“Lee did a great job and kept us updated on what was going on. He answered questions in a timely manner. This was our first time leaving our furbaby overnight and he helped ease our fears. He thought ahead and left the lights on for us and our pooch since it would be late when we came in. I will gladly book his services again.”

She took really good care of him and made sure he was always comfortable. She has really good communication and updates you throughout her stay. You can 100% trust her with your pets and your house! I recommend her.”

She kept me updated the entire time I was away, spent a lot of time with my dogs, and sent many pictures! I was relieved to have someone that truly cares watch them. She also went above and beyond, and made sure my house and sheets were clean for me when I got back. Would 100% recommended her to anyone”

15. Julia M.
About: I’ve been around dogs if all sizes my whole life. I currently have two of my own, one being a puppy. I worked this past summer at a dog groomer/ boarder and it was a wonderful experience. I like to think that I am good with all kinds of animals except any kind of creepy crawly. I am currently in high school but I do nothing outside of that. My weekends are completely free and so are my afternoons unless I have some sort of homework which is rarely. I won’t be doing at home services but if I did, I have a big yard with a smaller portion fenced in. I have a Great Dane puppy who is skittish at first around other dogs but never aggressive and eventually warms up. I also have a 4 year old chiweenie who absolutely loves other dogs. I also have a pet pig!

About: Over the course of my life, I’ve taken care of many dogs. I’ve had many different dogs as pets, and I helped feed, walk, and bathe them as needed. Taking care of dogs is a passion of mine, and I always made sure to provide the best care possible. I enjoy the company of dogs and always enjoy their unconditional love. As well as taking care of my aunt cats, I would help her. As a full time student away from home, I am able to take care of your pats anytime between Friday and Sunday, so you can count on me to take good care of them for you! You can rest assured that your pets are in good hands with me. I’m also very friendly and will make sure they feel loved and taken care of. I could also provide regular updates to let you know how they are doing.
