“We were so happy to have Maddie check in on our cat, Goose!! She was very detailed and responsive, and I know that she gave Goose lots of love while we were away! We will definitely book again, thank you so much Maddie!!”
About: I’ve taken care of just about every kind of animal you could think of since I was 12. My neighbors and friends have trusted me with their cats, dogs, horses, lizards, fish and even goats. I will ensure the best possible care for your pet! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on and spend with your pet to make sure they aren’t lonely during the day. I spend a lot of time at home with my own cats and am able to devote time for walks, feeding, and even medication if needed! I am also able to exercise high energy dogs during the day. I have a spacious home and 2 friendly kitties to keep your pet company throughout the day. I also have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your dog throughout the day if needed.
“We have used Jennifer a second time now, and will continue to use her! She is great with our dog and always treats him like one of her own. Taking time to play with him and giving him some love while we're gone.”
