“Theresa was great with my two fur babies while I was away on vacation. I felt at ease especially seeing pictures of them while I was away. I was impressed with the level of communication i recieved from her which i find very important. My dogs seemed happy when I got home not stressed that I was gone. I highly recommend Theresa service!”
About: I’ve loved animals since a child. I have 2 decades of experience taking care of dogs. I love to give them affection and care for them. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for pets. I am home nearly 90% of the time. Pets are friends! I have a large backyard where I have a temporary fence and enclosed play area for your pets. It is safe and the home is secure. My husband and I work together as we both enjoy working with animals.
“I am so incredibly grateful to have found Betsy! She is consistent, reliable, and cares for my girls as if they were her own. Communication has always been easy and professional. I could not recommend her enough!”
“We used Renee as our dog walker this school year. She was amazing and our dog loved her visits. She was always on time, never cancelled, and gave us such peace of mind. We received cute photos of our pup from her visit each day ensuring us that she was happy and taken care of.”
“Mackenzie was great! We had a meet and greet ahead of the visit and went over our dogs personalities and routines. Today was a visit to see how the dogs responded to Mackenzie when we weren't around, and fortunately that went well. Mackenzie kept us in the loop from the time she headed to our home until the visit was complete, and sent a bunch of really cute pictures of our pups. Scooby is a bit of a nervous dog so we weren't certain how he'd do, but he reportedly responded well. We would definitely have Mackenzie care for our pups again!”
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
“Amber is excellent with my two dogs and has been great for my young puppy to have exercise and walks during the day! She always takes some photos so I can see how the puppy is doing and leaves a nice write-up about each check-in.”
“Mandi was incredibly perfect for my family! I booked her for my parents while I was a few states away, and Mandi was awesome at communicating and setting up a visit with my parents! Their cat (was originally my cat, but my other cats would chase her) has a habit of grabbing her tail which leaves some minor scratches and requires some ointment application. Mandi applied it as needed and let us know when that was! She was also able to adjust her visits as my parents ended up leaving later than anticipated, and got back a day early. I would most certainly recommend Mandi for your pet sitting needs!”
“Amazing and attentive with your animals. 10/10 would recommend. Also was able to help us out and continue care when we had unplanned travel issues happened on short notice. Will absolutely be using her again!”

“Carmen was amazing with both of my pets. She didn't force anything upon them when they were scared and is more than willing to work with them to make sure they feel as much peace at home as possible.”
“Thank you so much for watching JJ. I had a much better trip away from her knowing she was being so well taken care of. The communication was spot on and exactly what I needed to know. Thanks so much. I will definitely reach out to you for my next trip or if I need anything else. Thank you again. Great job!”
“I am very grateful to have found Carolyn to take care of my boy, Briscoe. He is a smart, high energy dog and Carolyn took such good care of him. She sent me pictures and videos of each visit and kept me updated on all the fun they had playing games and fetch together. I am sure Briscoe was a little disappointed when it was me walking through the door when I got home instead of Carolyn coming to play with him.”
“Laurie has been so good with Toulouse. We just moved into the area and were a little concerned about taking a vacation so soon. Laurie’s reports on how Toulouse has been adjusting to being alone have eased our minds.”
