JyZaree took excellent care of my senior dog. JyZaree communicated frequently. My dog got plenty of outdoor time and play time. My dog got along great with her dogs, which is important. I was quite pleased and I hope to be able to have JyZaree dogsit for us again, soon.

Because my doggo has pretty high anxiety, I was nervous to leave him overnight. But Stephen made it really easy by sending pictures/videos and updating me throughout my pups stay. I also loved that Stephen has a fenced in yard that my pup could enjoy the nice weather in. Stephen was incredibly patient with my nervous pup and it was greatly appreciated!

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to provide the care your pet is used to receiving at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

My Millie LOVED Briana! She let us schedule a meet-and-greet with her own pups. When we first arrived, Millie was so excited that she ran to the door to go in. When I picked her up, she seemed very happy and content. She was even a bit of a naughty girl and jumped out of the car to tell Briana bye one last time!

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‼️

I was traveling through the area with my 4 legged son Ruger and had a noodling tripped scheduled last minute and needed a sitter for him. Stephen was quick to respond and willing to hang out with Ruger for the day. I had an unforeseen incident which caused me to need to push the pick up time out a couple hours and Stephen was very understanding and flexible!

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!
