“Excellent experience!!! First time using this type of dog care and Jacquie is amazing and truly understands dogs. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kathleen was amazing with our three pups. When first meeting with her, they took to her immediately, which is always a good sign. She checked in with us several times a day, with text messages, photos and videos. The pups looked very happy. Thank you so much Kathleen, we definitely be using your services again!”
“While we were away for a medical procedure, our 15 year old dog became quite ill, requiring lots of attention and complex caregiving — and house cleaning — as well as comforting. Caitlin managed all parts of this VERY difficult booking, which was much more than she bargained for, with competence and grace , and kept her safe and comfortable while we scheduled the Vet and raced home. We were so relieved to have such close and competent attention for our little girl, and grateful for Caitlin‘s grace and confidence at a precarious time. We can’t say enough good about Caitlin and we can’t thank herenough.”
“Karen communicated wonderfully, followed our requests and send photos of the babies. We were super pleased with her and will be having her back again soon next time we are away!”
About: Hi i’m Syd. I’ve worked 3 years in emergency veterinary medicine and can be totally be trusted. I am currently a break from work until fourth of July so will be very open.

“It was the first time when our dog and cat stayed without us for a few days. Stephanie found a connection with both of them from the first time and took great care of them. I felt safe and calm leaving my pets with Stephanie and have booked her for my long vacation!”
About: I lost my amazing furry child and co-pilot recently. I miss the walks, play time, and just being with one another, Animals are so therapeutic in the scheme of life in many ways. I welcome sharing a walk with your furry child, or stopping by to check in. I have had dogs and cats most of my life. At this time I welcome the opportunity to share some time and love with others. I could do early afternoon/evening walks. Some weekends available as well. This is new, so just inquiring to see if others may be where I once was finding challenges looking for a reliable person for pet care. I am happy to go to your home and walk your dog in their familiar neighborhood. I am happy to pick your dog up and go for a beach romp/walk. I am happy for you to bring your dog to my home and I have a fenced in area, a nice neighborhood for walking. I just lost my dog of 12 1/2 years recently. I am not about to jump into getting another dog at all... she'll never be replaced. But there is definitely a void and I thought this would be a nice balance. I have a welcoming space to offer.

Paige will be my go to and I would recommend her to any and everyone!”

“Jess dog/house sat for me last week and she was absolutely amazing! I think my dogs want to live with Jess (and Matt) now, to be honest. :) She was highly communicative, sent a ton of pictures, and kept my pups totally entertained. Couldn't recommend Jess more highly for house/dog sitting and dog walking!”
