“Kelsey took such good care of my cat while we were away! She was able to get our shy little cat to come out of her shell and live her best life! I’ll definitely be looking for Kelsey again if I need to re-book.”
“Lauren had great communication and flexibility. I came home to no messes and 2 happy girls! Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future if needed.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.
“Suzanne was very responsive. I loved the daily pictures! She took good care of my babies. I appreciated that she took initiative on things like vacuuming and taking out the garbage without me having to ask. I felt my home was well taken care of. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my trip plans. Overall I would recommend her for cat sitting!!”

“Molly did such a fantastic job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a couple days! This was our first time having Molly come over and she certainly exceeded our expectations. She sent photos and video updates which gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to any of our family or friends with fur babies too!”
“Madison was very helpful these last few days! Remi is a puppy and has a ton of energy and has some playful biting tendencies. Despite that, Madison still provided the best care to Remi. She provided pictures and communicated very well!”

“If I could give Ariel 10 stars, I would! We booked a last minute vacation, and Ariel agreed on short notice to drop in twice daily on our cat. Super responsive, dependable, and easy to communicate with! Ariel went above and beyond, and she also checked on a few minor household items. Our cat is super social and needs lots of love and attention! He cozied right up to Ariel. She provided him lots of playtime and showed up for every visit on time.”
“Couldn’t be happier with the way Holly handled the drop-in visits for our dogs. She shared photos and updates after each visit and it was very comforting. I could tell the dogs enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely book again!”
