Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. All my fur babies have been trained by me. if you have a puppy that is still in training I have no problem with that. we have all been there. I worked for a year at a local animal rescue. Where I was able to strengthen my knowledge on behavioral training and pet health. I am a college student and am free lot of the time but class are during the day. So breaks away from your fur babies might be longer during the semester. My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have always had a great bond with each one of them. As of right now I have a big golden doodle, and a little Aussie doodle, I love them both so much. My friends make fun of me because I baby them so much, I take them on car rides with me all the time and buy them ice cream cones every now and then. I promise to treat your dogs exactly how I treat mine! I’m currently unemployed, I’m about to go off to college in about a month so I’m just trying to find something to do in the meantime to keep me busy. I do play sports though so that does keep me busy but I can kind of move around when I want to practice or train so I should be pretty available. Well I take both of my dogs for walks often. I have a aussie doodle who is little, and a golden doodle who is huge, so no matter how big or small your dog is I can handle them.

I was so impressed with Kelly & David, from the “meet and greet” before they came to the house to take care of my two pets to the time they came to our house to let them outside. They were great with my two dogs and I will definitely use them again. In fact, I have already booked them again. As far as we are concerned, they are the ones. Thank you!

Molly was wonderful! She took care of our Bernese Mountain Dog, Franklin. She sent lots of pictures and went above and beyond to care for him. Molly was great with communication and always kept us up to date on how Franklin did during her check-in. I would definitely recommend Molly to help you with your pet needs. I know our Frankie appreciated her visits!

About: My journey with animals started early. I got my very own puppy when I was 12 years old and took her through all the training classes, determined to be the best little dog owner I could be. Since then, my love and care for animals has only grown stronger. In my adult life, I've raised two amazing pups. My sweet boy Ozzie, a shih tzu/bichon frisé mix, crossed the rainbow bridge in late 2024 after a brave battle with cancer. Now I share life with my little guy Tobie — a toy poodle/mini schnauzer mix who's been with me since he was just 20 weeks old. He's now 7, full of personality, and spoiled with love (as it should be!). Outside of pet care, I’m a wife, a mom to a fun-loving toddler, and I work a full-time job during weekday hours (roughly 9–5). That said, I still have a flexible schedule and am more than happy to carve out time for your furry friends. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, a drop-in buddy, or a caring house sitter, I’ve got you covered. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets — someone who will care for them like you do. When your pets are with me, they’re treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are. While I currently don’t offer pet sitting in my home until I’ve built a relationship with your pet, I’m more than happy to care for them in their own familiar space. I’ll follow your routines, respect your house rules, and do everything I can to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and maybe even like they're the ones on vacation! 😊
