“I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Kaitlyn. She was communicative, kept us up to date on the animals, sent pics, kept the house cleaner than I do, and the animals are relaxed and happy after our absence. It will be so much easier leaving them next time as long as we have Kaitlyn!”
“We could not have asked for a better house/pet sitter than Melinda. She was very attentive, detailed, and caring of our “furry family “. It is obvious that she loves all animals and shows in her care for them. Penny, our 9 year old Lab had an emergency requiring vet care, and Melinda quickly and confidently handled the situation while keeping us informed. This issue also required additional time and attention and her and her husband upended their schedule to make sure Penny had the necessary care. We highly recommend Melinda for any pet care needs!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.
“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”
“10/10 will recommend Anamaria any day of the week!! She is amazing. Our Stella was so happy and had the best time with her. Happy and healthy were our main priorities and she exceeded them with her care. Constant updates, great communication, and flexible! She also took care of our crested gecko and his needs. From the first meet and greet when Ana asked detailed and important questions, we knew she’d be a great fit and caring sitter. We are happy to know we have a reliable and go-to person for all future pet needs!”
