“This was my first time using a sitter like this. Normally I have used a kennel. My last few kennel experiences were not great. In fact the last one was horrific. My dog could hardly walk when I picked her up and they claimed it was from being in crate all weekend, but it was more than that. Her back was out of whack and she had to get an adjustment and acupuncture. Genae was really patient with all of my questions as I was a bit insecure trying something new. My one dog is 15 years old and kind of a special needs at this point. When I picked them up they both looked happy and well cared for. She sent me pictures of them daily and they looked like they were comfortable and at home there. My younger little dog got to be around other dogs which he loves as his senor sister isn't much of a player anymore. I will be using her again, next month actually!!!”
“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”
“Nancy is amazing! My 9 month old puppy Arlo is a pitbull and pretty energetic he’s a big boy too and she loved on him so much. He stayed two days. Nancy sent me pictures and updated me so I wouldn’t worry. She has a huge fenced back yard my dog was able to play but also come in and nap on her furniture. When I picked him up he was happy as a clam! I would recommend and use Nancy again for sure! I thank her for treating my dog as her own.”
“I highly recommend Aimee! When dropping off for Benny's second stay, he ran inside and didn't look back. Normally he displays some separation anxiety, but not this time. He is very comfortable returning to Aimee's house. and so am I!”
“I feel so blessed to have found Carley! My pup Faith has special needs and I never leave her with anyone but Carley.. it's so wonderful to know that she is being taken care of just like she's at home with me, so I'm not worried and I can have fun. Faith loves her time when she gets to stay with Carley and her friends!”
“We cannot recommend Jared highly enough. From our very first interaction, his attention to detail and professionalism set him apart. He took the time to ask thoughtful, specific questions about our dog’s routines, preferences, quirks, and health history—everything from feeding schedules and portion sizes to behavioral cues and comfort habits. It was clear he wasn’t just “watching a dog”; they were committed to understanding and caring for our dog. Communication was exceptional throughout. We received consistent updates—photos, positive words about our dog’s behavior and how much he enjoyed watching our dog. Every message reassured us that our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and engaged. His knowledge of dog care was evident in both small and significant ways. He demonstrated confidence in handling, situational awareness on walks, and an understanding of canine behavior that gave us complete peace of mind. He was proactive rather than reactive, anticipating needs before they became issues. Our dog can be particular, yet he adapted seamlessly and respected established routines while building trust. What truly stood out was his authenticity. There was nothing transactional about his care—it was thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and that sincerity showed in every interaction. If you are looking for someone who blends professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness, and heartfelt care, his is extraordinary. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”
“Isaiah was an absolute blessing! Due to unexpected circumstances, we had to find a last minute sitter for our 1 year old Cane corso/pit mix(dax). Now... knowing the ball of energy and at times very talkative dog we have. We were worried that Dax would be too much for even the most patient of dog sitters. Isaiah was absolutely amazing with him! Dax instantly took a liking to him at our meet and greet, and they soon became friends.”
About: I have hands‑on experience caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. My approach is calm, observant, and patient — I let each pet set the pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment I arrive. For cats, I’m especially familiar with senior care, mobility challenges, and monitoring litter box habits. I’m comfortable supporting shy or anxious cats, administering oral medications, and keeping a clean, low‑stress environment. I also have light medical experience specifically with cats like giving prescription injections and giving subcutaneous fluids when needed and directed by a vet. For dogs, I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, feeding schedules, and reading body language to keep walks and visits smooth and positive. I’m attentive to energy levels, comfort cues, and any changes in behavior. I have an enclosed backyard for outside time if they like, and a great walking path in the neighborhood for walks. I’m reliable, detail‑oriented, and committed to giving every pet the same level of care and respect I give my own. You’ll receive clear updates, honest communication, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful, independent, senior, or needs a little extra support, I’m here to provide steady, worry‑free care tailored to their needs. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I can be available for full time or part time, one time or several. Just talk to me about my availability I provide calm, attentive, and safety‑focused care whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine. My goal is always to create a predictable, low‑stress environment where your pet feels secure and understood. In your home: I follow your routines exactly as you describe them, feeding schedules, walking routes, litter box setup, household rules, and any special instructions. I keep doors and gates secured, double‑check that pets can’t slip out, and maintain a clean environment throughout each visit. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and comfort so I can spot changes early and communicate them to you. For cats: I move slowly, respect boundaries, and let them approach on their terms. I’m experienced with senior cats, mobility challenges, and monitoring litter box habits. I keep their space tidy, refresh water and food carefully, and maintain a calm atmosphere that helps shy or anxious cats feel safe. For dogs: I use steady, confident leash handling, stick to familiar walking routes, and avoid overstimulation. I watch body language closely, support positive behavior, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and comfort. Safety is always the priority, secure harnesses, controlled entrances/exits, and mindful interactions. Communication & trust: You’ll receive clear updates, honest notes, and photos every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, and I work to make each visit predictable, safe, and worry‑free.
“Ashley was great, everything went smoothly from drop off to pick up to communication in between. She went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable with disabilities. We've already rescheduled for our next trip. So glad I found this home away from home for my dogs.”
“Lorrie was fantastic! We were able to book with her last minute for a weekend trip we needed to go on with late notice. She sent tons of pictures and videos of our girls and always kept us updated on how they were doing. Our girls had so much fun and got so much energy out they came home exhausted and very happy 😊”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including different breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I work remotely, which means your pet will have constant supervision, and attention throughout the day. I treat every pet how I would want mine treated and strive to provide a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home and have for over 5 years. This allowed the time to really watch over your pet and being able to handle anything they need. I have a fenced in small back yard. My apartment also offers locations to walk dogs and allow them to poop and get some extra room.

“Teagan (and her family) were incredible hosts for my Puggle. I was a little nervous of how it would all go since my pup can be pretty anxious around new people. But she seemed to immediately warm up and feel comfortable. I loved that Teagan sent me photos and updates every day that I was gone. I completely trust her and would book again in a heartbeat! Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!”
About: I have had a dog since I was born. I started caring for my dog by the age of five. Then, I did overnights with a diabetic dog, with whom I had to administer medicine. Now, I have two dogs of my own who are very special. I currently work from home, so pet care fits in seamlessly with my routine. I also have a fenced-in yard, so potty breaks can be taken frequently. I am very attentive with care for pets in my home, and I’m my clients home. I always ensure there is fresh food and water. I make sure they have toys or chew toys to keep them occupied. I am always available to take time to play, and go on potty breaks.
About: My name is Jessica! I am 21 years old and I am originally from Brentwood, California. I just graduated last week from College and I have officially moved into my first apartment here in Redding. I am looking for clients that I can gain their trust to watch their animals in Redding. In high school I had a couple families back home that I was always on their list to watch their animals and I would love to be on your list as well. I have my own car and I am willing to take your animals on walks and to outdoors areas to play if you would like. I have a huge love for all animals but unfortunately I can't have any animals in my apartment so this will be perfect to get my animal fix for the weekend. I am very reliable, organized, and trustworthy. I would love to help you and your family out! Thank you for your time. Pet care fits into my daily routine by going home during my breaks at work to let animals out. Weekends are a huge part in taking care of animals for people when they go on vacation. I plan on taking care of the animals any way the owners do like in their own home. I will play with them and keep them active.
About: I’ve always been around animals ever since I was little- horses, goats, chickens, cats, dogs- you name it! I love animals and taking care of them. The company of a set of paws is one of the most comforting and rewarding things. I know how much a bond between a pet parent and pet means, and will go above and beyond to make sure an owner is content when away from their fluffy family member. I promise to ensure peace of mind that they are cared for and happy, whether it’s a wagging tail or a purring tummy. I’ve been pet-sitting and walking for my neighbors since I was young, and care for each pet as if it were my very own. I’m currently almost entirely available! Any walks or home check in times needed, I can do them! I’m happy to go for morning and evening strolls with a pup, or check in on a kitty a time a day or more to make sure your fur baby is happy and healthy. I care for clients’ pets by walking their dogs, feeding pets, administering medication such as flea medication, cleaning litter boxes and lawns, and more as required.
About: Been raised around cats, dogs, and farm atmosphere my whole life, raised my first dog at 8 years old. Have been watching pets for friends, family, and acquaintances for almost a decade. I can watch any day of the week, Monday - Friday I can’t stay all day. I have no problem with being at the house for majority of the day. I live on a 5 acre land with plenty of space for pets to roam. There is also BLM land right behind the house with a trail by the creek to walk. Along with a spacious home. When house sitting I stay with the pets according to rules and instructions set by the owner.

About: I’ve spent years caring for cats with a wide range of personalities and needs, from confident, social cats to shy, anxious, or senior companions who require patience and gentle handling.

I’m comfortable with: Senior cat routines Administering oral medications Cleaning and maintaining litter areas Supporting shy or cautious cats who need slow introductions Following detailed feeding schedules and household rules Young and playful cats My approach is calm, observant, and respectful of each cat’s boundaries.

Whether your cat is playful, independent, or needs extra support, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps them comfortable and stress‑free while you’re away.
“Sydney was so loving and kind with River and Oskar. She kept me up to date with visit and provided pictures of my boys. She took her time each visit made sure the boys got enough time to potty and even have them sun bathe outside. This made my trip much easier. My boys loved Sydney the moment she came to meet Oskar and River. She is professional and someone you can fully trust taking care of your pups. I appreciate Sydney’s help on such short notice. I look forward in booking her services in the future .”
“Stacy was fantastic. She watched my cats and kept the litter boxes clean, water bowl clean and full, and even swept and cleaned up excess cat litter and cat hair balls. I highly recommend Stacy and would book with her again.”
“Awesome, friendly and got along with all of the dogs just fine. Definitely came through for me at the last minute and saved me a huge headache. Will definitely have her take care of the kiddos again!”

“Randallyn takes such great care of my cats that I do not think twice about having to leave them behind, and I never worry about them while I am gone. She is reliable and communicative - the best attributes in a pet sitter! I have a long trip planned in a few months and am already looking to book with Randallyn again!”
“Amazing as always!!! Iris loves to see Madalyn coming and gets so excited. Madalyn takes great care of Iris and I know Iris is in good hands when I go on vacation and Madalyn watches her.”
“After encountering a locked house due to the buyer locking everything earlier in the day, Echo went above and beyond! Even in the middle of personal tasks, she made sure to stop by two additional times in order to finally gain entry and look after my cats. It's really a shame I'm leaving the area, because I definitely see myself hiring Echo again, were I to stay.”
About: 3 fur baby of my own a German Shepherd (Kira) and my cats (Biscuits and Gravy) I believe that pets are part of the family just as much as anyone else. I will love and care for your pet as if they are my own and with 3 kids your pets will have the proper care and attention they deserve. We enjoy most days in our backyard playing fetch and running around exploring the neighborhood. I believe our fur babies should be included in our day to day activities and shown they are loved and part of this family. I hope you find me to be the right fit to care and love your fur baby so you do not have to worry. I am available throughout the day for drop ins and walks. I am very flexible to have your pet stay with me at my house. I have a fully fenced backyard or am capable of crating if needed. They will sleep inside every night and will never be left outside.

About: I've cared for pets my entire life - from 3 cats growing up, to currently owning 2 dogs. I've also walked dogs professionally and managed a doggy daycare center. I firmly believe pets are full-fledged members of the family and I treat them with the associated attention and care. It's my mission to provide the safest and most enjoyable place to leave your dog/dogs when you're in need of day care or boarding! I'm available to supervise all day and completely flexible to the needs of your pet! Your doggos will have full access to a shaded yard designed from the ground up specifically for dogs! Meet and greet and pick up/drop off times are between 3pm-6pm 7 days per week. Pick up/drop off times can be more flexible if necessary. Areas available to the doggies can be seen on photos 26 through 30! Must be provided by client: Dog food and treats Dog collar Dog leash Dog harness Daily activity included with your purchase: Supervised free reign of shade and rain covered backyard (see profile photos). 2 meals per day unless otherwise specified (food and treats must be provided by client as to avoid stomach upset) NOTE: If no food, or not enough food is provided, I will happily feed your dog what I feed my dogs, however I am not responsible for any digestive issues that may result. Note: In the event of a potty accident, I do use dog diapers from that point going forward. Diapers are always freshly washed for your dog. Lots of petting, toys, and play! Note: Dogs enjoy unlimited water access, however, are cut off before bedtime, usually around 7pm-8pm. Individual dog crate with a bed for sleeping. I have large and extra-large crates dedicated to clients' dogs.

If more frequent photos are desired, please don't hesitate to ask! Photo update includes a picture and any relevant information about your dog's health and wellness (are they eating/drinking normally, did they get a cut on their foot during play and how did I treat it, etc.). Disclaimers: It is required that your pup/pups be on flea/tick medication at the time of boarding/daycare. In the event of a health emergency, there are animal hospitals close to me, however they have conventional hours of operation. As a result, outside conventional hours, I would be required to take a trip to Chico, CA where there is a 24-hour animal hospital. NOTE: An emergency contact is required. Tips are always welcome but never expected. If you feel I provided satisfactory service, a positive review is greatly appreciated!

“Lorrie has a large beautiful fenced in property with lots of space for dogs to safely roam and play. Her home is warm and welcoming with toys and different areas to hang out. Lorrie has great communication. My dogs came home happy, calm and tired.”
“Teagan was great! She was able to pick my baby up (since I work so early) making is easier on me and Yecca. She kept me informed. Yecca had plenty of attention and was able to roam outside. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Teagan for the day and plan to use her many more times. You can tell she is a genuine person and caring which is the main thing I look for.”

“Jessie is very accommodating. She’s very good with communicating and sending pictures. Cleo was in very good spirits when I got her back and she was very tired because she just played the whole time. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Fair price, good communication and overall really good with animals.”
“Craig was amazing. He responded quickly to our last minute booking request. My dog is difficult to say the least. He definitely put her first and gave us so dog-free time on our weekend getaway to Pismo. If he could handle our Molly then I’m pretty sure he can handle any dog out there!”
“While traveling through the area and we needed a sitter for our puppy for the day. Shawna was very warm and welcoming to us an our puppy.

For dogs: I use steady, confident leash handling, stick to familiar walking routes, and avoid overstimulation. I watch body language closely, support positive behavior, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and comfort. Safety is always the priority, secure harnesses, controlled entrances/exits, and mindful interactions. Communication & trust: You’ll receive clear updates, honest notes, and photos every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, and I work to make each visit predictable, safe, and worry‑free.
“Beau immediately liked Shannon when she came over for a meet and greet. I booked her for that following Saturday for a walk. I let her know Beau doesn't like to walk when it's hot out and so she came later in the day which was perfect. She sent me a few pictures of Beau while they were out on their walk. I will be booking Shannon again!”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including different breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I work remotely, which means your pet will have constant supervision, and attention throughout the day. I treat every pet how I would want mine treated and strive to provide a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home and have for over 5 years. This allowed the time to really watch over your pet and being able to handle anything they need. I have a fenced in small back yard. My apartment also offers locations to walk dogs and allow them to poop and get some extra room.
About: I currently moved to the Redding area. I'm available for dog walking and drop in visits. I have been fostering dogs since 2018.

I live a very active life and walking dogs is a delight! I have a very flexible schedule and I am home during the day. I have the ability to take dogs for a walk during the day and meet needs as they arise I have two children. They both know animal etiquette and care, but dogs must be comfortable around high energy children. I have a smaller, but well secured backyard. Big enough for small to medium/large dogs to have space to run and/or lounge in the sun or shade. Half of the yard is shaded 90% of the day. I lived across the street from a very nice park with a lake I can walk them around weather permitting. My main floor of the house is completely tiled, so occasional accidents are no big deal.
About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals, the best possible life and experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and cared for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover, so should you choose to have me in your house? I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.

Please give me a try and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I can walk up to 4 miles per trip if needed. The cost may remain the same but perhaps a tip for a happy, healthy pet brought home safe to you. Take care. Please feel free to reach out to me to schedule a meet and greet and what works best for your furry family members. Can't wait! Although I don’t usually offer this service, exceptions are always welcome for consideration. I have walked dogs at lunch for clients and always make sure I leave the home exactly as I found it after each walk.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I’m a college student who works part-time, and pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available Wednesday through Sunday and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve.

“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”
“Nancy is amazing! My 9 month old puppy Arlo is a pitbull and pretty energetic he’s a big boy too and she loved on him so much. He stayed two days. Nancy sent me pictures and updated me so I wouldn’t worry. She has a huge fenced back yard my dog was able to play but also come in and nap on her furniture. When I picked him up he was happy as a clam! I would recommend and use Nancy again for sure! I thank her for treating my dog as her own.”
“I highly recommend Aimee! When dropping off for Benny's second stay, he ran inside and didn't look back. Normally he displays some separation anxiety, but not this time. He is very comfortable returning to Aimee's house. and so am I!”
“I feel so blessed to have found Carley! My pup Faith has special needs and I never leave her with anyone but Carley.. it's so wonderful to know that she is being taken care of just like she's at home with me, so I'm not worried and I can have fun. Faith loves her time when she gets to stay with Carley and her friends!”
“We cannot recommend Jared highly enough. From our very first interaction, his attention to detail and professionalism set him apart. He took the time to ask thoughtful, specific questions about our dog’s routines, preferences, quirks, and health history—everything from feeding schedules and portion sizes to behavioral cues and comfort habits. It was clear he wasn’t just “watching a dog”; they were committed to understanding and caring for our dog. Communication was exceptional throughout. We received consistent updates—photos, positive words about our dog’s behavior and how much he enjoyed watching our dog. Every message reassured us that our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and engaged. His knowledge of dog care was evident in both small and significant ways. He demonstrated confidence in handling, situational awareness on walks, and an understanding of canine behavior that gave us complete peace of mind. He was proactive rather than reactive, anticipating needs before they became issues. Our dog can be particular, yet he adapted seamlessly and respected established routines while building trust. What truly stood out was his authenticity. There was nothing transactional about his care—it was thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and that sincerity showed in every interaction. If you are looking for someone who blends professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness, and heartfelt care, his is extraordinary. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”
“Isaiah was an absolute blessing! Due to unexpected circumstances, we had to find a last minute sitter for our 1 year old Cane corso/pit mix(dax). Now... knowing the ball of energy and at times very talkative dog we have. We were worried that Dax would be too much for even the most patient of dog sitters. Isaiah was absolutely amazing with him! Dax instantly took a liking to him at our meet and greet, and they soon became friends.”
“Ashley was great, everything went smoothly from drop off to pick up to communication in between. She went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable with disabilities. We've already rescheduled for our next trip. So glad I found this home away from home for my dogs.”
“Lorrie was fantastic! We were able to book with her last minute for a weekend trip we needed to go on with late notice. She sent tons of pictures and videos of our girls and always kept us updated on how they were doing. Our girls had so much fun and got so much energy out they came home exhausted and very happy 😊”

About: My name is Jessica! I am 21 years old and I am originally from Brentwood, California. I just graduated last week from College and I have officially moved into my first apartment here in Redding. I am looking for clients that I can gain their trust to watch their animals in Redding. In high school I had a couple families back home that I was always on their list to watch their animals and I would love to be on your list as well. I have my own car and I am willing to take your animals on walks and to outdoors areas to play if you would like. I have a huge love for all animals but unfortunately I can't have any animals in my apartment so this will be perfect to get my animal fix for the weekend. I am very reliable, organized, and trustworthy. I would love to help you and your family out! Thank you for your time. Pet care fits into my daily routine by going home during my breaks at work to let animals out. Weekends are a huge part in taking care of animals for people when they go on vacation. I plan on taking care of the animals any way the owners do like in their own home. I will play with them and keep them active.
About: I’ve always been around animals ever since I was little- horses, goats, chickens, cats, dogs- you name it! I love animals and taking care of them. The company of a set of paws is one of the most comforting and rewarding things. I know how much a bond between a pet parent and pet means, and will go above and beyond to make sure an owner is content when away from their fluffy family member. I promise to ensure peace of mind that they are cared for and happy, whether it’s a wagging tail or a purring tummy. I’ve been pet-sitting and walking for my neighbors since I was young, and care for each pet as if it were my very own. I’m currently almost entirely available! Any walks or home check in times needed, I can do them! I’m happy to go for morning and evening strolls with a pup, or check in on a kitty a time a day or more to make sure your fur baby is happy and healthy. I care for clients’ pets by walking their dogs, feeding pets, administering medication such as flea medication, cleaning litter boxes and lawns, and more as required.
About: Been raised around cats, dogs, and farm atmosphere my whole life, raised my first dog at 8 years old. Have been watching pets for friends, family, and acquaintances for almost a decade. I can watch any day of the week, Monday - Friday I can’t stay all day. I have no problem with being at the house for majority of the day. I live on a 5 acre land with plenty of space for pets to roam. There is also BLM land right behind the house with a trail by the creek to walk. Along with a spacious home. When house sitting I stay with the pets according to rules and instructions set by the owner.
“Jean was amazing!! Charlie was so loved during his stay . He made new friends and i was so impressed with how comfortable he was at pick up . Highly recommend 🩷 you can really tell she loves what she does . Great yard to play and a very welcoming home Definitely will go with her again”
“Rionnagh was incredibly responsive, friendly, and communicative throughout our experience. She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos of our dog, which we greatly appreciated. When we needed last-minute accommodations, Ri was accommodating and made the process seamless. Though her location was a bit out of the way, we’d happily use her services again for her excellent care and reliability.”
“Jessie did a great job taking care of my pup while I was away. Jessie was friendly as were her dogs. I got photos daily and updates on what Jovi was up. I appreciated the quality care and highly recommend Jessie and her "pack" to anyone looking for dog care.”
“Lisa looked after our 6 Month puppy over a long weekend. The whole process with Lisa was great. Communication and booking went smoothly and when we dropped our dog off she asked all the right questions - schedule, dog temperament, no touch zones. Our dog needed some daily medication and Lisa took care of it. Lisa’s yard is great; fenced, grassy and shady, so our pup could run and frolick. This combined with walks ensured she got her puppy wiggles out. I would book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love your furry friend as much as you do.”
