“Excellent! She is a very nice person that cares about animals and it shows. My dog had a great time at her house. She sent me pictures and videos and I am so grateful for the way she treated our dog. Thanks!!!”
“Susy was great with our Zoey! Zoey is very attached to us and we were very nervous to leave her, but Susy soon stole her heart! Zoey made herself right at home and quickly became protective over Susy, which means she must have been giving lots of love and treatos to Zoey. Susy sent lots of pictures and updates that showed just how much love Susy was giving Zoey and how much fun Zoey was having! Would definitely recommend trusting Susy with your pets :)”
“Jessica had great communication and sent plenty of pictures which was great. He loved playing with their 2 dogs as well! Will definitely use Jessica in the future!”
“Our pup had so much fun staying with Charles! She had lots of attention, cuddles, and playtime with puppy pals. I love that she wasn't put in a kennel and was allowed to sleep in a home environment.”
“Liz is fabulous! She took such amazing care of our sweet girl. Our dog loved her after the first meet and greet! Liz was great about communicating and if we are ever back in the area we would use her in a second!”
“Our dog Lulu had a blast and was well cared for with Ellie! She was very proactive about getting all the details to make sure she was at home, and she had so much fun playing with her dogs! We would recommend her to anyone and ask to board with her again!”
“We were nervous about leaving our English bulldog for a week. As soon as we met the carers are worries disappeared. They took great care of Clancy and sent us daily videos. We were just saying Clancy came home in good shape unlike previous kennel stays. We look forward to dropping Clancy off again in the future”
“GREAT with our dog! She is a dog lover and gave Elsa the run of her home. Sent videos and called with updates. Would absolutely use her again!!”
“Brandy and her family were amazing!! We left both of our pups with them for weekend boarding and the care that they received was exactly what any dog parent would want; they were loved on all weekend and we were sent plenty of photo updates! Definitely would recommend Brandy and we’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Very communicative and accommodating! Even though our dog wasn’t the best house guest, she changed things up to help him. Thank you soooooo much!!!!”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.”
“Linda was great with our cat Millie. She sent us updates throughout the stay, gave her medications on schedule and did everything she could to make her comfortable. She gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes! I have a little dachshund named steel who is a couch potato with the occasional zoomies as well as a 6 year old son who loves anything furry and sweet. I work 8:30-3 but only 7 mins from home and can pop in on my lunch if needed. Otherwise home and ready to play with fur babies I do not have a fenced in yard but do have space where they could get their zoomies out. Welcome to be on furniture and even better if they snuggle my kiddo in bed.
“Excellent service Alexis and her husband are heaven sent. They are very responsive and took both my pups at the last minute. I couldn't see leaving my babies with anyone else.....know that you both are our pups official caregivers when we are away. They showed both my fur babies who have different personalities so much love. Our poodle was afraid to walk off the porch before we took her to you and as soon as she got home she just ran and ran all around the yard. It may be minor to some but it means a lot to my children and I. Thank you again and we will see you soon!❤”
“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”
“My dog was loved and cared for by Lynn as if she was still with me! Lynn sent so many pictures and messages which assured me that she was doing well without me. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone who loves their pet!”
About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.
About: I am a Canine Handler of 4 years where I have provided training, boarding, grooming, and medical services such as CPR to canines and there owners. I have entered into Prisons, Jails, Schools, Busch Gardens, Marathons, NFL Games, concerts, etc to conduct Narcotic and Explosive detection for the communities! I would love to open our home and knowledge to you and your fur family! We live in Callao, Virginia and love to travel! I have taken my canines to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania, Nee Jersey, New York and Texas for work purposes! Pet Care has a special slot of all the time, 24/7 routine, it is the most valuable part of the animal industry we are in. Pets are family members that don’t have the voice to communicate but the brain that will remember everything from trauma to the love. Pets are protected more than one way around me.
