7. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”

“Tyler is an awesome pet caregiver! He has been doing drop in visits for our new puppy for the last few weeks and has been very helpful. He is trustworthy, has excellent communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pup is taken care of. He even gives our other dog love too while he’s there. He gives feedback after every visit and I can tell he is invested in our dogs happiness. Him and his wife, Sierra, are our first choice for a pet sitter due to each experience being great! I would highly recommend Tyler for any of your pet service needs!”

About: I have helped old dogs in the water, making sure they can swim, or at least tread water, while ensuring they stay afloat. I have taken care of dogs from year-old puppies, to old ones who need a little assistance getting up and down. I am always ready to go on a nice long walk, or just stay in and relax. I am available for boarding daily, with little notice necessary. I am at home full-time, and am ready and able to take care of your open whenever needed. I have a yard with no fence, and live on a lake with a dock. I do have 2 cats, but are very used to larger animals, and friendly with dogs. They can be restricted if necessary. I can easily crate your dog, if and when it is needed. I am also very good with cats, and have no issues if they get nervous or frightened.
11. Tracy E.
“Tracy is a dog lover. She was my groomer for over 20 years and went through the deaths of 3 of my fur babies and cried with me. She would play with them and bring toys and treats, the dogs loved her. Bella is the last dog she cared for and Bella adored her. I would entrust Tracy with Bella's care when I would go on vacation. Tracy would allow Bella to sleep with her and treated her like her own. I highly recommend Tracy to care for pets...you will be pleased.”
