This is my second dog that Brittany and Branson have cared for. This time it is a very energetic Cavapoo named Wyatt. Brittany is always prompt, notified me of any concerns and leaves a full update of her visit and a few pictures. Wyatt is always in a great mood when I come home and obviously was well cared for and had some fun too!!! Couldn't be happier with his care!!

Estafanny did an AMAZING job watching my Rufus 😊 He absolutely LOVES her, he already knows her name 😂 I plan on having her watch my furbaby every time I'm out of town and to check on him when I have to work late. She is very responsible and communicative when watching my baby boy.

About: I have had dogs, cats, small animals. I have a lot of patience, and I'm good at taking direction. I'll be sure to do task as you would. I like life to have consistency. Makes it easy for owner and animal. Love animals. Trying something new, and exciting out. My schedule is open. Recently quit my job in manufacturing, did that for 10+ years. I love being outside and I love walking or running. Sometimes the dogs just want to run, I understand :D Fenced in yard. No animals, currently. Our 13 year old dog passed away, in april. We do have a well behaved 3 year old boy who loves animals. If your animal is not good with kids, we can definitely accommodate.

About: I will love and care for your pet like it is my own. My #1 priority is keeping your fur (scaley?) babies happy, while also keeping you in the loop with pictures and messages! I don't have any breed restrictions whatsoever, they're all wonderful to me. I have become a "go-to" for pet parents of, eccentric, or nervous dogs because I can understand their boundaries and comfort levels and adjust my habits and attitude to accommodate them until they realize I am just there to love them. I look forward to hearing from you! Enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby (babies) will be spoiled as much as possible with me watching them! I love animals and being able to assist people with their pets is my favorite job. I have always cared for pets, whether it be my own or sitting, as well as volunteered at shelters and facilities tending to animals. I spend most of my time with your pet when I am given the trust of their care and access to your home. Outside of general errands I spend my time with your pet so they don't feel anxious of your absence. Other home tasks can also be done within reason as well. I am there so you can feel at ease being away.

Our dog Annie absolutely loves Ethan! When Annie was a puppy we hired him to check on on her during the day while we were at work. Not only did he reliably let her out for bathroom breaks, but he also took the time to play and engage with her during lunchtime. It provided such peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care of during the day! I highly recommend Ethan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!

About: I have had dogs all my life, I currently have two small chihuahua/ yorkie mixs that are brother and sister (Gus & Sadie) that I treat more like children then dogs! I have experience with big dogs as well! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home most of the time other then appointments or going to the park, I do work 2 days a week but my partner will be home on those days so someone is always home. I can follow the same schedules you have for your pet or any special instructions, feeding, diets etc. If your dog likes to cuddle I allow dogs on the couch make them feel more at home.

If you wanted someone that you can be UNDOUBTABLY sure you can leave your pets to, it’s Maria. I’ve known her for years and I’ve seen her first hand with not just her own pets, but the pets of others. She treats them like they were hers, and is always present for the animals. Look no further than her.

My Jax is a very high energy puppy. I had been sick, and it was freezing out so I had Jennifer take him for a walk so I didn't have to. She was a trooper dealing with his special needs as well as the cold. Jax appeared to love her as well. Thank you.

Kelly watched our four legged kids while we were on vacation. She even was kind enough to text us pictures while we were away. Although we missed our dogs, it was of great comfort to know Kelly was in charge and we need not worry about them. I highly recommend her services. Our dogs enjoy their time with her, an added perk!

Tanya is so great with our pets! Our dog is a senior dog with a very unique personality and picky about who she likes. I trust Tanya to take care of her for me when we’re out of town. We came home to a very content pup after camping for the weekend! Our two cats were also well loved while we were gone, Tanya was great with the cats’ particular eating habits when it comes to their wet food and which part of the house the prefer to eat in 😂

Jaymee took care of our dog and 2 cats while we were on vacation. In the past the dog had gotten sick “pining” for us, this time it didn’t happen. Jaymee exercised the dog, and played with the cats, fed them, kept the water fountain clean etc while we were gone. We will definitely call her again when we need her!
