“Danielle did a wonderful job taking care of Pele and Theia!!! I really appreciate her time and effort making sure they had food, water, clean kitty boxes, and attention! She even helped adjust the autofeeders when they were being a little too generous. Definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
“Katie is fabulous! She took care of our two cats and did everything we asked, and then some! She handled the medicine schedules for both of them and had such patience with our finicky eater. Loved getting the updates and photos at each visit! We would not hesitate to ask her to come back and look after our babies again. Thank you, Katie!!”
“Mollie was very sweet and professional from the first time she text me to agree to watch my two cats. This is the first time I had used this service and she made it so easy. I love the updates I received each time she came that included pictures. I would recommend her to anyone in need of this service.”
“Bekah was so wonderful with both of our cats! The pictures were adorable and I could tell both Ann (the usually hesitant older kitty) and George (the rambunctious young kitty) we’re both comfortable and happy during her visits! Wonderful care! Will definitely be asking Bekah to care for them again!”
“Karli took excellent care of our two dogs! We loved getting pictures of them during each visit. I sprained my wrist and she even opened an extra can of dog food and left it in the fridge for me since I had mentioned having trouble opening the cans. I've already booked her for a couple more drop in visits!”
“I really think my cat Jesse is in love with Mallie. When I got home after 8 days away, Jesse told me all about the great time he had with Mallie. They have been together three times in the past year and I am certain they will get to spend more time together in the future. Mallie brushed Jesse because his fur was shiny and soft. His water dish was clean and plenty of food was in his bowl when I returned. Great job Mallie!!”
“Alex took great care of our cat. She was really quick to respond to messages in the app and very flexible on timing. She worked on Christmas, and even went out of her way to do a 2nd drop in one day when we were concerned the landlord might have let the cat out on accident. Great experience all around :)”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, I’m confident handling different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to each pet’s routine and comfort. My goal is to make your dog feel secure and loved while you're away—just like you never left. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and companionship during most daytime hours Monday through Friday. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to help them feel secure and relaxed. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite walking routes—and make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and rest in a calm, stress-free environment.

kattie y.
“I have a Great Dane and a Great Dane mix that Kattie used to care for while I was away for work or business trips. Although they were bigger dogs, Kattie did great with them! She gave them around the clock care when needed and never once "forgot" or "accidentally" missed an appointment to be at the house to get them/care for them. I would recommend her to any and everyone! She has a caring soul for animals and has a very positive upbeat attitude which is hard to find these days.”

She also checks in on my two livestock guardian dogs, Bella and Bandit, and makes sure they’re fed and doing well. I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s looking after them all. I can’t recommend her enough!”

She was the one that taught me all I know about how to care for dogs (diet, exercise, training, etc.).

I think Anna would would make a very capable and responsible choice for anyone looking to have their dog friends cared for.”
Scarlet P.

She is very educated in animal care and if she doesent know the answer or solution she will find it out!”
