“Natalie watched our 2 dogs and cat over Christmas and we could not have been more happy with the level of service she provided. This was the first time we were going to be away from them for a week and we were pretty nervous about how they were going to handle everything. But after meeting with Natalie before leaving, we knew they were in capable hands. We appreciated Natalie's attention to detail and going above and beyond what we could have ever expected. Her messages and amazing photo updates were a highlight of our day when we would see the notification pop up. It was very clear that she cared about our animals as if they were her own. Even being so amazing as to give them a toy as a Christmas gift and a card for us when we got back. We 100% recommend choosing Natalie to watch your fur children, and we are certainly going to be having her as our top choice when we need someone to watch our animals in the future.”
“Renée took such good care of all my babies! She sent lots of pictures and played with all of them at least a little. She even sent pics of our grouchy senior cat screaming for her food, as one does when you're a 13 year old cat. I was so happy with the care that Renée provided for both dogs and my gaggle of pocket pets as well! I've never felt better about having someone look in on my pets.”
“Breanne did a great job with a last minute drop-in request for my cat Moby. She was a very prompt communicator and to my surprise, was able to snap a photo of my stranger-shy kitty. I would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
“Ayana did a great job checking in on my kitty while I was gone for the weekend! She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos and was more than capable of handling my cat's craziness.”
“Did everything I asked of her on her visit and stayed much longer than she was required to. Look forward to using her services again”
“paige did a great job dropping in on my furbaby! she was always on time and my girl just loved her. will be using her in the future! 😊🐾”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, both my own and those of friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs requiring special care. Whether your pet needs help with potty training, medication administration, or just a lot of love and attention, I’m here to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them 🐕 At my home, your dog will enjoy supervised playtime in a secure, fenced yard, along with regular walks and plenty of opportunities to stay active. I pride myself on offering personalized care, ensuring your dog follows their usual routine and receives the attention they’re accustomed to. I tailor my approach to meet each dog's specific needs, and I’m committed to making sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away. I work from home and have very flexible hours. This allows me to easily adjust my schedule to match yours! I'm ready to help with boarding, walking, and drop-in visits any day of the week. When your pet stays with me, they'll have access to a fenced yard to run around and play without worry, I'll always go outside with them to supervise. We live in a quiet pet friendly neighborhood perfect for walks and there's also an open area and park right behind the house we can walk too! I have 3 dog-friendly cats in my home and 2 children that are respectful of animals. If needed I have playpens for puppies and a seperate area for our cats if your fur baby needs some space.
