“Beth took great care of our German shepherd, Bella. Bella was so excited to see Beth again. We know she loves her! I always know I'm leaving her in great hands. Bella had back surgery in March, and had a bit of a setback the first day we were gone. Beth was quick to let us know and describe what was going on, and took great care of her. She recovered quickly. The house was immaculate when we came home. We love being able to get away and know Bella will be super happy the whole time we're gone. She almost pushes us out the door so she can stay with her Auntie Beth.”


“Christine accommodated a last minute schedule change where we needed her 2 extra days. She was patient and loving with my very scared boy. He was comfortable and happy in no time thanks to her TLC. She left my home immaculate. I felt so much more at ease knowing she was watching my precious pup. Thank you times a million for making our first time leaving Sport so much easier. Also, the pictures were very much appreciated.”


“Courtney was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Max, followed all his care instructions, and provided photos and updates regularly. She also left my apartment spotless and was an extremely respectful house guest.”


“Alicia connected extremely well with our dog and took great care of him while we left town for the weekend. She was able to administer medicine successfully. She also communicated with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and updates of how much fun they were having. She stayed the weekend to give our elderly dog extra support and took great care of the house by cleaning up after herself. We are thankful that we met and found someone who is respectful and cares so much for our dog.”


“Briana was fantastic! She responded quickly, communicated clearly throughout her stay, and followed all instructions perfectly. Our pets were happy and well cared for. The house was in great shape when we returned, and everything was just as we left it. She shared pictures and it was clear that everyone was having a wonderful time with her. We will definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter.”


“Rachel was amazing! The dogs seemed very calm and well cared for upon our return. The house was just as clean as when we left and we felt she went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Rachel was wonderful about sending updates and took some beautiful photos of our kiddos. I can’t recommend her enough.”


About: I've had a wide array of pets my entire life - dogs, birds, bunnies, hamsters and cats. I'm extremely understanding of their needs, while gentle and fun. My whole life i've made myself knowledgeable about animals, and continue to educate myself about different types of animals/dog breeds. Their traits and strong senses are fascinating. I'm always thinking about the wants of each type of breed. And, I have a private garden for my apartment, for private, safe and healthy dog-walking. My communication is excellent, and I will send fun photos of your pet while on the job, reminding you they are in safe and fun hands! I'm extremely punctual, organized and responsible - for every dog walking schedule and short-term boarding I will be there for your pet(s).
