“McKenzie took on the challenge of wrangling our trio of active huskies for 4 days and did an awesome job! They were very well cared for and we will hire her again.”


“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”


“This is my second time booking with Madeline and I am once again a happy pet parent! She is great at communicating throughout her stay and our pets are always well taken care of. I highly recommend!”


“Ryan was able to accommodate us last minute for two separate days that we had to be out of town for the whole day. He is responsive and will update you when he arrives and leaves.”


“I’m very satisfied with the job Makala did with my cats and house during her stay. Both cats were very well cared for. Spooky may have even gained a little weight and Camo seems less jumpy and wants more pets. I would definitely call on Makala again when I get another chance to travel. I hope the arrangement worked out well for her also and I wish her all the luck in the world with her new business.”


About: I have a soft spot for the big bully breeds but love the little ones as well. I worked at an animal emergency clinic for a few years. My flex is remaining extremely calm in any situation. My weakness is I become attached to easily. I can do my work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊

“Stephanie did awesome with our babies - she quickly learned their schedule and stuck to it. She let me know when she was leaving and when to expect her back, they were never alone very long. Already booked her for our next trip!”


“Lamaris always does a wonderful job with the pups. They are so well cared for and happy when I return from vacation! He’s also very good at keeping the house clean and organized, and goes above and beyond by taking out the trash and reaching out with questions when needed.”


About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life. My last dog was 18 and 1/2 yrs old when I lost her. She was my best friend and I still miss her 9 yrs later. Animals give us unconditional love and they deserve the same in return. They communicate with us if we keep our minds open to it. I am semi retired, I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. My cats are on a timed feeding schedule of prescription cat food and 3 weekly feeding of fresh wet cat food with no by products, just protein, rice and broth. I check their weight weekly and they receive vet visits quarterly like clock work. I take their health as seriously as I take my own. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

About: I've taken care of a family dog my whole life. I am always gentle and kind to dogs. I try to be patient with them always. I'm looking to spend as much time as I can with pets! Taking care of animals is a big passion of mine. I always treat them like my own family. I treat pets gently and kindly. I always put them first place and I'm sure to stay attentive to their needs. I'm looking forward to becoming a professional.
