“Wow. I can't say enough about her. We all fell in love with her! She was great. She asked questions to make sure she had all the bases covered, on time every time, updates with photos and videos! She is the best! She will be the only one we book everytime! Thanks so much for making us feel so comfortable with leaving Dexter in your hands!”

“Shan has over 30 years of professional animal care and handling experience. He studied animal behaviors and knows breed specifics along with characteristics and is always willing to share some knowledge to those interested. He truly loves what he does. His compassion and caring nature naturally makes animals feel comfortable, relaxed, appreciated and loved! I trust him with my dogs including my more challenging one and they all love him and the attention and care he gives to them.”


5. Amelia B.

“Amelia took care of my cat very well. My cat doesn’t warm up easily to very many people so I was pleasantly surprised that she let Amelia pet her! Clearly she felt very comfortable with her and I’m very happy with the care she received.”


6. Lilly S.
“I have known this young lady for many years and she never disappoints! Every time I visit my family I make sure to let Lilly know ASAP so my pets could be watched by only her. I have two elderly dogs, one adult dog and one adult cat and she makes them feel loved every time. She’s done drop in visits for me mostly but when I take vacations I trust her to stay in home as well. I’ve never had an issue with any of my animals when Lilly is watching them! Worth every penny I’ve paid her!”


7. Katelynn M.
“Katelynn was very good and had fun with my dogs, they know how to groom, and pick up after my pets, and they do a really good job calming down my pets, as well as treating them when they are acting good. Overall I trust them with my pets and you should too.”


8. iris f.
“I can’t recommend Iris enough as a pet sitter! Iris babysits my two German Shepherd mix dogs when I go out of town. She is so loving and sweet! My boys get so excited to see her when she comes over! They absolutely adore her. She always has a little photo shoot with my boys to show me how their day is going and what they’re up to. I love to see how happy my boys are with her and how much Iris truly cares. She is reliable, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make sure the boys are happy and well cared for. It gives me peace of mind knowing she’s with the boys.”


9. Elba B.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to structure, trust-building, and tailored care—especially for high-energy breeds like German Shorthaired Pointers. My experience includes: ✅ Training & Obedience – I specialize in leash training, impulse control, and reinforcing good behavior, making me ideal for puppies and energetic dogs. ✅ Active & Engaging Care – I understand the needs of high-energy dogs and provide structured exercise, mental stimulation, and adventure outings to keep them happy and balanced. ✅ Senior Pet Care – I have the patience and attentiveness needed for older pets, ensuring they get gentle handling, comfortable rest, and any necessary accommodations. ✅ Customized Routine – I adapt to each pet’s unique personality, whether they need structure, socialization, or extra affection. More than just a sitter, I focus on building trust and creating a safe, enriching environment so every pet feels at home. Daily Routine Morning: First thing in the morning, I take them out for a bathroom break. They get their morning meal, ensuring proper nutrition based on their active lifestyle. A long walk or run follows to burn off energy and set a calm tone for the day. Midday: If I’m home, I engage them in short training sessions (reinforcing obedience, leash manners). Some interactive playtime, either with toys or a backyard game. Evening: Dinner time, ensuring they eat a balanced meal. Another walk or training session, depending on the day's activities. Relaxation time indoors before bed, usually with some quiet bonding time. Weekly Routine Grooming: I check their coats, ears, and nails weekly. GSPs don’t require much grooming, but they do shed. Adventure Days: I like to take them on a hiking trip or field run at least once a week for extra stimulation. Training Refreshers: I incorporate new commands or fun challenges to keep them engaged. 1. Safety First Keep hazardous items (toxic foods, cleaning supplies, sharp objects) out of reach. Ensure the home is secure (closed gates, fences, and escape-proof areas). Use pet-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. Monitor pets closely, especially in new environments. 2. Building Trust Introduce myself calmly and let the pet approach at their own pace. Maintain a routine to provide consistency and reduce stress. Use positive reinforcement (treats, praise) to encourage good behavior. Respect their space, especially when they need alone time. 3. Creating a Comfortable Environment Provide clean, fresh water at all times. Ensure they have a cozy sleeping area. Maintain a comfortable room temperature. Offer mental stimulation through toys, games, and interaction. Follow their dietary needs and feeding schedule strictly.
