About: I'm currently a stay at home mom of an 8 year old girl. We have a dog of our own right now that is a Corgi/shepard mix named Harley. I've always had dogs and cats my entire life and love taking care of animals and going on walks with them. I am originally from NJ and just moved to Tn in April. I worked at an animal shelter in NJ where I took care of the dogs and some newborn kittens. I've don't have much experience with dogs with disabilities but that won't stop me from wanting to work with them. My dog Harley is a very friendly dog and loves to play so if your dog is friendly she'd love to meet them too!
“Erica was an absolute perfect fit for our three big dogs. They each have their own personalities and she tended to each one with love, care, and absolute attention to detail and professionalism. I would recommend her to anyone with animals that they love as family.”
“Amber was awesome! 22 visits over 11 days and she went above and beyond every visit. My pup was happy to see us when we returned, but after a few minutes, she started looking for more people to come inside. We think she was disappointed it was just us and not Amber coming back to play and walk! She will miss you! I really hope she will work with us again! It was very reassuring knowing my dog was in excellent hands, and it made it much easier being comfortable while away. Thank you, Amber, for everything! We are truly grateful! Take care and I hope to speak with you again in the future!”

“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”
“Amanda was amazing from the first meeting to the end of my vacation. Communication (pics included) was great. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and share concerns.

Great relief knowing I didn’t have to worry about them and could focus on fun.”

“Jenna was terrific and we will definitely book her for any future trips! Both of our dogs got along great with her right away! During the morning and evening Drop-In visits, one of our dogs needed medication and special food. Jenna was more than accommodating with giving the medication/food and provided updates on how the dogs were doing and pics of each visit. We really appreciated Jenna's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule too. Jenna also left our house in great condition! Jenna - thank you for taking such great care of Coco and Bella so we didn't have to worry about them while we were out of town!”
