“Tammi did an outstanding job with our two dogs-a very active 4 yr old Cardigan Welsh Corgi and an 11 yr old Pocket Beagle who takes thyroid meds twice a day. We travel frequently, but this was the first time our dogs didn't stay at home with our usual pet sitter, as she wasn't available; so having someone we could trust was super important. We met Tammi a few days before our trip and found her to be very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about dogs and very loving to her current boarders, as well as her own four dogs she has rescued. Her home is an ideal location with a fenced property of 3+acres, a spacious deck with dog beds, a ramp and ample water bowls. She even had a kiddie pool filled with water so the dogs could cool off while playing. Inside, she has a great set up, with areas gated off as needed on one floor. Our dogs aren't typically crated and I loved that they weren't crated at Tammi's. We were encouraged to bring their dog beds, which they slept on, just like home. Tammi sent us pictures of our pups throughout the weekend and they were obviously enjoying themselves. When we returned home, they slept. Hard. It was clear that they had been active, which made us very happy. I can't say enough good things about Tammi and her husband. Our dogs got attention, socialized with other dogs, were carefully supervised and loved on. What a relief to know they didn't spend their weekend crated with only 3-4 scheduled potty breaks in a run. These folks love dogs and it shows. We will be back! I'm looking at my calendar now to book future trips!”
“Abbie was amazing! From the time we did our meet-and-greet, we knew her home would be a great fit for Kobe. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Kobe had a blast playing with her dogs! She was also very accommodating to a modified pickup time after we experienced flight delays. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Very communicative and flexible. Kept us updated the entire stay with videos and pictures without us having to ask. Would highly recommend this sitter for your fur babies she treats them like they’re her own!”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Angel did a great job taking care of our German Shepherd for a week. We received pictures and updates throughout her stay. Very quick to reply and arrange drop off/pickup times.”
“Simon loved staying with Dana! Dana sent pictures throughout Simons stay and made sure to answer any questions we had. It was a home away from home for Simon. I would book again and I highly recommend!”
“Hailey was great ! Booking was easy and I was able to ask the questions I needed before completing the booking ! While I was on my trip my 2 dogs were able to play in group play and I got updated and even pictures! Hailey assured me my babies were getting taken care of! I was running a few hours behind and she was able to make modifications to my trip which was very easy ! When I got my pups they had cute bandannas on and smelled like they got a bath which was a nice touch ! She told me her back ground with dogs and she forsure has lots of experience! This was my first time doing something like this but I’d book with her again !!”
“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“Sadie and Lola had the best stay!! The updates were great and we loved receiving pictures of our girls! Nothing is better than the reassurance knowing pups are in the best care!! My girls will be back soon!!”
“Rachel was amazing! She was overly communicative, loved our puppy, and was incredibly patient with him. The other dogs in the house got along great with ours and he came back looking better than when we dropped him off. Could not recommend her or her services enough! Thanks again Rachel; Rizzo already misses you.”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“My dog, Dolly, loves staying with Patricia. She has stayed with her multiple times and I have peace of mind knowing she is loved and well cared for. I appreciate the daily updates and photos that Patricia provides. So thankful to have such a wonderful trustworthy dog sitter who I know truly cares for my baby 💕”
“Had a wonderful experience with Matthew and Jill. They were very sweet and gave us great updates while we were boarding our two dogs. Would highly recommend!”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Fantastic, trustworthy pet sitter. I was nervous to leave my fur baby and Jane did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and keeping me updated while I was away.”

“Kasey and her husband took great care of our 4 kitties while we went out of town. They were so friendly and genuinely seemed happy to get to meet our cats. We knew they would be in great hands! They will definitely be our first choice for pet sitters in the future.”
“Brooke was great with my kitty. She came in daily for a week and I could tell Ravi was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Brooke to all! This was my first time using Rover and Brooke was very responsive which put me at ease.”
“Abigail did a great job with drop-in visits for my cats while I was away on vacation. She communicated well and I felt comfortable with her taking care of my cats. I recommend Abigail if you are looking for a pet sitter.”
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”
“Edith arrived promptly with a warm smile and a gentle voice to greet Louie. She clearly knows how to handle an excitable dog. Her experience and calm manner did the trick so he could enjoy her company on their walk. We are so thankful to have met and hired her!”
“Katherine did a great job taking care of my three cats. She did everything I asked and even sent me pictures of them. Her fee was very reasonable. I will use her to watch my cats again in the future if needed!”

“Hello Amy !! I’m soooo happy he finally came out to play !! Txs for the pictures too !! BTW.. I forgot to mention that the trash can is on the far side of the garage but ur welcome to leave it just outside the laundry room door (ie in the garage) Many Thanks ;)”
“Kelsey was great! She took care of my 3 cats when my husband and I had to leave town suddenly due to a death in the family. She responded quickly and was able to meet us within hours to go over the pets so we could leave asap. She made sure to give us a daily update with pictures of our babies. And she left our house so clean (cleaner than it was when we left). She empty and refilled the cats' litter box, cleaned the counters, and vacuum! We will definitely book her again.”
“I was in town for a funeral and needed a place to board my cat. Payton was available and was able to watch him for about 8 hours. She kept him in a comfortable space away from her pets and even sent me a photo to assure me that he was adjusting to the surroundings. I would highly recommend Payton to anyone wishing to board their pet in the Northern Kentucky area.”
“The cat sitter was impressively responsive, promptly addressing any inquiries or updates. Their quick communication added a reassuring layer to the pet-sitting experience.”
“My adorable Kitten absolutely loved Alyssa as her caretaker when I was gone for two weeks. I can tell they loved each other and became best of friends right from the start. That means the most, it assures me that my fur baby is happy and safe with Alyssa. She did an amazing job entertaining Kitten and updating me with lots of photos! I will be using Alyssa again in the near future and would highly recommend her for your pets.”
“Andrea dropped in on our pups and was fantastic!! She came at the time she said she would be there, sent several pictures with an update, played with them and even gave them some treats. They loved her! Highly recommend! Thank you Andrea! ☺️”

“Dianna responded very quickly and it was great to have Xena with another Blue Merle Aussie. Cared for her for the day while we went to the Ark Encounter and sent pictures of play time and walking. Would use Dianna again if we li Ed nearby.”
“Sadie and Lola had the BEST day playing with their new friends! I’ve had a lot of experience with Rover and could easily see that my girls felt welcomed and cared for throughout their stay! Jamie was quick and efficient in responding to all my questions. I received updates and pictures throughout the day and could see my girls were in the best of hands! Sadie and Lola will be back soon! I highly recommend Jamie!”
About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.

People have kept me as their sitter for years because they know they can count on me to be responsible, attentive, communicative, & honest with them while their babies are in my care! 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I’m down-to-earth, calm, and will always be patient & kind to animals of any kind and will respect your home with utmost care. 🏡💕 When you are missing your babies, don’t hesitate to ask for an extra picture or video of them if you want more!

Whether it is sitting, boarding, walking, or basic grooming, I will provide the home away from home for them by meticulously following directions for specific exercise regimens, dietary restrictions, training (e.g. taking a puppy out to potty every 30-45 min. & rewarding with praise & treat), medication administration, etc. 🍼🧴🧸🎾💊🦮 I will NEVER, under any circumstance, use punishment or fear-instilling tactics.

“Ruth and her husband took excellent care of Murphy (my dog) they made their home, his home, and their fenced in back yard was wonderful for potty breaks! Thank you both so very much! You helped both Murphy and I feel right at home and so comfortable! We both enjoyed our vacation time!!! It was a real pleasure meeting you both!”

About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
About: I’ve spent the past few years caring for dogs and cats, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic grooming. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being reliable and kind with every animal I look after. Working from home with a 23-month-old means I already have a rhythm centered on care, attention, and being present. Pet care fits smoothly into this lifestyle — from morning walks (a great start to the day for both pets and toddlers!) to scheduled feeding times and regular play breaks. My flexible schedule lets me respond to pets' needs throughout the day, whether it's a cuddle, a potty break, or a bit of extra attention. With my child learning to be gentle and kind around animals, it's a home environment that’s calm, loving, and perfect for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a fenced balcony where your pet can safely relax and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Our complex also features a secure, fenced-in pet park that’s perfect for playtime and running off energy, plus plenty of open space for regular walks and exploring.
About: Warning ⚠️! Your furry companion will be worn out with fun activities in my large fenced in backyard, with additional happy walks and hikes. When it's time to rest, they will enjoy relaxing in my spacious clean home with plenty of love and care. I am a stay-at-home mom with children who attend summer camps. Drop off can be as early as 7:00 a.m. and for overnight stays 6:00 p.m. Pick up times can be negotiated. Large safe neighborhood, in the heart of Independence. You can trust that I will be with your pet for most of the day and I always let the owners know if I have errands to run or appointments to attend. My children are 7 and 10 years old, they absolutely love animals. They have been educated on the proper way to approach and play with dogs and cats. At no time will the children be left with your pet alone. When my husband is in town, he arrives home around 5:45 every evening and is a big dog lover. He misses having a dog but travels too much for the military.
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
“Hailey was wonderful! We needed a short notice drop off for a few hours while we went to a museum, and she responded quickly, was so sweet with our dog and sent us photos even though it was only a few hours. She is great! Highly recommended!”

“My dog had a fabulous time with Amy and her other dogs. I was from out of State and was nervous to leave my girl with a stranger, but she showed me around and explained her setup and system of care. It put me at ease. My dog went off wagging her tail with Amy without even looking back at me. Amy texted me updates and pictures of my dog during the day. I would recommend Amy to everyone who loves their dog.”
“Lisa was so flexible when i needed to extend our dogs stay with her later into the night last minute. She was very understanding and we were so appreciative of her!”
“We were on our way to the Ark Encounter and needed a place for our two dogs to stay. Mariah and Anthony were kind enough to take them in for the day. Our dogs felt right at home. They have a nice fenced in back yard and was very safe for them to play in. Their two German Shepherds were very nice and friendly and got a long great with our two dogs. Mariah and Anthony were very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we were in the area.”
“Allison is a fantastic dog sitter! My dog loves going to her house and playing with her Great Danes. Allison is wonderful with the animals and is fabulous to work with. We are so lucky to have found her!”

And a special shout out to her son who also took some special time with Brooklyn. I was at peace of mind the entire time I was away. Thank you!!!”

About: I walk the dogs at the animal shelter when I have extra time. I have done this on and off for about 3 years when I can. I work part time night shift and I’m in school 3 or 4 mornings a week, but I often have time in the afternoons and weekends. I have grown up with dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and 1 large dog at home and have always loved the company of animals.
“Melissa clearly LOVES dogs. Gracie loved her immediately and was happy to go in the car with her to the park for a walk. Gracie didn't last the entire hour and Melissa didn't pressure Gracie to walk farther than she wanted to. She read Gracie's body language and responded appropriately.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets regularly since 2017, but I’ve loved pets for much longer. Once I adopted my first dog Mia, my love for her grew into a love for every dog I lay eyes on, and I quickly became the designated sitter for all my friends’ pets. I’ve done it all from staying at their houses, taking their pets into my house, popping in for walks or play dates, and even taking in lost animals off the street to reunite them with their owners. Anything that gives me a chance to show an animal love and genuine care sets my heart aglow. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, and that’s why when I pet sit, I treat your pets like my own because I know that’s exactly what I would want for Mia. I know every animal is different and I work with pet owners to set a plan for their pet and I follow it to a tee to keep the pet’s routine as regular as possible while the owner is away. I have extensive experience working with senior pets and pets with health problems (Mia being one herself), and I know first hand how important it is to find someone you trust to leave your pet with, especially if there are health issues, while you are gone. I relish the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby(or plural!) and would love to chat about a sitting care plan with you! More of my story: It all started when we adopted my family’s first fur baby when I was 8. As an only child, I’d begged my parents for a pet for years and they finally gave in when I was in the third grade. We adopted the last kitten left of the litter at the local pound. She was a black kitten that I named Roxy. Roxy and I were inseparable during my childhood, and I can’t imagine what it would have been like growing up without her. In 2017 when I got a place of my own that allowed pets, I adopted my first dog. Found on the streets, malnourished, severely underweight and her hair lost to mites, she had just given birth to a litter. I was volunteering as a dog walker at the local shelter at the time, and when I met her, I knew from that moment that my volunteer gig had turned into something much greater. I adopted her, and 9 years later, Mia and I are one and the same. Pet sitting is my only job so I have extensive availability for you and your pet(s) and can focus solely on your pet’s needs while you are away.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently own a dachshund and 2 cats. I work at night so always home during the day. genuine passion for making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping up with medications and schedules, I make sure your pet gets the same love and attention they would at home. I’m especially patient with puppies and dogs who need extra reassurance, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I work night shift, and I’m off Friday and Saturday, so I’m home all day, and I wake up often to take my puppy to potty. I have a dachshund that is always willing to play with anyone.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have continued to care for close friends and family’s pets for many years. My main goal is to always make any animal feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, and turtles. I’ll always have a soft spot for dogs, but I’m happy to care for any kind of pet from all walks of life! I’ve helped raise dogs from just being born - to sitting for some that were adopted or transitioned from previous owners who were no longer able to take care of them. No matter the situation, I’m always happy to adjust to their needs and take care of them as if they are my own!!! I work full time in a flexible hybrid position that allows me to provide care throughout the week. My work is local and only a 20-minute drive from Union, KY. While I work full time, I’m able to take care of your pet during my lunch breaks and can care for them in my home on the days I work remote. Otherwise, I’m available anytime after 5pm on weekdays and have all-day availability on weekends. If needed, I’m more than happy to stay overnight weekdays and/or weekends! I live in an apartment complex that is very pet friendly, there’s open sidewalks to walk around as well as a newly opened dog park and dog spa. I’d be happy to watch your pet all day while I work from home or can care for them after I get off work. Our apartment is very safe and situated in close proximity to various areas (10 minutes from Florence, 15-20 minutes from Hebron). I care for every pet I meet by understanding their needs and ensuring they’re always in a safe, well-maintained environment.

“Tammi did an outstanding job with our two dogs-a very active 4 yr old Cardigan Welsh Corgi and an 11 yr old Pocket Beagle who takes thyroid meds twice a day. We travel frequently, but this was the first time our dogs didn't stay at home with our usual pet sitter, as she wasn't available; so having someone we could trust was super important. We met Tammi a few days before our trip and found her to be very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about dogs and very loving to her current boarders, as well as her own four dogs she has rescued. Her home is an ideal location with a fenced property of 3+acres, a spacious deck with dog beds, a ramp and ample water bowls. She even had a kiddie pool filled with water so the dogs could cool off while playing. Inside, she has a great set up, with areas gated off as needed on one floor. Our dogs aren't typically crated and I loved that they weren't crated at Tammi's. We were encouraged to bring their dog beds, which they slept on, just like home. Tammi sent us pictures of our pups throughout the weekend and they were obviously enjoying themselves. When we returned home, they slept. Hard. It was clear that they had been active, which made us very happy. I can't say enough good things about Tammi and her husband. Our dogs got attention, socialized with other dogs, were carefully supervised and loved on. What a relief to know they didn't spend their weekend crated with only 3-4 scheduled potty breaks in a run. These folks love dogs and it shows. We will be back! I'm looking at my calendar now to book future trips!”
“Abbie was amazing! From the time we did our meet-and-greet, we knew her home would be a great fit for Kobe. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Kobe had a blast playing with her dogs! She was also very accommodating to a modified pickup time after we experienced flight delays. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Very communicative and flexible. Kept us updated the entire stay with videos and pictures without us having to ask. Would highly recommend this sitter for your fur babies she treats them like they’re her own!”
“Hailey was great ! Booking was easy and I was able to ask the questions I needed before completing the booking ! While I was on my trip my 2 dogs were able to play in group play and I got updated and even pictures! Hailey assured me my babies were getting taken care of! I was running a few hours behind and she was able to make modifications to my trip which was very easy ! When I got my pups they had cute bandannas on and smelled like they got a bath which was a nice touch ! She told me her back ground with dogs and she forsure has lots of experience! This was my first time doing something like this but I’d book with her again !!”
“Sadie and Lola had the best stay!! The updates were great and we loved receiving pictures of our girls! Nothing is better than the reassurance knowing pups are in the best care!! My girls will be back soon!!”
“Rachel was amazing! She was overly communicative, loved our puppy, and was incredibly patient with him. The other dogs in the house got along great with ours and he came back looking better than when we dropped him off. Could not recommend her or her services enough! Thanks again Rachel; Rizzo already misses you.”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“My dog, Dolly, loves staying with Patricia. She has stayed with her multiple times and I have peace of mind knowing she is loved and well cared for. I appreciate the daily updates and photos that Patricia provides. So thankful to have such a wonderful trustworthy dog sitter who I know truly cares for my baby 💕”
“Had a wonderful experience with Matthew and Jill. They were very sweet and gave us great updates while we were boarding our two dogs. Would highly recommend!”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“This was our second time leaving Cooper with Joseph & Tasha and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They send updates and quick to respond when corresponding. Cooper is always super happy and exhausted after a stay with them- we will def be using them in the future!”
“Karen was very helpful and my dog Dex had a great time when he spent the weekend with her and her family. She sent updates, and pictures of him while i was gone which was great to see. She was also very flexible with pickup and drop off times, and worked with me to arrange the times which was very helpful. Karen is very knowledgeable about dogs and will put effort into making sure that your dog enjoys his vacay. I highly recommend Dog Gone Fun Camp for your dog's vacation.”
“Michael was wonderful with Pep. Didn't know if she was aggressive/fearful of dogs (especially with me not being there) but Michael had a plan from day one and did things safely and professionally. Was well updated the entire time she was there, and she was certainly tired from all the playing she did while I was gone. Very easy recommendation from me, will use again.”
“Chrissy and her family are great. I got daily updates while my dog was staying with them. They kept their 2 dogs in another room briefly when we first showed up to give my dog time to adjust and then brought them out for introductions (which was seamless). Thanks Chrissy!”
“Second time my dog stays with Cori and her family and certainly will not be the last! (she’s going back next weekend!) Cori is the best and will truly care for your fur baby.”
“My pup had the best time with Kelti and Tanner! They were able to watch Ted last minute which was super helpful. They kept me update the whole time we were gone and my pup passed out the second we got home because he was so tired from playing all weekend! Would definitely ask them to watch my fur child again!”
