About: Had several dogs from all ages and sizes. Grew up in a farm, I love cats too. Will make sure your paw friend is taken care of ! Classes are mostly in the morning and my job is remote so I am pretty flexible. Weekends are mostly focused for homework but are also done remotely. Pets have boundaries too! They deserve respect, while home sitting I live next to wolf pen creek park which allows me to walk the pet in a well and comfortable space.

“Victoria was just perfect! From the moment she was introduced to my dogs, it was a match made in heaven. She is such a caring and wonderful person. My dogs were so well taken care of by Victoria. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter/house sitter. She is a responsible and trustworthy individual who truly loves animals. My dogs were so calm when I came home from my trip. It was obvious that Victoria took good care of my doggies. It is so hard to find someone like Victoria and I am sure glad my family did. So grateful”


“Meagan did a great job pet sitting in our home over the Christmas holiday! We were very happy with how well she cared for our two dogs and how promptly she communicated with me. She was very good about replying to my texts or phone calls and she sent us updates and photos of our pets. She also left our home exactly how we left it. It was great to be able to leave town and know our dogs were safe and happy in the comfort of their own home. We would definitly use her again in the future!”


“Jenna provided exceptional care for our four dogs, which include a German Shepard, Belgian Malinois, Border Collie, and a Maltese in our home to include overnight care. Her communication skills were top-notch, as she kept us constantly updated with photos and updates throughout her time with our dogs. With her reliable and attentive approach, I felt at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. I recommend Jenna to anyone in need of pet care service. We are grateful for her excellent service, and look forward to booking her again in the future.”


About: I have grown up with pets ny entire life. Born into a house who already had cats and dogs, nothing is an issue for me. I have taken care of friends pets when they go out of town as well and can handle small to large dogs without much issue. I have taken care of a paralyzed cat and know how to express bladders. I can bathe your pets, play with them, feed them, give them all of their needs and wants in an exceptional way. I also have experience caring for snakes and bearded dragons after working at an animal sanctuary over the summer. I currently work part time only so there's plenty of time during the weekdays for me to care for your pets. On the weekends I work, but have time in the mornings and evenings to check in on your pets. When caring for your pets, I will make sure to clean up after whatever mess they may have made while gone or put them in their kennel if they are trained for that. If you have a fenced yard, I will give them time to run and play outside too. Walks are a given unless instructed otherwise.
