Maggie was great with our cats. Super responsive and a great problem solver. House was well taken care of and the cats weren’t anxious upon our return.

Josh was wonderful with my pup. He was confident, yet patient and sensitive to Mashuq’s need for careful and thoughtful introductions. It is clear that Josh is thoughtful and knowledgeable about dogs, and his default is to be thorough, and prioritize the pup. We’re so very appreciative!

Nicole was great. Bella was happy to see us when we got back, but not stressed at all. It was a huge relief to us to have someone we trusted watching her while I took my husband to the hospital for an outpatient procedure. Turned out well all the way around and I would use her again.

Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.

About: I have 4 years of pet care experience professionally as well as lots of informal experience. I’m comfortable walking and sitting all kinds of dogs- different sizes, personality, and needs! I love animals and I love getting to know new dogs. I have experience with giving oral meds, working with reactive dogs, and not afraid to clean messes! I currently work Thursday-Saturday, but am available the other days of the week. I can work morning and evenings and I am flexible with scheduling I always ensure I have a secure grip on leashes so that they won’t slip out of my hand if a dog lunges or starts to run. I stay aware of my surroundings and monitor what’s on the ground and whether there are other dogs around. I am also happy to communicate with owners as much as they would like and give updates on their animals!

Emily has cared for our dog Pepper in her home while we were traveling. Pepper is a mutt, the size and with some of the genetics of a Yorkshire terrier. Pepper is a rescue and is not secure around strangers. She prefers staying with Emily to staying in a kennel. I know Emily well and can testify that she and her husband Leroy have good judgment and are unflappable, which are valuable attributes in animal care.

Tiana was absolutely fabulous! Professional. Personable. Intuitive. Our young pugs had the absolute best time with Tania. She bonded with them instantly and them with her. Due to their bond, Mademoiselle and Captian (sister and brother), were very responsive and attentive to Tania. She took them on numerous daily outings such as: Little Long Pond; Pretty Marsh; Blue Horizon; and a hiking trail within walking distance from our home. Returning from our ten day trip, we were greeted by our two very happy little furbabies. Our home was immaculate (cleaner than when we left), bed linens, etc. were laundered and folded. Our plants looked better then ever and all our mail was organized neatly on our dining room table. To boot, early on in our trip, I needed help from Tania to put together an order placed on my Etsy shop. Having no experience in doing so, however, in no time Tania processed and shipped the order. Tania is truly exceptional.

Harmony was great! Our dogs had such a good time with her they weren't all that excited to see us when we returned. We have a tracker for one of our dogs so we know they were walked a couple of times a day. Harmony brought her own dog, and he got along great with my "girls." We will definitely ask her to sit again.

About: I am an avid cat lover and owner my entire life. I currently have two of my own cats and look after friends animals when needed. After just completing the entire Appalchian trail ibwas away from my cats for 6 months. Pursuing a life dream was wonderful but devastating to be away from my babies for so long. Now that I am home, they are one of my biggest priorities and the highlight of my days. I'd love to get to know and love your pets as well! I am currently self employed and have the ability to work from home and make my own schedule. This leaves my availability for pet care pretty flexible! I think each family has their own way of operating. What works best for my cats may not work for yours or even for dogs. I will follow all given instructions and guidance to make the experience the most comfortable for your pets.

Tyler has watched my two kitties several times over the past few years when I went to Fla for part of the winter. He took loving care, kept their area clean and they were fed and happy! He even sent me videos of them playing when I missed the little buggers. He is responsible and amazing interacting with my kitties!

I’ve known Theresa for over 12 years and have always known her to be an exceptionally caring owner of her dogs. She’s taken care of my dog, Rico, and has repeatedly proven herself to be a genuine lover of all sorts of furry beasts. Even while working and going to school full time, she always made it a point to make sure her dogs are happy and loved. I would trust Theresa with my dog’s happiness any day. Highly recommend!!!
