“We were very happy with Kayla. She followed our instructions for house sitting and accomplished everything we needed. Our home was neat and clean upon our return and she did a good job of watering our flowers. Most importantly, our pup like her right away. Kayla took her on walks and the neighbors that she ran into thought she was nice, polite, and taking good care of our pup. We received photos from Kayla every day and in them, our pup seemed relaxed which was reassuring. We will definitely use her again.”

“Kat is amazing. She truly cares for the animals she watches. We have a 2yo golden retriever (very energetic and pushes boundaries). Kat worked so well with her! She trained Ellie while also showing her lots of love and affection. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our girl. Thank you, Kat!”
“Sidney was absolutely amazing!! It was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease the moment we met for a little meet-and-greet with our crew. She sent videos and pictures everyday which we absolutely loved. We had two dogs and a cat, all with their own special quirks, and Sidney was so great with all three. Our vacation was stress-free knowing she was there and she left the house in perfect order for when we returned. We can’t recommend her enough (in fact, we bragged about her to the family our entire trip 😂) and will absolutely be booking her again.”

I do not offer care in my home as I am limited on space and have my own pets. I will take excellent care of your pets and make sure they need for nothing.
