Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!

I have never met someone who cares so much about animals, especially dogs! Unfortunately his dog passed away about 2 weeks ago now and this is most definitely the right gig for Jaden. Someone who has been close to this man and his dog I have never seen anything like it…. Trust me your beloved pet with be in great hands. A man who cares truly so much that I can personally guarantee he will act like it is very own best friend.

Kaitlin is one of the most kind and caring caregiver to pets. She is so great in encouraging the dogs to run and play when she is with them and is able to build a quick and secure connection. She loves the outdoors and would make sure your loved pet would get the opportunity to explore. I highly recommend Kaitlin for pet needs. She’s simply the best!

Was so great squeezing us in last minute, went right over and let the dogs out. They had a blast with her, and she even messaged to get a towel to wipe their paws since it was wet out! Thank you!!!

Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, mostly medium to large-sized breeds. I helped care for my family's senior German shepard/Shiba in mix and have raised my current dog, Benji, since he was a pup. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and seeing their unique personalities come out. I am a full-time college student, but I’ve found myself with extra time in my schedule. I am hoping to broaden my experience with animal care as I may pursue a related career in the future. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings and keep dogs on a secure leash while still letting them explore. For longer visits, I follow their food and medicine schedule, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My Border Collie needs to be told when to take a break, so I’ll make sure your dog rests when needed to keep them happy and safe. ❤️

About: Cat mom that actively fosters cats and dogs with ARL. Dog sits for friends at their homes as well as walking them. My specialty is fostering bonds between cats and dogs. I'm working remotely for a company in Singapore while actively studying for a mid career switch. I'm flexible with time and can do multiple visits a day. I'm more comfortable with caring for your pet in their familiar environment and will walk the trails you do to keep their routine. Food, water, play time, walkies, chill time can all be planned! Will monitor stool for any health markers.

Priscilla loves dogs and happy helped us raise our litter of Great Pyrenees/Red Bone Coon Hound puppies. She was helpful in setting up our puppy area and keeping it clean. She came and helped me keep the puppies and Mom on their feeding schedule and did all our other chores as well. She lives her own animals and is very positive person.
