“We were very pleased with Hannah! She was so prompt with her visits, sent detailed and informative communications regarding activity, sleeping, medicine, their walks, and took plenty of pics of our girlies. Everything worked like clockwork and went just fine. Thank you Hannah for loving on our girlies while we were gone!”
“Kim was wonderful! I had to go into the office for work and leaving my pups all day is just unrealistic. Kim would always keep me informed of when she arrived as well as what my dogs where doing. I always received plenty of pictures which was always great! I never had to worry about them while I was working!”

About: I've trained dogs in my teenage years, and l've over puppies and kittens as well as lizards let me care for your pets while you relax. We’re a very organized couple and that allows us to have a well put together schedule. willing to always be flexible and tend to our pets easily! We have a dog park that’s a lovely drive away from the house! We love to play, take naps and match the pets moods and let them enjoy being themselves comfortably! And pet safety is a big deal! No wandering off and no biting or getting bitten of course haha
“Mariah was a blessing after planning our last minute trip. We had her do drop ins in-home while away. She was very attentive to their needs, took them for walks, gave them lots of love, and even left a little toy for them at the end. She handles dogs with high anxiety very well and is able to make them feel comfortable and not threatened. She went above and beyond with our puppy who is still learning and even through in a wash load after a small accident. We will use her again when out of town. Very trustworthy, couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I cared for my family dog for 12 years until she passed, as well as cared for my family and friends furry animals over the years. I’m currently working full time. Can be available before 10:00-11:00 am and in evening after 6:30pm or 7:30pm. Work schedule rotates, and can be flexible. I’ll make sure they are safe at all times, and well taken care of. Take them on walks, feed them if needed, and play of course!
“We booked Katie last minute and she was a God send. She was very sweet and awesome for our two cats and Riley our dog. She was even flexible enough to do longer had we needed her. I was very confident that my pets were in great hands. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Carse has been wonderful with our baby while we’ve been out of town! She truly shows how much she cares for the animals in her care with her detailed messages and photos after a visit. I always have extra peace of mind knowing she’ll be caring for my kitty.”
About: I love the joy that dogs add to life and I’m thankful to have the experience in raising and loving on so many! Loving your pet as if it were my own would be priority. I know it can be stressful in finding good help that you can count on so that would be my promise to you. Message me for more details or questions! After recently losing my own dog, I realize a majority of my daily routine involved and was centered around his care. I miss the responsibility and adventures! I would care for your pet in the same way you care for them to reduce stress in environmental change. Love and attention would be what your pet experiences under my care.
