“When we were out of town, we didn't have to worry about our kitties at all because Sierra took such great care of them. She's timely, responsive, and very kind. We highly recommend!”
“Added on an extra day for my stay while my litter robot was malfunctioning. Olivia was prompt and went right over to check on my fur babies without hesitation. Awesome service!!”
“Chigozirim was great! The frequent updates and photos assured me Suki was happy and comfortable while I was away. I so appreciated Chigozirim‘s responsiveness and professionalism, and I will definitely have her take care of Suki again.”
“We have used Michaela twice in the last year to watch our cats while we went out of town, she is always so nice and kind to our pets! I can’t recommend her enough, she is very quick to respond and gives the cats extra love for us when she visits with them. 😁”
“Cheyenne was so great!! Our cat was so comfy here and got lots of love and attention! Cheyenne is a super kind human and sent us regular updates, including videos and pictures, which really made us feel so much better about leaving our sweet boy for a couple weeks! He was well taken care of and got all the scratchies and cuddles he wanted!”
About: We’re a pet-loving home with 3 cats and 2 sweet senior dogs—all friendly, spayed/neutered, and great with guests! Your pet will feel right at home with plenty of love, snuggles, and playtime. I am available everyday, if I am boarding in my home I am available to come and go a lot. If boarding in your home I am available to stop by multiple times during the day/night. I have a fenced yard & two senior dogs who enjoy company. They’re still young at heart! 3 cats who are very social and enjoy new faces.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.
“She’s so great with my cats! They love her! We really appreciate her taking care of them and feel like they are in good hands when we are out of town. Her services are highly recommended!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. All different breeds and all different sizes. I’ve always known the importance of keeping a good eye on them and knowing their regular attitude. I know how serious something can be even when the dogs attitude just switched a little bit. I know the importance of showing your love and care for animals as it can really help comfort them or just make them happy. I currently work part time so I do have a lot of freetime to help out and look after/ care for peoples animals who need it. I’m available anyday especially weekends to watch/walk ur pets!! In my home my dog has an open field to run in a water bowl outside inside and in my room. He also gets kenneled sometimes depending on how long im leaving for and such but at night he sleeps in bed with me or on the floor if he gets too hot.
About: I always had pets growing up. Pets of my own have mainly been cats (3) due to a family members allergy of dogs but I have my own dog who is now 4 years old and they are all very loved and well taken care of. My work schedule allows me to have 3 / 4 days off every other week so I have more free time than I know what to do with. Pet sitting, walking, or drop ins would brighten up my time off. I don’t have availability for pets in my home, but in my clients home they would be cared for and loved all the same as their owners. We would go on walks, get them active with toys as well.
“Taylor was great. She was very caring and patient towards Jordy. It was his first time away from home. She did everything she could to make him feel comfortable and taken care of. Taylor kept me updated and made herself available. We appreciated her and recommend her. Thank you !!”
