1. Melissa R.


“Melissa is great and really helped me out on the fly when something came up with my scheduled sitter. It's obvious that she loves animals and does an awesome job taking care of them!”




2. Cher D.

“Cher was a lifesaver in taking care of our cat, Princess over the holidays. She was quick to respond, accommodating, honest and kind. As stressful as it is for pet owners to leave their fur babies at home while on vacation, it is even more stressful on our pets. Cher's daily visit helped diminish that stress on our cat and us! We happily could tell that Princess was well taken care of when we returned home and would not hesitate to have Cher take care of our little lady again. Thank you, Cher!”

About: I've always had a dog growing up that I loved and cared for. When I turned 16, I started dog sitting and walking. I have cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I do work full time Tuesday to Friday. So I'm mostly available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I may be available on other days too if you reach out to me with more details (approximate location of your home and/or how often your dog would need to be let out). I am extremely responsible and I have been trusted by many people to take care of their dogs. I can do drop in visits and sitting at your home.
