Colleen and Nick were amazing with our dog Scout! They came over and met her and really took the time to let her get used to them. We had a change in our plans and they were so flexible and accommodating! We loved the pictures and updates that we got after each visit. It felt so good to know that she was being taken care of. She typically barks (a lot) at people and she settled in quickly with Colleen and Nick so that was refreshing as well. Absolutely recommend these two!!! Also Nick reminded us about our mail that we forgot to consider so they picked that up for us as well and even asked about watering our plants. Seriously above and beyond!

Sharleen is amazing. We had some unexpected health issues arise during the time she was supposed to drop in. Due to my daughter being home I’ll, we no longer needed her to drop in. Sharleen was understanding and quick to respond to messages. I appreciate Sharleen’s patience and willingness to adapt to last minute changes. And as always she’s very attentive and our fur babies trust her.

About: I grew up around animals all different sizes growing up. We owned a lot of dogs and so did many of my friends and family! I grew up making sure all dogs were well fed, groomed, and loved. Along with any medication if required. I absolutely love pets! I am a full time employee as an RBT so I work 8-5 Monday-Friday with a lunch break each day. I would be openly available on the weekends and after 5:30 on the week days. I live in apartment but there is a large dog park within my complex. I can play with your furbaby at your house, take them potty, walk them, feed them, or give them any medicine if needed.

Kaylee always does an exceptional job at watching my dog for me when I go out of town. She comes exactly when she was expected, had a very nice attitude and always made sure everything was good before she left. She has watched my dog at my home before, coming multiple times a day to let them out and to feed/water them. She cleans up any mess they may have made and plays with them a while before leaving them. She never made me question her being in my home alone and was always respectful of my belongings. My dog has also spent a few nights away with her and never had any issues going with her or leaving. She sends pictures updates and reassures you that your pup is taken care of. 10/10 recommend.

Nathan did an awesome job taking care of my special needs Quaker Parrot whose name is Hi-Five. Hi-Five cannot perch so he walks around on the bottom of his cage and so it has to be cleaned multiple times a day and Nathan was up to the task! He cared and treated my bird like his own. I will always call on him when I need him again.

I have known Jeannette for more than four years, and at no point in that time has she failed to impress me with her kindness, consideration, and responsibility. I have witnessed her care for the pets of others, as well as my own pets. She is one of those individuals who has a deep respect and love for animals, and who is always overjoyed to spend time with them. I can say with confidence and without reservation that I would recommend her to anyone looking for a respectful and attentive pet-sitter.
