Amazing!!! I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous handing my babies over to a compete stranger. Brianna exceeded all my expectations and both of my pups seemed to love her. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their babies taken care of while they are away and I can’t wait to use her services again in the future. ?

Rachel is absolutely the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. Her timing was prompt, her communication was fantastic, and she went over and above on multiple occasions, including gracefully working with our oldest dog who had been scared by fireworks, making sure all of our pups' needs were met. We can't thank her enough!

We've been relying on Laurie to help care for our 2 dogs for YEARS whenever we needed a hand. We tried to kennel our dogs once and they hated it. Ever since then, whenever we have a trip out of town that the pups can't join us on or if we have a long day at work and need someone to let them out, our first call is always to Laurie. She's always kind and gentle with the pups and can handle any special request we throw her way (medication needs, walk schedules, etc). We can't recommend Laurie enough! If you're looking for a trustworthy partner in pet care AND a new best friend for your pet(s), look no further!

About: Yes, I am the person greeting your dog first. I can't help it! I've lived with and cared for all kinds of dogs, from pugs to pitties. I looked after an 17 year old hound dog, and have most recently been enjoying the adventure of raising a rottie boy from a pup. I've done all manner of clean ups, managed medicine schedules, and walked at every pace you can imagine in any weather you can imagine. I'm keen on helping pups meet their needs, be it exercise, play, training, or even a lil' hip massage. I'm in! Caring for my own pup helped me to heal from workplace burnout, so I'm working to make pet care a larger part of my life. That said, I am working part-time and have a lot of flexibility, particularly when I have ample notice or a consistent schedule. At the same time, the nature of my work now means I'm sometimes available on short notice, too. When caring for your pet in their home, I'm always happy to follow any instruction you have, and I'm big on leaving no trace that I've been there. I'm comfortable being captured on your pet cam, and will always triple-check that I've adequately secured both your pet and your home when leaving. Should your dog come to stay with me and my pup (2.5 yrs), they'll be in a two story home with a fenced in yard. I have a medium and large crate on site, as well as a small soft crate, and a variety of gates and beds/cots. In instances where solo time is preferred, my pup can often go for a slumber party at his uncle's place if needed.

Rhea is such a caring, responsible person. She is great with dogs of all breeds and treats each as if they are her own- giving them plenty of exercise, socialization and love! I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with her while I'm away and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for a four-legged family member.
