“If you want someone to love your dogs as much as you do, Jennifer and her mother are the right people to care for your pets. They are the absolute best at caring for your pups. While I went on 8 day vacation, they sent photos and kept me informed on everything. They cared for my home and all the packages that were delivered just before Christmas, as well. When I arrived home, my home was spotless and my to two pups were very happy. Don’t hesitate to use Jennifer and her mother they love your dogs as much as you do!!!”


2. Jennifer P.

“Jennifer was amazing! She was extremely efficient and responsive when it came to booking and the actual day of dog sitting. She was willing to take the time to come over ahead of time and meet the pups the day before. We were going to be gone all day for a day trip with our kids and needed someone to come and walk our German Shepherd and Yorkie and feed them dinner. She went over three times during the day and sent us pictures and videos during each visit. It was nice knowing they were in good hands as we are new to the area. We will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her!”

6. Connie P.

“There is not a person that I would trust more to watch and take care of my pets than Katie! She truly is an amazing person inside and out, and it shows with how much animals (including my dog and cat) love her!!

About: Your Pets are Part of My Family! With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, from frolicking puppies to dignified seniors, I've devoted my life to ensuring the health, happiness, and safety of pets. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently relied on my expertise to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving companionship for their furry loved ones. My unique skill set includes puppy training, senior care, and a special knack for easing anxious pets. With me, your pet isn't just another job - they're part of my family! Pet care is more than just a routine for me, it's a lifestyle. My day begins with a morning walk, setting a peaceful tone for both me and the pets in my care. Throughout the day, scheduled feedings, play times, and additional walks or outings are neatly integrated into my other daily activities, ensuring that no pet feels neglected or under-stimulated. I balance my personal commitments in a way that always allows ample time for the pets under my supervision. Weekly routines involve deeper engagements like grooming sessions, visits to the park, or more extensive exercises for pets that require it. Weekends often feature special activities, like hiking or beach visits, bringing a sense of adventure and extra enjoyment for the pets. In essence, pet care has become an inseparable aspect of my life's rhythm, creating a harmonious blend of responsibility, commitment, and above all, the immense joy of bonding with animals Whether in my home or my client's, I uphold the highest standards of care and attention for every pet under my supervision. For pets visiting my home, I ensure their comfort and safety first. I maintain a clean, pet-proof space, with various designated areas for eating, playing, and resting. Playtime and walks are plentiful, and I respect the dietary routines and restrictions provided by pet owners. I make sure each pet receives one-on-one attention, keeping a keen eye on their mood and health. In a client's home, I respect the pet's routine and the owner's space. I follow instructions for feeding, walking, and medications precisely, ensuring pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Extra services like bringing in mail or watering plants can also be arranged. I prioritize cleanliness and leave the home exactly as I found it. For both cases, I stay in frequent communication with the pet owners, providing updates and cute photos to keep them connected with their furry friends. The well-being and happiness of pets and their owners are my top priority


14. Tom L.

“Tom was the best and treated our 2 older kitty's like they were his own! I have pics of them eating, drinking, taking meds etc. I felt totally comfortable with this man taking care of my two prize furbabies.”


15. Brittany S.
“Every time we go out of town Brittany watches my pitbull and boxer, and she has always taken the best care of them! She lets them out plenty of times, plays with them, and she is even able to give my boxer her thyroid medication (not always the easiest task). She is extremely responsible and dog loving, I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pets watched.”
