I have two dogs of my own and ride horses during the day, but I love all animals and would love to spend my extra time with them! I can do anything that you need from feeding, taking outside, to putting in a crate, going on walks, or just checking in and a little play time to keep them company.

Pam went above and beyond for us and our 2 dogs while we were away! She is so kind and takes the time to get to know your pets and make you feel comfortable. She has a genuine love for animals and immediately connected with our dogs. It's clear she treats every dog like her own. She also was so careful around the house and left it in better shape than we left it! She was reliable and gave a lot of updates and pictures! I never had to worry about them during our trip I really felt like they were in great hands. My dogs definitely loved her and were waiting for her to come back by the front door! I will definitely be using Pam again in the future!!

Hired Frank for a drop in visit prior to his upcoming house sitting job. He communicated prior to and after the visit. He followed instructions and assured me the dogs were okay (although my younger pup wouldn’t go out potty this time). I can tell that Frank wants to do a good job in caring for my dogs.
