“My cat really needs human attention but she's also pretty good at telling when a person isn't interested and gives up. If a person is pro-cat, she will lick and be adorable wanting to be held and petted...until she doesn't. She also likes some people more than others for reasons only cats know. My cat immediately loved Helen during the meet and greet. I could tell Helen can read how to handle her without crossing her "boundaries", and enjoys doing so. She followed drop-in instructions well and sent lots of cute pictures.”
“It is my second time to book with Eva & Kallven and I can say that we feel more at ease knowing that Truman is in good hands. Will definitely book with them on a regular basis”
“This was our first time using Rover for our dog, Grizzley. Working with Skyler was great. He provided pictures and information while we were out of town which helped keep the nerves at bay.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. While I’ve only owned dogs personally, I’m comfortable and happy to care for other animals as well. I’m a quick learner, very observant, and always follow pet care instructions carefully to make sure every animal feels safe and well-cared for. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets, and I treat each one like part of the family. I’m currently a high school student (senior) and have flexible availability during the week and weekends. I’m happy to work around any of your pet’s needs! I have a comfortable home with a medium-sized backyard that’s fully fenced for safe outdoor time. While I don’t have pets of my own right now, my space is clean, quiet, and ideal for dogs or other animals to feel relaxed and secure. I always follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy.
