“We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Ayden! She took excellent care of our two cats, Tegan and Sara, while we were on vacation. Ayden followed all of our care instructions perfectly—checking food, water, and even keeping up with our automatic litter box. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates, which showed how much she loved spending time with our cats. Ayden was always on time, super communicative, and just a joy to work with. We'll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I grew up on a farm and ranch with horses, cows, dogs and cats where I developed a love for all animals. I rescued my first dog on my own in 2010 and spent 11 fantastic years with him until he passed from cancer. I have experience administering pet medication and caring for animals with disabilities and illnesses. I am currently staying at home full time with my toddler so I have nothing but time to love on and care for your pets. I live on a wooded 12 acres far from the main road. My property is unfenced so my large dog wears a Halo GPS collar when she is outside. I have a doggy door that exits outside into a small dog pen. I will gladly follow your preferences for leashing and outdoor time with your pets. I love all animals and will treat yours like my own.
“This is the second time Ashley has watched my dog. She always does a great job keeping me updated on what they are doing and sending cute photos. I can tell my dog really trusts her and I don't have to worry about him while I am away”
“Monique is a great sitter! As soon as I met her, I could tell she loved animals, was responsible, trustworthy, and our fur babies were in good hands. It really made it possible to actually relax knowing she was dropping in. My dog loved her from the second he met her and he's a great judge of character. Will be hiring her again.”

Kenzie H.
“Kenzie absolutely loves animals, all animals. She has several of her own and she is very attentive to them and she’s also very attentive to other people’s animals when they are around. She’s always loved animals for as long as I can remember she’s always wanted to have her own animal sanctuary. She’s very trustworthy and does what she says she’s going to do. She’s an RN as well, but not working much right now as she’s home taking care of her new son instead of working and leaving him in the care of someone else. She would be an asset and trustworthy when you’re out of town to take care of your animals and check them and love them. I have four dogs, a cat, and horses and trust her completely to take care of them if I’m not around.”
