“Working with Eloisa was a dream! She did everything I asked and then some. My cats had no difficulty warming up to her and the photos she sent were heartwarming. I would have absolutely no difficulty using her again!”
“Here’s a warm, Rio was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to come over and meet me and my cat before the booking. During each visit, she provided detailed notes that showed how well she cared for my kitty. It was clear she took her time and genuinely cared. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in great hands. I highly recommend Rio and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Trinade did a great job of caring for my cats. She showed up like clockwork, stayed to spend time with them, and gave my older cat the medicine she requires. I love the photos Trinade send with her reports and how enthusiastic she is about caring for animals. I will definitely be using her services again when I go out of town..”
“Very helpful and knowledgeable. She took care of our kitties for three days while we were gone. You could tell that they were very comfortable with her and that she enjoys going what she is asked to do. My wife left a detailed list with pictures and everything on how to take care our babies and it was followed to a T. Thank you for everything.”
“Tristan has house/dog sat for us many times. She is amazing. She always shows up on time and does all the mouse care and pet care. Feeding , walking and medications. She sends pictures all the time and is a great communicator. Our dog Takoda loves her too. The house is always left the way we left it. We love to have her in our home.”
About: For the last 4 years my husband and I have had 4 dogs. He often travels, so I am usually caring for them alone. We have a husky, 2 pit-husky mixes, and a Belgium shepherd. I trained the Belgium shepherd from puppy age, and she’s now the sweetest and best guard dog out there! Our dogs can be stubborn at times, and I’ve even had to break up a couple of dog fights. I am able to handle difficult situations if your dog is a little tougher or not as friendly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs because of their loyalty and cuteness. From small dogs to large- I can care for them however you need and will treat them like they’re my own! I recently quit my job because we moved, so I have all the free time in the world! I can be flexible and stay with your pet to play longer if you need. Since we currently have 4 dogs we are not taking any pets to stay with us. However, we have a barn and hope to be able to house dogs there some day!
“Patricia did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. I would highly recommend her.”
“Tara was great! She completed all tasks very well. She left my house neat and clean w dishes done and garbage and recycling taken out. I’ve only used 3 other pet sitters and she was by far the best! We had a little difficulty communicating and operating around the bitter cold, snow and ice conditions, but she rallied. Tara is personable and conscientious - I would definitely book her again.”
About: I have a 4. year old dog, Kane who doesn’t know a stranger. Human or dog alike. I spent a year assisting in the training of K9, schutzhund, and over all protection/ obedience. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sorts and absolutely love them. I spent a lot of time volunteering at the local animal shelters in Kansas City, where I am originally from, so I am good with dogs behaviors and what to do and not to do’s. I can take your dog on a run, or pop in and give him his food and play for a bit. Or even stay over night if your pup is uncomfortable in new surroundings and needs to be in his home space! I’d love to care for your dog! I work hybrid and when I am in the office I don’t have issues stepping out to take walks and when I’m working from home I take several breaks to go on walks or the park. I stay super active and make sure my dog and any dog I care for has lots of enrichment and stimulation! I make sure that I’m always in a safe environment and make the dogs feel comfortable.

Danyelle S.
“Danyelle is a very responsible individual whom I would trust with any pet! Her empathetic and selfless heart shine through especially when working with animals. Personally, seeing her with my own cats is so heartwarming. When she first met my rescue kitten, Simon, he warmed up to her immediately despite his lack of affection towards me. I’ve never seen a cat more well-loved than her cat Gunther, and the bond she’s been able to grow with her is so touching. She is so passionate about kindness towards every living being- not just animals, but in the people she interacts with day to day as well”
