5. VERA T.
About: I was new to the pet ownership when I got my boys in 2019. Boy did I miss out. I got 2 Biewer Terriers puppies and have never been happier. Unfortunately, due to personal issues which arose, I had to rehouse my babies. Fortunately, I was able to rehouse them to my dentist. Since she brings them to work, I can still see them whenever I want to. In the absence of having my boys full-time, I would be honored to take care of your beloved pets. My time is my own. I am retired and home all day. I am flexible so can adjust my schedule to fit your schedule. Let's work together to make things easiest for you. I live in a townhouse with a balcony so your pets can be outdoors all day, if you want. I took care of a Greyhound who was very sweet but quiet. He would sit out on the balcony all day and never barked once. I can also take puppies that need training. I had to do it with my boys. I have potty pads and other things I used to train them. Right now I take care of potty breaks for two dogs 4 days a week. One is a senior dog, the other a 5 month old full of energy. I let her run around in the back yard for about 15-30 minutes then crate her until the owner returns home.
6. Macy F.
“Macy took such amazing care of our fur babies! She really went above and beyond to make sure our pups were well cared for and still had fun while we were out of town. Our dogs can be high energy but she kept them happy with walks and plenty of games of fetch. One of our dogs can be nervous around other people but he warmed up to her very quickly. We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in good hands! Thanks for everything, Macy!”
7. April L.
“April was amazing with Hank and Lucy! She followed everything needed for our chocolate lab and golden retriever! We didn't have to worry at all while we were gone and we received pictures of the babies so we wouldn't miss them too much! Thank you, April! You were the best!”
8. Anna Mei D.
“Anna was excellent with our fur baby while we were on an extended vacation. She stayed in our home and was very respectful during her stay. Our doggie is disabled and needs a bit more care which Anna provided.”
9. Hailey B.
“Hailey is a wonderful pet caregiver! Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for our 3 year old dog are always evident. She goes above and beyond by making sure that our dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. She keeps us updated with pet check ins and photos and treats our dog like family. I wholeheartedly recommend Hailey to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver.”
10. Robert B.

I know our dogs already look forward to her next visit!”
