“Alicia did just an outstanding job with Lucky our cat during our 10 day trip! From the twice-daily pics she sent, we could quickly see that Lucky had a new best friend and really enjoyed their visits together! Alicia even went out of her way to clean up an oops! Lucky made by eating a little too quickly...See was extremely conscientious in her work & went out of her way to make sure the house was secure & safe for us! We will definitely use her services again‼️”

“Both of my dogs eagerly await Brandi's visits. She walks my puppy, gives treats to my senior chihuahua, and sends me a detailed summary along with great pictures. I love knowing my pets are safe and well taken care of with Brandi.”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. I currently have cats and big dogs, but before them I had a senior Yorkie with special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).
About: Even though I have had dogs and cats my whole life, I also have spent many volunteer hours within Animal Shelters around the country. I am not afraid of med time (pills and needles are not a problem), cleaning kennels and vomit, or walking the biggest dogs ... as long as I get some snuggle time! I am not a trained vet tech, so you will need to show me amounts if needles are needed. I currently work part time, day side, on weekends, as needed! (Whew thats a mouthful) Which means I have plenty of time for walks and check ins of your furry loved ones. I am known for bringing a notepad and a pen around with me, but that is so I make sure I get your and your pets routine down! I dont want to disrupt their day!
