“Tracy is the best! We are new to the area and he was kind of enough to stop by before the scheduled visit to say hello and to meet the dogs. They absolutely loved him and his communication was great!”
2. Edmy N.
“Once again, Edmy and Craig went above and beyond the call of duty. They were able to check in on my two kitties at the last minute and even made sure all of my flower baskets on the back porch were watered. When there was a thunderstorm in the area the next day, Craig stopped by just to make sure they were OK. I always know that my first family is in superb hands when working with this amazing couple.”

11. Ethan P.
“GoodEvening, As a Dog person, I am very cautious on who I let watch my boys. Hank and Bogie. I asked Ethan if he would be interested, knowing he loves dogs too and he agreed. He came to my house for the weekend and I was very pleased with his care. He even sent pictures of him n the boys. He is very responsible and dependable. If he says he'll be there and give excellent care he will. He walked the boys and they're playful and he played with the dogs. I also felt safe with him coming to my house to watch them. I would highly recommend Ethan. Thank you, Karen Koenemann”

15. Jocelyn A.
About: I have my own dog who I raised since he was 8 weeks. He’s highly energetic and has his own quirks. I definitely can handle more “difficult” or high energy dogs. I’m available for walks or drop ins as needed! Prices can be negotiable depending on needs! I work full time so weekdays mainly available in the evenings primarily but available all day on weekends. Special availability during holidays due to being off of work. I do not have a fenced in yard so I have always had to be careful with my dog in regards to the increased risk of him running off. I am highly cautious and vigilant of what they may potentially get into or any signs of discomfort as well. I did training classes with my dog and have basic training knowledge.
16. Ashlee L.
