“I have 2 dogs, one is a very fearful dog so he is hard to handle. Ben did a fantastic job. He was able to get them both outside for their potty breaks, something I wasnt sure he could do. He sent daily updates and photos. Its nice to go away and know even my difficult pup is well cared for.”
“Zachary was easy to work with and also very friendly to our dog. He was on time for the check ins, and sent along pictures/updates with how our boy was doing. We highly recommend Zachary, and we will certainly utilize his services again if the need arises!”
“Miqelle took great care of my kitty during our recent vacation. Our cat is very social, so Miqelle made sure to spend time playing with and cuddling her every day, not just refilling her food/water. I never worried because Miqelle provided me occasional photos and text updates while I was away!”
“Colin always goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after the house! Most importantly, though, the cats love him, which is not a given with them - they tend to be shy around new people. I would definitely recommend Colin, and my husband and I plan to rebook in the future!”
“Kat was great with Kira on sort of short notice. She also had to deal with the extreme summer heat as well as unexpected people in the backyard working on the pool. Kira had a great time and was well taken care of.”
“Rebecca is terrific and very reliable! She responds quickly when I contact her with requests. Most importantly though Duke is happy on his walks with her. She is great for drop in walks!”
“I scheduled Kelly at the last minute and she was more than willing to take care of my cat, Domino, for 3 days. She sent pictures at each daily visit to reassure me that my furbaby was well taken care of. Much appreciated Kelly!!”
“Our pets seemed to really respond well to Amy, and her updates gave us a lot of peace of mind during our vacation. We will definitely be seeking her services for our next vacation!”
“Thank you so much Bonnie! We haven’t left our fur babies with anyone outside of family and the doggos had a blast. All the photos and updates for each visit was amazing to see while we were gone!! Thank you”
“Stef was a total lifesaver with a last minute drop-in visit for our two dogs! They were both really happy to see her and had a great time. Stef did a fantastic job with them both and I would recommend her to anyone in the area who needs a good walker!”
“I cannot thank Blaise enough for how wonderful he is with my two special pups. He has been so reliable, helpful and flexible. I never would’ve dreamed I could find someone as kind and responsive. He’s worth his weight and gold to us!”
About: Grew up with both dogs and cats and learned to read the little ways they communicate. I'll be sure to treat them as my own but under your specific guidance and instruction, making sure they're comfortable and cared for while you're away. I can get them moving, tucker them out, or just give them belly pats until you're home—either way, I'm sure they'll have fun! I'm a writer by day, which basically means I'm 'unemployed.' But this is great for you because I'll have plenty of time for your pets! (Not so great for the gas bill however...) It also means I have a very flexible schedule and can bend to your scheduling needs. I'm certain we can work out a time that works for both of us. I was in the Navy and the NSA and held a Top-Secret Clearance for over six years. (They don't just give those things out to anyone.) But if that's not enough to get you to feel safe, I'm also CPR certified, was an EMT, and have experience watching pets of family and friends for years and nothing bad has ever happened.
“Kylie was amazing, she is so sweet, thoughtful and communicative! She followed our feeding instructions and all of care instructions thoroughly and sent us so many sweet pictures. You can tell that she really spends time giving your pet all the love and care they deserve. I was so appreciative of the few extra pictures we got and the notes she left, letting us know our favorite little guy was being looked after well. We will definitely be using Kylie again, she is a fantastic sitter :)”
