Monica is the absolute best. I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to hire her and hope to have her back. Her notes about her visits were so fun and heartwarming to read. It was very clear our dog loved spending time with her and she did a fabulous job caring to his needs. Our daughters missed their dog and loved seeing and hearing what he got up to while we were gone. Couldn't ask for a better sitter to care for our boy. Thank you, Monica!

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

Maddy is awesome! She went above and beyond to take care of my dogs over the 9 days. When she saw my dog was scared during a storm, she stayed and comforted her. Communication was friendly and timely-I looked forward to the updates. Already working on the next visit. Thank you!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. I do have a golden doodle named Owen. We are a dogs family. I love taking dogs for walks and making sure they are living their best life. I work full time from home. I take my dog on several walks a day. I live near Waveland Golf course. Lots of trails near by to go for walks I have a fenced in yard. I have a dog named Owen who has been socialized and loves all dogs. He will help entertain any guest we have in our home.

I trusted Danny to come over twice a day to feed, give meds and provide company and exercise for my elderly German Shepherd Dog, Jezzie. Jezzie was happy and content when I returned. Danny left me a note, and also communicated via text and sent photos while I was gone. I give him an A+!

I think Jasmine is great with animals. She has a lot of experience with different animals. From bottle raising orphans to training service dogs. She is passionate and generally loves animals. She has a way with them that makes them warm up to her right away.

Jessica worked for me when I had a boarding business in Iowa. She was fantastic with the dogs, keep a clean space, and was always on time. She moved and I lost a great asset. I hope you find the greatness I did with your pet(s)!

I'm Sadie's mom, and we have a family dog, Bruno. When Sadie visits, Bruno doesn't let her out of his sight!! My husband and I like to travel so Bruno stays with his big "sister" when we're gone. One of their favorite things to do together whether at our home or her's is to go for walks. Sadie would love to have a pet of her own but at this point in time it's just not the responsible thing to do with her work schedule. Let her love on your pups, you won't regret it!
