“If I could give 100 stars on Kristy's review, I would give her that. I missed my fur babies while I was gone, but I didn't worry for 1 second. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages everyday. I could see they we're having the time of their lives. There's no doubt that I'll be calling on Kristy again in the future. She's the best I've every had!!”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of our two giant dogs. She communicated frequently and sent lots of photos. We definitely recommend her!”
About: I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life and they always love to hang out with me when I'm around. My friends tell me when I come over I spend more time playing with their dog than I do hanging out with them. Always stoked to meet more fur friends! Currently working part time sharpening clipper blades and scissors for groomers so I get to see local fur friends often and I have plenty of time to hang out with them. I am very good at intuitively knowing when a dog needs something when I take care of dogs in their home, and I am also very attentive to the preferences of the owner for any special treatment their pup might need. I prefer to get familiar with a new dog before bringing them to my house but I can be an excellent host! I have acres of land out at my place and tons of groomed trails to take them around me.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for atleast 10 years, for friends and family. I’ve become a pro walker and bather for furry friends. I’ve worked with seniors to puppies. I’ve given animals meds before as well! I’m currently working on my own hours as I please so I’m free for any walks or play time or just some good pets and treats! I have a big home with a big backyard, that isn’t fenced but I do that ties for pups that may need it but I don’t leave dogs unsupervised for potty time or playing fetch in the yard. I also have a kiddie pool for the pups that enjoy it like my lab puppy does! We love to take hikes around the area too so If your pup is up for it so am I! I do have 2 small dog crates for about 10lbs pups, and then I do have a crate for about a 70 lb pup if needed for anything. I also do have a lake property on the range with a dock that is available to use for hot summer days for pups that may be interested in jumping in and swimming!

Scott E.
“We have had Scott take care of our dogs on multiple occasions. We had an older whippet(who has now passed away), and a highly energetic lab. If we go anywhere we are likely taking them with us, but the situations that it wasn’t possible, Scott was always our first call. He was able to adhere to our older dog’s dietary instructions and also provide them both with adequate exercise as needed. He cared for them and made sure to give them the affection they both were accustomed to. Scott would be a great person to rely on to care for your dogs!”
Noel G.
“Noel takes great care of our families dogs always, and is an awesome dog mom to her own. She always is taking care of our pets when we leave town. And always gives them the cuddles and play time needed.”
