“Shae was an amazing, gracious, and generous hostess. Our dog Leo had a great time staying with her and her dog. Shae gave lots of feedback throughout the process and that was a relief as it was my first time doing something like this. I highly recommend Shae.”

“Kathleen was amazing with our dog! She took her on a last minute booking request and responded to it very quickly. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day while she was caring for our dog. Our dog came back happy and tired and we can tell she was well cared for! We are very happy with her service and will book again if we’re in the area”

“We absolutely loved having Elizabeth watch Nala and Winston! From the very first meet and greet, she put us completely at ease. We appreciated the photo and video updates. Elizabeth has two sweet dogs that were very affectionate and were ready to play with Nala. When we got home, our dogs were happy, and tired, and clearly well-loved. We will definitely be booking with her again when in the area.”

“Princess absolutely had a great time & loved the special attention to her needs. Highly recommend& will definitely book again when we’re back in the area! Thanks for caring for our special girl!”
“Julie is such a kindhearted person. You can tell she really dog sits because she enjoys animals. I appreciated the touching base from time to time to know how our Cavalier, Maggie who’s 13y/o was doing. I knew before we even dropped Maggie off that I trusted Julie. I highly recommend Julie.”

“Harper (a cat) is very shy and tends to hide from everyone. I adopted her about six months ago, knowing she needed special considerations, so having someone new in the house was potentially traumatic for her. Eric patiently cared for her while I was traveling and overcame her spooky tendencies. He has cared for my pets for several years and befriended a couple of difficult characters.”

About: I take care of my senior dog and have since she was a puppy. I love animals and am excited to walk and take care of those you love in your life. I'm working towards my masters and have a part time role, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I love to break my work day up by walking my dog, and I would love to walk yours too! I care for my dog through trust and support. I walk and feed her multiple times a day, and I make sure she gets the rest she needs.
“Elika was perfect for our Puma! She checked in with me every visit with details of Puma's feeding, water and pee and pooh activity. Elika was responsible, respectful and cautious in our home. We arrived home to our well cared for pet, that was happy to see us! When we need a sitter for Puma, Elika is the sitter for us!! Thanks again for your service, Jill”

“Shae was very accommodating to Bentley and took great care of him. Shae was informed that Bentley would be reserved and nervous at first and she offered great solutions until he came out of his shell. Bentley loved playing with Ginger once he got familiar with doggy day care. I would 100% recommend Shae.”

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. You can trust that I will take care of your fur babies the same as I do my own. They are part of the family and have rules to follow for everyone's benefit and safety.

“Elizabeth was excellent to work with coordinating our dog sitting appointment. I dropped my 3.5 year old Great Dane off around 10:00 AM and picked her up at 5:45 PM. Elizabeth sent me text and pictures throughout the day and her two dogs played and played with my big girl. They had mini pool time and inside pet relax time. My baby was exhausted when I picked her up. I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough!”

“Wonderful family! So welcoming, attentive and kind to our Chevy girl! Lots of video and photo coverage of her day with them along with so much play time and walks at the park. Chevy got along so well with Marley too, which was so lovely. Will 100% use them in the future for our day care needs!”

About: Since childhood I have had a special place in my heart for dogs, birds, rabbits, freshwater and tropical fish, snakes, hamsters and geckos, all of which I have loved over the years as pets. I have also cared for friends and clients horses, lambs, pigs, chickens, parrots, boas, cats, dogs and bearded dragons. I enjoyed my favorite childhood moments at peace in the forests, farmland and equestrian schools and ranches. I helped to train a friend’s large breed rescue dog to stay back and sit so that one could more easily enter or leave the home. I like to have good boundaries with animals and allow or facilitate what the owner and pet needs. I also consider plants to be just as important to care for as animals. I have a somewhat flexible weekly routine offering: + Drop-Ins (Mon-Sun) + House Sitting 1-7days or longer; may be arranged to provide full time in home care if/when I have no other daily bookings. + Walks 30 min (longer = adjusted rate) daily. + Please chat with me for detailed scheduling as my routines are subject to change. I provide care for pets in the safety of the familiar surroundings of their owners home and neighborhood, with respect for their home spaces, routines, schedules, and needs: offering overnight sitting, walks and daily care drop ins.
