“Thanks Susanne for taking such great care of our dogs. I loved receiving photos and notes on how they were doing. I would 100% contact Susanne again when we go out of town and our dogs need a sitter.”

“Caleb was great to work with. He was really good at communicating with us. Our kids were anxious to leave our dog (7 yrs old), who has never been left with anyone other than family. Caleb helped ease their fears. He took Diesel on some great outings (to the lake, pond)! He sent us so many pictures during diesels 2 day stay. He was great at keeping us updated!”

About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace
“Hayley was super-attentive and it was always very obvious that she loves taking care of the kitties and chickens. I would definitely recommend her and would ask her for her services again in the future.”

“Maritza was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and our home. She even came back late on the last day to make sure the dogs were fed when our flight was running late. We highly recommend her and hope she’s available to watch our dogs in the future.”
