“Alec and Buddha were awesome! The communication, videos, and pictures while we were gone provided a great level of comfort. Alec also did some work with training our puppy during his stay AND we know she had a fun time while we were away - they definitely worked hard and played harder! And as an added bonus, the house was perfectly clean when we returned! Looking forward to booking Alec again in the near future.”
About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding. At our country home we have a peaceful and fun environment and private large field that is kept mowed. Your dog will be supervised very closely. Non smoking home. Thank you for considering me; I hope you have a great day! I am a stay at home mom to one and I am home most or all of the day. We are very flexible but also stay on schedule and can accommodate your dog's routine. We live in the country and have ample space for private walks as well as a large mowed field. I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.
About: I have lived with animals of all kinds for as long as I remember, ever since I was about 5 I would help my parents feed and take care of the animals, and I still help with many thing weither it's bathing, taking on walks, giving hair cuts, giving vaccinations, cutting nails, or giving medication of all sorts. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I have to wait till 4:00 to love your fur-babys as much as you do. I will give your fur-babys the same care and love as I give my pets at home, while also meeting your specific care expectations to keep your fur-babys safe and happy.
“Jessica was awesome to work with! Her communication was excellent and she really put us at ease that our dogs were in great hands! We had a series of illnesses between both dogs right before her stay and she did great at making sure they got their medications! We came home to 2 happy and spoiled dogs!”

“I like to call Alex the animal whisperer, they just all seem to flock to her! She has experience taking care of several types of animals in my house including; cats, dogs, birds, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, bearded dragon, leopard gecko, and mice. She is very responsible, reliable and caring.”
