We will use her again!”

We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”

It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”

About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently working part time with plenty of time for your pets! With an inconsistent work schedule, Tuesdays are my only promised full day off but I have time in the week for Drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays! I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!
“Toni was great taking care of my cat! She sent great updates and was even able to get my fiesty girl to come out and say hello. Will book again for future needs :)”
“Leah was an absolute sweetheart, and very accommodating. She did a great job taking care of our kiddos and we would definitely use her again in the future! She’s even left us a little doggie gift!”
“Eric has been such a huge help with puppy Molly. He has given me peace of mind knowing she will get to potty and play during the day while I am at work.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15! Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to pet sit their beloved furry family members. While I do not have a dog of my own, I would love to spend time with yours and treat them with the most love and care, just like I would if they were my own! I love walks, playing, and will make sure your pup is happy, heathy, and fed. I can also give baths if needed! I work full time in an office, however I’m available weekdays in the morning before 8:30am and after 6pm, and at any time during the weekends! I would prefer to go to your house since my apartment is picky about dog breeds! I would love to take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood, or play in your yard if available! If your pup needs crated, no worries! I’m flexible and willing to work with you and your dog’s needs!
