“Jess and Scott are always our first stop for watching our pup! We have been taking him to them since we got him as a puppy and could not reccomend them enough. Kind people who want nothing more than to make sure your dog is loved and cared for, while still having a lot of fun while doing it. Great people!”

You can trust her to love and play with them and make sure you know they're being cared for, which is what we as pet owners want, to know that our pets are in the best care when we can't be with them. I recommend her highly.”

About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.
16. Patty D.
“Patty is a very responsible, caring individual who would make a great dog sitter. I watched Patty care for her 13 year old dog with a gentle, attentive approach towards the last year of her life. She's watched my pets on multiple occasions and I know she's given them the best care possible!”
17. Alicia N.
“Gizmo is so happy at Alicia’s I didn’t think twice about bringing him back for a day visit.”
18. Cindy R.
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dog! She sent tons of videos and pictures while we were gone. She gave him lots of love and made sure he felt right at home. Will for sure be using her again.”
