15. Sarah T.
About: I have been watching animals for a couple years. I am good with big and little dogs. I have watched dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have class Tuesday night, Wednesday and Thursday till two. I am free any other time though. I can do over night if needed also. I have a fenced in backyard. I go on walks. I play with them. I feed them at the scheduled times. I give them all the attention they want
16. Sandra Z.
“After moving to the area I began looking for a place for overnight or weekend care for my best friend. I was appalled to find the facilities that promised "first class boarding and care" for my puppy (officially dog but she will always be my puppy), were actually large rooms with a lot of chain link cages! I was so happy to find Sandra. My puppy now has a beautiful and loving home environment that is every bit the equal of my home. When I come to pick her (Princess) up she is, of course, glad to see me but I have this nagging suspicion that she would like to hang around with Sandra a little more. Maybe it's because Sandra has a better yard than Princess has at her real home!”
17. Miya S.
“I am Miyas aunt. She had watched my two dogs, both Pomeranians and one tuxedo cat while I was away on vacation for two weeks she had came over daily to play with and feed let out the dogs. I had camera set up and watched she had did a great job and kept the animals company they had missed her when she had to go”
18. Lauri K.
“It's always a little bit nerve racking leaving your fur babies and house entrusted to a stranger, but Lauri made it stress-free. She provided constant updates and pictures of my pups, which was greatly appreciated. Your pets will be in great hands in her care. I'll definitely be using her services in the future and would recommend Lauri to anyone!”
19. Claire M.
“We were very pleased with Claire pet sitting our dog. She was proactive by sending us daily updates with pics, which we really appreciated.”
