15. Hayley R.
“Wow, what an amazing experience with Hayley. I was very reluctant to hire someone to care for our beautiful fur babies. My 15 year old dog and 10 year old cat had only been cared for by family. She stopped by my house on two occassions to get acquainted with Melody and Doby before my trip. It was love at first sight. She connected with them within minutes. She was authentic and warm while playing and building trust with them. She sent videos, photos and daily updates; giving me peace of mind. She fed my outdoor squirrel and bird friends. I was going to have her drop-in 3 times a day however she was willing to stay over. I was thankful my babies were not left alone at night; they slept with her. She is trustworthy, reliable and genuinely loves animals. The house was immaculate upon my return. Without hesitation I would ask Hayley if she were available during our next trip.”

19. Kira K.
“Kira loves all creatures, and has cared for all types of animals her entire life. Animals gravitate towards her. She has been called “the dog whisperer” many times, as she can calm them down and get them to do things that no one else seems to be able to do. She is even able to trim the nails of the most anxious dogs and cats around. Animals have been her life-long passion. So much so that she went to school to become a board certified veterinary technician. She will be able to love and care for all of your pet needs. Taking care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, sheep, goats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. She will be happy to responsibly house sit (either staying at your home or visiting throughout the day) dog walk, play, cuddle, or assist with any medical needs. You will feel confident that your pets will have the best care around, and they will be treated like family ❤️”
20. Karlee W.
“I consider Karlee an integral part of my dog-care team. Having someone I trust in my home and caring for my cherished dog Montana is what I call peace of mind. Karlee's managerial skills make scheduling and organizing dog care easy with clear communication, responsiveness and commitment. When Karlee is caring for my pup I know she is with a responsible adult AND a big hearted animal lover.”
