“Mariah kept me updated with pics and texts on a daily basis. She said my 2 big German Sheperds were no problem and great to handle. Her responses to my check-ins were quick and great. I will definitely book with Mariah again. You can't go wrong with her pet care. Thank You, Mariah.”
“Michelle (and her family) were great with taking my dog (Great Dane) very last minute for a few days. They treated my pup like he was their own, kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable with him there as this was our first time having to take our dog to someone outside our family. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
“Amber is truly a dog lover. Her children also love dogs and keep them entertained. We are so glad we crossed paths with her because our dogs never had a dull moment and were entertained the whole time. Amber kept us updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures. We highly recommend using her!”

About: Hi there! My name is Lexie, i am 25 years old and I am well experienced with dogs specifically because I used to be a dog groomer! Pets in general have always been a loving passion of mine and i love making them pretty, safe, and loved. I specifically love petsitting, making sure they’re cared for and safe all while having fun with them. I myself own two bulldogs as well as a bearded dragon, therefore im familar and experienced with all different types of animals. No scales or different types of pets would scare me. While i am a server at a local restaurant, i still have plently of availability to tend to your pet! With having Sundays and Mondays off, and only working in the evenings on most other nights makes it really easy to be around the majority of the time sith your beloved pet. I intend on coming to you and your home for your pet so they are in a familar space and hopefully will leave less anxious feelings. My goal is for us to always be safe and comfortable while still having a blast. Daily walks and one on one time with the pets are extremely important to me as I never want a pet to feel anxious or scared while you’re away. I also keep a written planner with up to date information of everything i need to know about the animals as well as scheduled feedings, medicines, appointments, etc.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Saxton
“Watson had a great experience with Mike and his crew. I was looking for a sitter to keep watch of Watson for an afternoon while I explored the mountain bike trails at Raystown lake. Mike lives super super close to the trailhead so that was very convenient. He took great care of Watson giving him multiple walks and kept me informed with regular updates. Will definitely be reaching out to Mike next time I am back to the area.”

“Kayla was very friendly and helpful in setting up some time for Jax to stay with her and Jax seemed to have a good time at her home. He even got to meet a cat for the first time. I plan on scheduling more daycare visits as well as other services with Kayla.”
“We left our dogs with Mariah while we attended a birthday party. She was very nice, and had a great environment for the dogs including a fenced in back yard. Mariah took very good care of them and sent me a few videos and pics (which was very much appreciated) of them playing and resting. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again! Thank you Mariah!!”
