“Bralynn was amazing with our fur family. She treated them like family and they responded well to her. She stayed with them for the weekend and it was so nice knowing someone was with them. She was so great to us with our chaotic weekend changes also. Very flexible and helpful. The house looked the same as when we left. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”


“Deborah did a wonderful job of taking care of our dogs and tortoise while we were gone. She sent photos and videos everyday and she went above and beyond by cleaning up before we returned, collecting mail, and making our dogs feel extra loved. I highly suggest Deborah for your dog sitting needs.”


About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

About: I've been taking care of dog for as long as I can remember. I'm able to take care of/ watch dog from puppies to seniors. I've watched dog with and without disabilities, and I know how to administer medications from pills to shots. I also know how to preform cpr and the heimlich if needed. I currently have a part time job where I get to choose when to work. So I'm able to spend time with the fur babies whenever. I'm very respectful of my clients homes, and I follow rules that they set of me. I like to keep my clients updated on what's going on with plenty of photos, and I always try to make sure the fur babies I'm watching have a good time.
