“Shemoy worked closely with us to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left them. She treated our babies like her own and always kept us fully updated :)”
2. Kimberly P.
“Kimberly was fantastic with our 2 fur babies. She stayed at our rental during the day on our two day stay while we were out on the motorcycle. Our dogs absolutely loved her and so did we. She even brought our pups organic dog treats and she left us a thank you card for us. She is a true professional. We will absolutely use Kimberly again when we come back to Colonial Beach.”

5. Virginia E.
“I have 4 Labrador Retrievers and Virginia is the only person I trust watching my dogs. She watches them at least once a month and administer medicine to them when needed. They absolutely love her and loves when she watches/spoils them. She walks them on leash and plays with them in my fenced in back yard. When she watches them, she stays over sometimes, its a weekend and sometimes a couple of weeks at a time when we vacation out of country. Wouldn't trust anyone else to watch my dogs.”

“Saraí was great! She took excellent care of all 5 of my dogs as well as sent me pictures everyday. My dogs loved her! Anytime she had a question she communicated promptly. I would use her again in a heartbeat.”
15. Ashlye S.
“She is very caring and thoughtful. She watched our dogs while we had our mother on hospice. ASHLEY MADE sure my dogs were fed on time as one is like clock work for her feeding and she made sure they had plenty of yard time. I would recommend Ashley hands down. She is the best.”

17. Stacey N.
“During the holidays, we booked Stacey (fourth time hiring her) to watch our home and cat while we were out of the country. We are always extremely impressed with the sincere level of care and attention she provides. This time she housesat and took care of our (now) sole kitty cat. She always asks very caring questions during the pre-care 'meet & greet' and while we were away, she made sure to follow all of the feeding and litterbox instructions we left, played with our energetic kitty often and even sent us daily updates and photos to put our minds at ease. We returned home to a happy and healthy cat, who seemed to wonder where his new BFF went, and to a spotless house (better than we left it!), with detailed notes on the stay re everything from packages, to mail to cat care and beyond. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone in need of detail-oriented, reliable and responsible care for their home and pets. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that our home and kitty cat were well taken care of while we were away, and kept the communication going throughout. Stacey is THE BEST!”

19. Kirstynn J.
About: Hi there , I just have always had a love for animals , I am currently a full time student on my way to become a veterinary technician as well as working full time in a vet clinic. I am open to watching your pets if they get along well with other dogs/small kids, with my work schedule it would be best to watch at my own home but depending on the situation and distance I could possibly stay at yours as well ! I have 3 days off during the week so depending on the scenario I can always bring your pets to work with me as well so they are not alone. I already work with animals as my job and love being around them. I have a good experience and it’s really just part of my daily routine Just whatever is instructed for me to do , I want to make sure everything is fear free and I am able to bond with the pet and help with their nerves and just make sure they have a good time
