“I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Kaitlyn. She was communicative, kept us up to date on the animals, sent pics, kept the house cleaner than I do, and the animals are relaxed and happy after our absence. It will be so much easier leaving them next time as long as we have Kaitlyn!”
“Maya was great! She kept me updated and my house was cleaner than when I left. My dogs seemed happy and relaxed the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend Maya!”
“She’s truly a five star sitter. Communicative during the sitting keeping me informed. Being back in the office is stressful, Ashley is a gem in making that happen.”
“Melinda was a life saver and was able to last minute accept taking care of our two dogs and cat when our other sitter had a family emergency to attend to. She asked all the right questions and kept me updated. I highly recommend Melinda as our babies were happy and well taken care of.”
“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.
“As we was traveling through this area we knew we wanted to do a couple things. Traveling with our fur baby aka Macy our Yorkie. We came across this app. We choose her because of her past reviews. She did an amazing job. While out she even updated with pics and videos. Thank you for loving our girl! Definitely recommend Abigail”
