Katy was great! She was very communicative and willing to flexible about drop off time/location. She sent some updates and pics of Bender, and he was healthy and happy when we picked him up.

Hannah is the BEST!!! Highly recommended. I immediately felt like I was dealing with someone who has it together which gave me peace of mind that Moses was in good hands. She was friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates. At no point was I worried about my sweet pooch. Thank you, Hannah. You’re greatly appreciated.

Roosevelt had a great time staying with Melissa and her sweet family! We booked last minute, but Melissa was extremely accommodating, even on short notice. She sent regular check-ins and was very easy to communicate with, always responding promptly and sharing detailed updates on what Roosevelt had been up to. Her house had a large fenced-in backyard that was perfect for running around, and a cute neighborhood for walks. I will absolutely be booking with Melissa again, and would recommend her to friends and family.

About: Hi! I have 5+ years of professional animal care experience between working in a canine boarding facility then in veterinary medicine. I've been fortunate enough to love and care for a variety of pets all the way from fish and lizards to turkeys and goats. I understand that leaving our precious animals in the care of a stranger can be quiet nerve wracking. You can rest assured that when your pet is in my care they'll be treated as if they're my own. I currently work 3 days a week at a veterinary ER. I have availability for drop-in visits before or after work as well as almost any time on my days off. My veterinary experience, personal pet experience, and numerous certificates in the animal field allow me to thoroughly care for your pet(s). I am confident in offering services as simple as litter box changes all the way up to special needs medical pet sitting.

Callie was great with our little Frankie. I admit we were a little nervous since we have never been away from him since he was adopted, but Callie kept us informed and sent the cutest pictures to help us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend her. She is so sweet and her house was quiet and homey, which is exactly what our Frankie needed. We will be using her again in the future.

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I take time to get to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m there to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. You can count on me for consistent communication, updates, and genuine care every step of the way. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, so I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. Whether it’s morning walks, after-work snuggles, or weekend hangouts, I make sure pets get the attention and love they need. I stick closely to their pet’s usual routine to keep things stress-free—whether that means walks at certain times, feeding schedules, playtime, or just some good old-fashioned snuggling. I keep things clean, respectful, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for pets in my own home, they’ll get a cozy, welcoming environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love (plus maybe a few extra treats if that’s allowed!).

Great experience—communication before and during Jeter’s stay with Chesnut was fantastic. She really went above and beyond to make sure that Jeter had everything he needed. Highly recommend her.
