“We had a wonderful trip knowing the cats were being watched by Islay. We got pictures showing her interaction with them and showing how excited they were to get their evening pate rather than just have kibble while we were gone! Given the one cat is 15 and has few teeth, we knew he was at least fed but he even let her give him a few scratches on the back (he’s a grumpy old man). Thank you, Islay!”


“Mandy is my go-to gal! She is very flexible, especially with my hectic schedule as an RN on-call. A huge shout out to her for the love and care she provides for my pups. Highly recommend Mandy for any pet care needs.”



“Corinne came when she said she would and provided us with photos and feedback from her visits with our dog. As far as we can tell, our dog enjoyed her time with Corinne (she didn't tell us directly but when we arrived back home she was feeling happy and calm:)) I would not hesitate to hire Corinne again.”


“Finn and Clyde love Nicholas and Chelsea, i felt super comfortable having them take care of my babies. Everything went great and was a huge load off while i was at work:). I will definitely be reaching out in the future when i need some help!”

About: Pet care is my passion. My parents Bred and raised German Shephard show dogs. I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and would love to take care of your fur baby. I want you to be comfortable leaving to enjoy yourself without worrying about your baby. When I care for your pet, I am virtually home and do not schedule anything during their stay. I do work early morning until early afternoon but then I am home. I am able to come home around 12 noon to let them out if necessary. I have a double lot with a long lead, but I actually prefer using a leash and walking in the backyard for potty breaks. I also love to walk so I would like to be able to take your dog for walks or throw the ball in my yard if they are good being off leash. If your dog requires being crated just let me know.

About: I have owned dogs for 25 years and currently have two dogs of my own. Over the past few years I have have fostered and found homes for over 20 puppies through a local rescue. I am working from home and have flexibility in my schedule during the week. I am also available on weekends and evenings. As long as wifi is available I can stay at your home to care for your dogs. I would ensure the safety and comfort of your dogs first by listening to your directions and handling the dogs as instructed. My goal would be to have them feel comfortable in their home environment while you are away.
