The day is full of playtime, outdoor stimulation, and treats! We collectively agree that cuddling is our favorite!
“Felicia did a great job dropping in to visit my cats. She completed the Rover cards and sent pics each time. She communicated well. The food, water, and litter box were taken care of and she even brushed out one of my cats. I highly recommend Felicia.”

“Thanks to Kelly for visiting my house and checking on my two cats, Lunar and Dude. She took the time to clean out the litter box, top off food and water along with sending a few pictures of them and playing with Lunar. I recommend Kelly for drop-in visits!”
