8. Jenny H.
“As a nervous cat mom, I was worried about finding someone I could trust to care for Daisy. Jenny put me at ease immediately when we met and shared stories about her own cats I could relate to. I felt comfortable leaving Daisy knowing Jenny would take good care of her. Her notes about her visits were so helpful and Daisy was well fed and cared for when I returned. This was a wonderful experience for both Daisy and I.”

19. Maria M.
About: I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, and hedgehogs since I was 13 years old! I often cared for senior cats who were 18+ years old so I am very used to giving medications and special diets. I grew up with dogs and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I recently welcomed a puppy, so I also have experience with puppy training. Our home has one resident dog, but I have a two-level house, so I can keep pets separate for boarding. I am happy to send check-in photos of your little buddy while you are away and provide lots of long walks and playtime! I am currently in between jobs as I focus on my online courses, so I am home full-time to care for your babies! All I ask is 3 days' notice for boarding. Every animal's needs are different, and I am incredibly flexible depending on you and your little buddy's needs! For boarding, I have one resident dog that loves all cats and dogs (he is only 12 lbs, so he is not intimidating in the slightest!). I also have a two-story house, so I am able to keep the pets separated if your pet prefers to be the only animal around.

About: i take pride in my knowledge and accuracy when it comes to pet care considering i've been taking care of basically every animal you can think of from a very early age, wildlife(raccoons, squirrels, deer, etc), common household pets, reptiles(including alligators), fish, birds, farm animals, even a bengal tiger.i have trained puppies, kittens, horses, cows, and raccoons i've raised as well! to give some insight of the babies i have as of now are 2 kittens i rescued and bottle fed, named Rigby and mordecai, a dog named khaleesi we rescued she's currently 8 with the same midset and playfulness as a puppy, and a ten year old bearded dragon named doris i've cared and loved for ever since he hatched. i plan to make petcare a full time job, until i plan to go to vet school. hopefully i can make some furry friends along the way! :) i care for all my pets as if they were my own children. all my pets get yearly check ups, daily vitamins, brushed daily(including teeth) and have set feeding schedules to ensure their health. my many years experience in handling animals helps me
