared for the dogs, played with, gave snuggles and great report cards and pictures. She was punctual and very communicative and flexible if needed. I appreciated her professional manner and would hire her again. Highly recommend!”
3. Sheila C.
“Sheila was fabulous for a quick drop-in visit for our two golden retrievers! I contacted her a few hours before the visit and she responded immediately was more than willing to help out. She was on time, very communicative, and even sent pics while she was there. She updated me as she went and gave me a fabulous recap of the visit and reassured me that the house was locked when she left. She loved on the pups and was so kind. She was absolutely amazing, especially last minute having never been to our house before, and we would love to use her again!”

5. Bailey P.
About: My Name is Bailey and I absolutely love animals! My whole life is animals! I’m a professional dog groomer who’s worked her way up from the bottom. I started as a kid growing up having many dogs throughout the years and my mom often watched friends dogs. I got my first job working at a doggie daycare and I worked there for over 4 years! I eventually started to learn how to bathe and groom dogs! I’ve learned from many top groomers in my area as well as completing Petco’s pet stylist academy. I’ve now been grooming for 3 years and handling dogs professionally for 9 years!! I also board and have years of experience with horses. I have 7 horses, a donkey, 2 dogs, and 4 cats! When a dog comes to me for care you can expect them to spend ALOT of time outside with me and other dogs (if friendly, otherwise they will get 1 on 1 sessions with me 🙂). They will get a ton of desensitization to the farm life. First few sessions I like to leash dogs to keep them safe and help them learn boundaries. However most dogs learn quickly and generally hang out with the rest of the dogs/humans! I work very closely with a licensed dog trainer and have experience with most methods including ecollars and raw feeding. I’m pet CPR certified and have tons of experience with basic first aid techniques. I have many references and would be happy to provide those to you! Schedule a tour/walk through! I’m also more than happy to send photos and videos daily if requested! I prefer pets to be kennel trained but can possibly work around that. I have cats in the home but being cat friendly is not a must as I have space to separate! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I also offer nail trims and a variety of other pet grooming services! I’m free most days, I work part time as a dog groomer. My free time is usually spent caring for animals whether it be mine or clients! I always make sure to lock gates and doors behind me and leave everything as I found it. On walks I use two Leashes in case one fails. I carry cans of air and air horns in case of an off leash dog or a dog fight.
6. Kendra S.
“Kendra owns several of her own pets, and is sure to keep them healthy with visits to a specialized vet. She has always had a special love for dogs, and was seriously considering becoming an officer within a canine unit. Although she has decided that's not the best carrier choice for her, she still wants to be active in the lives of animals. Kendra has always been very mature for her age, and she is very responsible. She is punctual, and has a very upbeat and loving personality. Your fur babies will be in the best of hands with her.”
7. Michelle R.
“Michelle is a fantastic animal care taker. She watched a dog Benny who has high allergies and is allergic to almost everything. She feed bathed and medicated him and took him for walks She made him so happy. I would recommend her for everyone I know who has animals that need extra care when your on vacation or work.”
8. Ashleigh B.
“Ashleigh has grown up with pets all her life from dogs to goats to horses. I've known her for over 3 years and she always has the animal's best interest as a priority. I've seen first hand, her knowledge of raising dogs and horses and the ability to train them to be respectful and obedient. Ashleigh is a great candidate for this position because taking care of and training animals is second nature for her. She's also been the barn manager for 3 years, demonstrating organization and delegation, when applicable, for a multitude of job duties and coaching students to progress towards their own goals. I strongly recommend Ashleigh for this position.”
9. Sammy C.

My dog, nellie is now a couch potato nowadays but she is lavished with toys and treats lol she hates when dogs bark at her.

12. Tara C.
“Tara did a great job with the cats! Also she was flexible with us before we left to get things like our alarm system explained to make the whole process easy. Would book again!”
13. Case S.
“Case has watched our dogs for the past several years. My partner and I previously lived in Oklahoma and had 2 dogs at the time, both of which Case watched on several occasions. Our pups were always excited to see Case and well cared for during our time away. Most recently, we traveled back to OK for a family wedding and Case watched our dog during that time. Our dog has special dietary needs and Case was very conscientious and respectful of this. He is attentive, cautious, and responsible. Case clearly loves dogs and will make a great dog owner one day. Until then, let him love yours!”
