Amanda was amazing! She gave our dog such good care and sent us plenty of photos and updates on everything they did. She went above and beyond taking our dog for walks and letting her get lots of sniffs out and about!

Sophia is amazing!! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Oreo. Oreo is a loving cat also and looked forward to Sophia’s daily visits. He would start meowing before she could even open the door. She cleaned up his litter that he tracked through the house and ensured he got a full 30 minutes of playtime. She also checked that he had fresh water daily. I would definitely use her again if I’m out of town.

AJ is like a cat whisperer! He is compassionate, professional, and highly communicative with all creatures of our home. We are always comforted in travel knowing we can safely and reliably leave our kitties and their medication needs in AJ’s care.

Steph was an awesome drop in sitter for our dog Max. We highly recommend her because she was able to become buddies with our very active highly protective dog Australian Shepard cattle dog! She was telling the truth when she called herself the dog whisperer! She showed up on time and usually stayed longer than her 30 minutes which was great with us! She sent notes and pictures after every visit which allowed us to relax and not worry about Max! Thanks to Steph!!! We will definitely call on her again!

Cynthia was quick to respond and able to work us into her schedule with our last minute requests. She didn’t hesitate to ask any questions if she was unsure of something - which I appreciate greatly. She was kind and gentle with the boys during our meet & greet and she clearly took great care of them during their visits. My older dog takes time getting used to people and it was obvious she was respectful of that with him. I will happily be booking her again!

About: I have some training experience Over 5yrs experience Dogs of all shapes and sizes Personalized care My longest running client is a Pitbull named Bear who, when i first met him would be very anxious on walks. Through years of working with him he's now a much more confident walker. So please believe me when I say I love dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I did recently start working in the area. I'm still very new to the area. I can usually accommodate upon requests. More so if scheduled in advance. Within my over 5 yrs experience caring for puppers I have cared for them at both my house and at my client's house. I have always maintained a clean environment, personalized care in that I will maintain your rules concerning your dog. Above ALL else I MUST maintain trust with my clients. If you or your dog don't trust me then I can't do my job and worse yet it's usually the dog that suffers in the long run.

Fabulous caretaker. I have a very shy cat. Shelby never sees him but Lester sure comes out for his treat as soon as Shelby leaves. I never worry about Lester as I get a picture daily and all chores are complete.

Sophia has cat sat for me twice now, and she’s been wonderful both times. She is very communicative, attentive, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she watches. She took great care of my cats, followed their specific food needs carefully, and made sure to spend time playing with them as well. I always felt updated and reassured while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!

She was amazing! Rachel D. took care of my three cats over the weekend and did an outstanding job. From the very beginning, she proved to be responsible, attentive, and very caring with them. She kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. I would also like to highlight her professionalism, as even when I made a mistake in some of the instructions, she handled the situation perfectly and made sure my cats were well taken care of at all times. On top of that, she even helped me by bringing in some Amazon packages that were left outside, which I really appreciated. She definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s clear that she truly cares about animals and their well-being. I would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommended!
