“Thanks to Jessica and Anthony for taking such good care (and so many photos) during your visits. I also appreciated very much the responsiveness and flexibility they showed when I asked for one extra visit because the time change meant I’d be getting back even later from the cats’ perspective. They were very kind and conscientious and I would be happy to have them watch my cats again—and what’s more is I think the cats would be happy too. ❤️🐾”

About: I am an experienced pet owner and lover of animals of all kinds! I grew up with several large dogs who were always an integral part of our family. My aunt also owns a pet care business-- loving and caring for pets runs in the family! I currently live with two wonderful rescue dogs and have volunteer and worked with dogs and cats throughout the last ten years. I have worked with several dog trainers on specific training methods and commands. I am comfortable with dogs (and other pets) of all sizes and have experience with medication and special diets. My flexible work-from-home career allows me to be available throughout the day, as well! I'm available for check-ins, walks, or other care needs throughout the day and evening. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule to care for your pet during the day and evening or anything in between! I live in near downtown and can get to most locations in town in about 10 minutes. I am happy to follow any outlined procedures and rules for your pets. I take pet safety and security very seriously (and know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your pet). Your pet will never be off leash, and I will take extensive care to ensure they are always under my observation. I am happy to send you a text and picture after our walks or check-ins!

“Victoria was a godsend for me and my Bunny Cosmo! He lives free range in my apartment like a cat, and has very particular care instructions. Not only did Victoria take excellent care of Cosmo and my apartment, but she provided so much love and attention to him that I was able to enjoy my trip knowing he was so well looked after and happy. Thank you so much Victoria! Highly recommend 😊”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my life since the age of 12. I am familiar with various animal medical conditions, skilled in medication administration, and sensitivity to dietary restrictions. I hike with my own dog daily for at least 1 hour, and would love to have your furry loved ones join us! I currently work full-time but can flexibly accommodate drop in visits and walks during the week with sufficient notice. Friday to Sunday I am available for pet boarding at my home. I have a fenced yard and one senior English Setter to keep your furry friends company. My home is pet safe and animals are allowed on the furniture and beds. In clients homes, I ensure that messes are cleaned up urgently and that your pet has everything they need!

“Tara is absolutely a beautiful soul! She loves animals and it shows. My lil boy just loves her. She is professional, punctual and is very accommodating. She learned his routine, cues and needs so quickly. I am very pleased with my experience and will continue to work with her as we navigate the puppy stage! (She was also very helpful in using and navigating this app!)”

Jessica and Anthony took amazing care of our two cats. They met us in advance and made sure they understood everything that was needed during our time away. They sent tons of great photos letting us know everything was okay while we were away. Highly recommend them for your pet care!

Molly was so great with my two kitties while I was away. After having some not great experiences with cat sitters, she completely put me (and the kitties) at ease with her daily updates, easy communication, and lots of photos. I asked if she could drop in a little earlier as my kitties were used to this routine, and she had absolutely no problem with it and was there for all of their needs. Even my shy kitty warmed up to her in just a few days. I will definitely be using her service again in the future and highly recommend her!

Julia did a wonderful job looking after my cat Maggi while I was travelling for work. I really appreciated her daily updates, videos and pictures. When I came home after four days away, I could tell that my cat had been looked after well. I hope to work with Julia again soon!

Elijah provided exceptional care to my cat while I was away for a few days. He kept me updated throughout and was able to administer his medication effectively. Communication was exceptional and I truly felt that my cat was well looked after. Could not recommend Elijah enough!!
