This has been ongoing for approximately the past 4 years. * Melinda and I extensively clean and disinfect our house not only before and after each dog but also on a regular basis as well. We are excited to be part of your dog care needs and you can be sure your pets will be well taken care of with us as a smooth transition.

Amethyst P.
“Amethyst is the best pet sitter I have ever had watch my fur babies. She is patient and kind with all animals, and she truly loves animals. Her knowledge about ALL different types of pets is astounding, but that's because her studies focus around becoming a veterinarian. If you are looking for excellent care for any of your pets look no further!”
Gracelynn S.
“Grace is reliable, compassionate, and treats your pet like her own. She is willing to accommodate a variety of schedule needs, works well with cats and dogs (both big and small), and adheres to any specifications requested. Knowing your pet's food, water, potty breaks, exercise, etc. needs are being met is something a lot of places offer. Knowing your fur babies are being shown genuine love, attention, and companionship by a reliable and trustworthy caregiver is what sets Grace apart.”

Dennis C.
“Dennis and his wife watched my sweet yet sometimes explosive 2 year old lab mix on a weekend where I was injured and unable to provide her with much activity. They took her on walks at a local park, had a comfortable bed available, and a large cache of toys for her to play with. She warmed up quickly and had a great time. I'm definitely planning on having her stay with Dennis again. Highly recommended!”
