“Xiana took SUCH good care of our 3 kitties, she paid close attention to all of the details I told her about how to care for them, communicated amazingly with me the whole time, and provided so many cute pictures of our babies so that we could see how they were doing!! She is such a sweet, caring, and attentive person. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I’ve always had a cat growing up and when I was old enough to get my own pet I had a dog. I work part time at a dog boarding facility and when I’m not there I’m home. So I have plenty of free time to do walks, dog parks, naps on the couch, play time, and anything else needed for your fur baby. I care for pets like they are my own with unlimited pets & love. I also treat other homes like it’s my own clean, tighty, and in place.
“Abby did an awesome job watching our 2 cats! She was thorough with the reports and included pictures and videos of them while we were away. She also made sure that any of the messes the cats made were cleaned up too! I highly recommend her for watching your fur babies!”
“Lisa was very attentive to the care of my cat, and kept me in the loop with updates while I was away. Definitely would rebook with her again!”
“Brianna is seriously amazing! She has gone above and beyond to make sure our pet has loved, played with, and cared for! You can’t find a better person to work with or trust with your furry babes! :)”
“Aubrey was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our cat Tasha, but Aubrey made the entire process wonderful. She was always great with communication and kept us informed how things were going (thanks for the pictures!). We will definitely be looking for Aubrey again in the future.”
“Ashley, thanks for celebrating Thanksgiving with Dieterich!! You are the best!”

I can provide services among your home if you choose. In my home I have two dogs and 3 cats. With my training classes, I also study nutrition so I try my best to provide good food for my animals. In a client's home, I would appreciate a task/chore list or a list of anything you deem important so that I can provide the utmost care for your pet.
