“She is wonderful and my dog had a blast. She was very communicative and sent multiple pictures of my pup throughout. She was flexible with drop off and pickup and offered to let me bring my dog to meet hers early to ease the introduction between them all if needed. I definitely recommend.”

“Tori and Malik were great! The first picture posted let me know Bonnie was very comfortable. They had a beautiful area to walk her and I could tell she was having a great time. So appreciative of their caring and loving feelings toward my Bon! A million thanks.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 2 years in our house and in others as well. I have two kids that help to learn responsibility, work ethic, and love!

About: I have always had people come to me to take care of their pets because to me they are family and they deserve that treatment. I am an athlete at SEMO so I don’t get to see animals often, but they are one of my most favorite things in the world. Besides school and sports they would be my main priority and it would mean a lot to take care of them when I am available. I can easily take care of your dog the way you would like me to, but if you feel the need for them to have extra care such as taking walks or playing catch I can do that as well.

“Jack told me he really enjoyed his stay with Emily. It was very easy to book, and the communication was excellent. She took very good care of him. He told me he wants to go back and visit soon. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and I will use her again.”

“Working with Amy and Aaron was a wonderful experience. Amy picked up my cats from the airport and housed them overnight when I got stranded in a blizzard. They did it on only a few hours notice, provided exemplary care, and even delivered them to me when I finally arrived in town. I’d use Amy and Aaron again in a heartbeat.”
