This is the first time this pup was left with a sitter and we felt very secure leaving her. We have used Morgan and her family before with our other pup and knew she would be taken care of and pictures were sent daily, along with communication on how she was doing.

About: I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently. We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.

Shelby is the perfect mix of friendly and attentive. My kitties were cared for while I was gone and they were happy when I got home. She sent so many pictures and videos which helped me feel so good about being so far away from my furbabies!! House was clean when I got home to a lovely thank you card and little gift. Shelby is awesome. So glad her schedule was open!! <3

About: I have pet/house sat for friends and family for over four years. Those animals have included anywhere from a Shih Tzu to a great Dane! I am good with doing household tasks as well. I love spending time with animals and I’m hoping to get the opportunity to meet yours! I have full open availability as I have just graduated from college and looking for a job! I’m hoping for at least 40 hours per week! If not totally okay:) A lot of my clients have me go to their homes and I love to walk the animals around town safely on the side walk or take them to the park!

Shelby was an awesome dog sitter for our pup, Piper! We found ourselves in a pinch and needed someone to watch her all day - turns out she’s right in our neighborhood! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone else - Shelby and her husband were great at drop off and then sent pics and videos throughout the day. I know Piper had a fun day and was in good hands. We will definitely be using Shelby again in the future!

I could not speak more highly of Shelby! I was traveling for my job and need a dog walker during lunch for my pup. Shelby took care of Archie like he was her own! I got so many photos and Archie was always in a good mood in the evenings!

Tee-Tee was amazing with Aspen and Ziggy. Ziggy is a large rescue with big feelings sometimes. I know others have had unfortunate experiences with sitters or walkers, but Tee-Tee is exceptional and will be brought back whenever our schedules align.
