“Teresa checked in on our 5 cats for us while out of town for the holidays. She was EXCELLENT! We felt so at ease with her checking on our babies, and she sent photo updates daily. They were in great hands. Will absolutely be re-booking with her in the future!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She gave us great updates on how our fur babies were doing while we were gone, and went above and beyond making sure our house was safe when an unexpected cold front brought temperatures below freezing. We'll definitely be asking for her help again when the need arises!”
“Jennifer did a great job and my cat felt comfortable enough with her to enjoy some sunshine on the front porch. Jennifer even took the most beautiful pictures of my cat and sent them to me.”

With my working background I am comfortable with any food restrictions, medications, walking, crating, and care your pet may need to be happy and comfortable. I will make sure to give meds, food, and specific care instructions extra attention as needed.

“Siery did an amazing job! She was timely, attentive, and most of all, caring. She communicated with me as needed and ensured our babies had what they needed. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Lucie bonded with our elderly cat, Rescue, immediately. In the past, he has been very shy to almost everyone. She came to care for him twice a day while I was on a short vacation. I would recommend Lucie to anyone. She would send me photos each day I was gone and text me to let me know how he was doing. I would trust her for your pet with no reservations. I plan for her to take care of Rescue again when I go on other vacations.”
