“Adrianne was amazing! She communicated well and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our dog with her. Not only did she take great care of our puppy, she made sure our house was perfectly clean upon our arrival. I highly recommend booking with her and will be using her in the future!”


2. Shelly B.
“We have two labs, one of which needs medicine twice a day. Shelly did a great job making sure our dogs were happy and healthy while we were away. I’d hire her in a minute!”


3. Lauren Y.
“I hired Lauren to walk my skittish dog, and she did an amazing job. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and took the time to make my dog feel comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about animals and their well-being. I was impressed by her professionalism and the trust she built with my pet. Highly recommend Lauren if you’re looking for someone dependable and great with animals!”


4. Kat F.

“I can't thank Kat enough!! I had a unique situation, my cat that has diabetes and needs a shot every 12 hours. I have my mom to watch my animals but my little diabetic cat is a pill when I'm not the one giving her her shot, and it was getting more difficult for my mom to do it by herself. Kat literally saved the day!! I felt so much better that my mom had help to make sure she gets her shots! I will be booking her again for sure! Thank you again Kat for everything.”

About: I am a very experienced dog owner. I have had my oldest dog for 20 years. He sadly crossed the rainbow bridge But he had a long exciting life! He was always so happy! I only have 1 small dog now. She is about 8 years old! I love my dogs with a passion. I grew up with dogs all my life! dogs are family to me, like little 5 year olds running around!I enjoy different personality's from all different animals! It is very rewarding to me! I know how to approach animals in a way that is non-threatening to help reduce anxiety and help them relax.I love animals and have the skills and experience! I am very dependable. I will always show up on time! I am available anytime! Even if it’s last minute plans or something that has been in the works for a while now! . . . I currently live with my sister so who has a small puppy and I have an older adult small dog. I would be able to possibly babysit a small dog.

14. Melanie R.
“When I’m in need of someone to take care of my Daisy, Melanie is my go to pet sitter. My pup is a rescue and has some issues with certain things that scare her. Melanie’s compassion and patience with my Daisy is top notch. I appreciate that she makes sure my pup is always comfortable ( even if it means taking up half the bed!) and in a peaceful environment whenever we leave Daisy with her at her house. And when we had in home animal care, Melanie is very thoughtful not only in making sure our pets are well cared for but our place seems to look better than when we left it! I will always use Melanie for all my pet and or house sitting needs.”




15. Hannah M.
“Hannah grew up around Labs, Australian Shepherds and Pit Bulls. She has an innate ability to connect with each pet individually. She's also experienced with rescue animals, who's temperament can be unpredictable. I would trust her with any breed, large or small. She deeply cares and appreciates each pet for the personality they bring. Highest recommendation!”
