“Lucas is conscientious & gives his all to ensure that my cats are perfectly taken care of. He provides excellent physical & emotional care so they aren’t lonely while I’m away. Great communication, such as giving me advance notice that bc of the snowstorm he wouldn’t be able to come & so I was able to find a neighbor to stop in & check on my girls!😻”
“Okay let’s start with the title “life saver”... We contacted her LAST MINUTE from Myrtle Beach and she answered immediately willing to help! She is kind, diligent, and even treated our house as if it were her own! I cannot and could not have asked for a better caretaker of our two cats when we needed her! She sent us pictures and updates while she was there and even contacted us before and after the visits. Thank you so much Bailie!”
“Keitha did an amazing job watching our cat. He was comfortable around her to come out to play and be pet which is a good sign to me. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

About: I have always grow up with dogs, taking care of them and such. I have big dogs so I know what it's like and I love animals. Experience wise, I've always taken care of and walked my dogs and made sure they were okay. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets since I was 12. They get rambunctious at times but they are so cute and I'm such a dog person. This will be a good experience for me to take responsibility for another persons pet. I also have 3 cats that I currently take care of. Being around animals makes me happy and knowing I can care for them makes it even more enjoyable. I will be the best to your animals, given that I tended to my parents and other animals so well. Thank you for the opportunity! I am a mother of a 2 year old so my days at the moments consist of her. It isn’t hard to have a pet in the home to care for or us going for a walk to get some fresh air with a furry friend! I am very open to playing with animals and walking them. I currently live in an house with a big fenced in backyard and live in a neighborhood so it’s easy access to go walk dogs around the neighborhood.
