“I have known Melissa her entire life. She is a very compassionate person, and that certainly extends to pet as well as humans. She has owned many pets, almost all entirely rescue animals. She is a very responsible person and pet "parent". She has a special knack for understanding animals. Her calm and nurturing persona results in animals quickly developing a trust in her. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any pet sitting/caring needs.”

“Bella had a great time playing with their cats and puppies. Beautiful place with a wonderful wooded backyard. Great for dogs to play and expend lots of energy. Bella was relaxed and happy at the end of the day!”

“Abreya is wonderful. Great communication, friendly, & flexible. Don’t hesitate to book her. We needed services early morning hours outside of her normal hours & she was able to do it. Communication was top notch. Definitely will be using her again & again. Thanks again Abreya.”

We keep our house cool in the summer because Groni has thick hair.

I have a fenced in yard. We let our dog out 3-4 times a day, as well as a walk a day to help keep his joints healthy.

“I chose Elizabeth because of her years of experience but will definitely be using her again because of how well she looked after Johnny Bravo. Lots of walks, provided frequent updates, and gave him medicine with no problems. Also Johnny produces a lot of that eye booger mucus in the morning and I can always tell if someone takes the time to wipe it off so it doesn’t crust in the corner of his eyes. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Angel watched my babies Bug and Snooka. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated through the day about how they were doing. I would definitely leave use her services again!”

About: I've had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, guinea pig, bunny, hamsters, fish, reptiles... I love them all!! I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and in my free time I volunteer with Operation Paws for Homes. Animals are my life 🐶😺🐭🐰🐸 I work from home full time and my schedule is very flexible. I can easily take breaks throughout the day for playtime. In my house, pets are family and I'd treat anyone else's pet the same. I'd make sure that our first visit is all about them getting comfortable with me and I am very patient and willing to work with shy or difficult pets. They will get tons of love and attention as long as I'm around ☺️ My dogs are very used to having new dogs visit us. They're a little crazy at first but after the initial excitement wears off, the new dog is welcomed into the pack. One of my cats actually loves dogs and goes out of her way to say hello. My other cat is not a fan but I have pet gates to keep everyone downstairs, letting her roam freely upstairs. I have never had any issues with new dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments meeting my fur family ❤️ I work from home full time so your pup will get all day attention. I have a fenced in yard and can let him/her out as often as needed. I'm here all day so no one goes unsupervised. If I do need to leave the house for anything, I have a pet camera set up to check in on everyone.

“Robert was excellent with our dog Dutchess, she was at ease with him immediately. Robert was available and answered his phone quickly when we called to check how our dog was behaving. We were extremely pleased with his service and Will use him again for sure.”
