“Patrick was great to work with! He took great care of our dog and cats while we were out of town. We set up some walks with my dog so she could get comfortable with him. He responded quickly to check-ins and any questions we had!! We’ll be using him again for sure!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Lauren. She provided the BEST care for my old Great Pyrenees and made my week away from her peaceful due to her multiple daily updates (where I knew my pup was being taken care of & being loved). Lauren is communicative, kind, obviously incredibly knowledgeable of animal care, diligent, and truly treats your animals & home like they are hers. I will 100% be using Lauren again and I couldn’t be more glad to have found her!”

“Alyssa was absolutely a God send. She was incredible with our two kitties that we never left before. She was very thorough and detail oriented. Also she sent regular pictures and videos and messages. Anytime I reached out to her she was very quick to respond. She was the only person that our kitties actually went up to the first time they met her. They are always reserved and shy and actually run and hide from any visitors...even my parents that have been here several times took them several visits to get used to. Animals can sense a good hearted, caring person when they meet one. We will absolutely be using Alyssa on a regular basis. I know it can't be easy to trust someone you don't know staying at your house for several days but as soon as I met Alyssa, I was instantly comfortable and trusting of her. One word to describe her: PERFECT. :-)”
“From the first time I met with Lisa for our meet and greet, we knew our dog would be in good hands. She was so sweet with our dog. She has great communication skills and we were not worried. She took him on walks and cuddled with him. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”

“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! She actually spent time hanging out with my dogs when house sitting. Jennifer even came back over to check on dogs when flight got in late. I will use her again! Thank you!”
“Lauryn is fantastic! She just stayed with my baby for the second time for the weekend. They love her and it feels so good knowing Ginger is happy at him instead of boarding! I’ll have her every time I go away !”

“Karolina was super responsive and very great with Darwin and my house for the week while I was at a work conference. Darwin can’t wait for my next work trip so he can hang out with her again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received while we were away! Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure they were well-loved, exercised, and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which made our time away even more enjoyable. When we returned, our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: I am very good at reading animals body language and can adjust for their needs. I have had animals all my life and truly love their ways of interacting with the world. I am good at keeping my energy up for dogs who like to be active and playful. I am an artist who has a flexible schedule and have room to fit caregiving into many different times in my life. The morning time is perfect for me to spend time outside with the animals! I take care of my cat at home, changing litter and food consistently and insuring she has lots of love. I take care of my family’s pets off and on. Walking, feeding, and caring for many dogs as well as watching my friends cats on various occasions.
“Hope is outstanding!! She was our Archie’s instant pal! She sent us pictures every day, sent brief little rundowns of their day, just perfect! We will definitely use Hope over and over!!”

“Steven was wonderful with Henry! He took the time to make Henry feel safe and comfortable around someone new. Steven asked great questions and took things slow until Henry was ready. Steven clearly has a love and passion for all animals! We can’t wait to have Steven come back again.”
