2. Maegan K.
“Maegan was fantastic! First time leaving our 2 dogs with a dog sitter and Maegan made it easy. Lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her and we will for sure use her again.”
3. Doug S.
“Thank God we found Doug!! He has been absolutely wonderful with our senior dog, Baxter. He is always on time to care for him. Baxter has some health issues that Doug was very helpful with, including cleaning his eyes and eye drops. Doug is great to work with, understanding and helpful with schedule changes, and he went above and beyond what was expected. We highly recommend him and he will be our go to person in the future. We especially appreciate the pictures he sends and that he takes time to play with Baxter even though Baxter sometimes has a hard time getting around.”

About: I have always had dogs in my house and I have pet sit for my neighbors all the time in the summer! I love spending time with animals and have a horse of my own! I currently work at a restaurant part time and only have one class in school so I have a very flexible schedule for anytime of the day! I have a big fenced in backyard where my dog loves to run around. Also have tons of toys and a pool for the pets to cool off!
10. Kayla L.
“Kayla was fantastic. She came over for a meet and greet ahead of our trip and took detailed notes on our pet's needs. Our pet managed to disassemble his automatic feeder; Kayla was able to troubleshoot the feeder to get it back on its tracks during one of the drop-ins. Highly recommend, very professional and truly cares about your pet's well-being!”

About: As a true animal lover with years of experience caring for friends' and family members' pets, I've developed a deep passion for nurturing our furry companions. Now that my nest is empty, I’m excited to dedicate my time to showering your pets with the love, care, and joy they deserve. Let's create some unforgettable moments together! After a rewarding career as a nurse, I’ve embraced a new chapter as the owner of a logistics company. This venture gives me the freedom to work from home and enjoy a flexible schedule. Now, I have plenty of time to shower my furry friends with love and attention! Meet my adorable mini golden doodle, the friendliest furball you'll ever encounter! He absolutely loves playing with other animals and adds so much joy to my home. I also share my home with two fabulous cats—one playful kitten and a wise two-year-old. They all get along wonderfully, making this happy household a delightful hub of furry antics! While my yard isn’t fenced, it opens up to a beautiful golf course in BSL, providing a great backdrop for endless playtime. Plus, my quiet dead-end street is perfect for relaxing walks, ensuring all can enjoy the outdoors safely. Come and join the fun—it’s always a great day for a walk or a romp in the yard!
