“She is the absolute best! I would not use anyone else! She treats our pets like our own; accommodates our every request and is as trustworthy as they come! Don't hesitate to have her care for your grumpy old dog, energetic larger dog or your cats. She handles it all with ease. I've already booked her for our next trip.”
“Alivia was amazing! We were in a time crunch and she jumped right in. 😁 She stayed with our furbabies four nights and kept them really happy. When we were flying home we missed our connecting flight, and Alivia offered to drive over and check on Henry, Sparkles and Beatrix. It was such a relief! ❤️ We came home to happy furbabies, and it’s all because Alivia took such great care of them. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Destiny has been just fantastic. I needed a house sitter to watch over my 10 week old puppy as I could not travel with her. After a meet & greet that went extremely well, Destiny agreed to house sit for the three consecutive days. I could not be happier. Destiny took fantastic care of my puppy, taking her outside for potty breaks as needed, day or night. The regular updates with photos, videos and messages were reassuring and calming for me. Destiny also was so respectful of the house and left it as nice as when she first got here. I could not have been happier with a house sitter for my puppy. Thank you! I know my puppy misses her!”
“Nicole is wonderful to work with! The moment she met Roger (Great Pyrenees), he was comfortable with her. I appreciate how she sends photos of him throughout the day. We trust her and already have another overnight stay planned!”

“Kylie is a lifesaver! We had to go out of town unexpectedly and she really came through for us. It's always such a peace of mind when Kylie is taking care of Salem. He even lets her pet him, which is pretty rare with our grumpy cat. 😆 Thank you again, Kylie!”
About: I have been dog/cat sitting since I was 11 and its held a place in my heart since. Walking my dog is my absolute favorite past time. Seeing happy animals makes me happy. I bond with every animal that I meet and I hope to meet so many more :) I currently work full time at a sandwich shop and part time and Ace Hardware. I do work a lot, however my real passion is caring for animals. I always make time for my pets, as I would do for yours. I live in a quiet neighborhood, where I go on plenty of walks everyday. I live with my mother who has a 7 month old husky-mix puppy and 3 cats, I have a 2 year old beagle-mix puppy, who is incredibly loving. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver.
