“Chloe was great - she sent very detailed messages and pics each day and the cats really seemed to like her. We came home and they acted like we hadn't even been gone (because Chloe took such good care of them). Chloe was lovely and we'd definitely use her again in future!”


“Glendon was absolutely amazing with my two fur-babies! My boy doesn't warm up quickly to people but I can tell by the video and picture Glendon sent that Copper was a huge fan too! Excellent communication, timely and very attentive to any requests/special needs of my pups! Highly recommend and will be using him again!”


About: I grew up with both dogs, cats and rabbits. I’ve cared for various other mammals throughout my life. I have experience with senior and sick animals as well. I house sat for many neighbors and their various pets over the years. I also have worked in animal clinics and laboratory environments as I originally intended on becoming a veterinarian. Working on getting my animal health and behavior degree. I currently work a very flexible job from home which takes up less than 20 hours a week so I have plenty time to spend with your pets. I have always loved all animals. I currently live with 3 cats our rental doesn’t allow dogs. I will have plenty time for pets, walks and playing outside in the safety and comfort of your pets home. I strive to make transitions for your pet as stress free as possible.

“What a relief it was to have Taylor looking after our puppy. I got a detailed update every time she went over. My puppy had playtime, snuggle time and belly rubs. We will definitely be using Taylor again. ❤️”


“Constance went WAY above and beyond for my fosters! She was patient and stayed over her time with Amelia who is a bit skiddish and reserved to help her get more comfortable. THEN!! Asked if she could help me pooper scoop!! I'm keeping her for all things dogs. Even offered her services at home with her dogs to help socialize my puppies!!! If there were 10 stars she would get them all.”


“Jessica was amazing! I am a new “dog mom,” to my 10 week old puppy! I reached out to Jessica to check on him during the day while I was at work. This was the first day he had been left alone since I picked him up at 8 weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to check on him! She had amazing communication throughout the entire day and was incredibly flexible when I needed to change some plans at the end of the day! I felt much better being at work with Jessica looking after him! She made the whole process easy and relieved a lot of stress and worry I had! Highly recommend!”


About: I have always had dogs in my life, and I currently have 3 of my own. I worked in veterinary emergency and critical care for 2 years and spent several months at a fear-free general practice before needing to take a step back from vetmed. I have 6 years of personal experience with dog training and behavior, and spent some time volunteering for a rescue on the administrative end. I am very knowledgeable on dog behavior/body language and I am comfortable working with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and breeds. Puppies, medical/behavioral needs pups, and seniors are my specialty! I am also RECOVER CPR certified. My schedule is wide open most days, and we are a very active family! We frequently go for hikes and spend time with our dogs in nature. My whole world revolves around animals and I love being able to experience the great outdoors with dogs. I use reward-based/force-free handling techniques with any dog I interact with. I try my hardest to set dogs up for success in my interactions with them - I am not afraid to spend as much time as needed to gain the trust of a fearful dog before attempting to interact directly. I am a strong believer in using body language, reward, and moving at the dog's pace to ensure dogs make good choices and have a positive experience every time they interact with me. I treat all pets I interact with as if they are my own!
