Bianca sent a couple updates per day including pictures of their time together. I came home to a clean house and a happy pup. I will definitely be hiring Bianca again in the future.”

She is at the house full- time and sends us pictures every day. Our dogs love her! I highly recommend her and she is our go-to person whenever we travel.

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t simply “check in” on your fur babies; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including regular and extended care while their families travel. For the past six years, I’ve been consistently trusted to care for pets when Dad and Mom go away on frequent trips, including stays of more than 30 days. I’m comfortable administering medications, staying at your residence, accommodating specific dietary needs and feeding schedules, maintaining established routines, regular walks and exercise, litter care, playtime, and, of course, plenty of companionship and affection. And please, give me ALL the instructions! You can leave me a legitimate PowerPoint presentation about your baby, and I will happily follow it to a T. 😂 I know every pet has their own routine, favorite things, quirks, boundaries, and very specific ways they like things done. (I’m a Virgo, so I know meticulous details. 😂) I’d much rather know every little detail so I can keep their world as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will also send you pictures and updates to provide you with peace of mind. I’m patient with shy or cautious animals, attentive to changes in behavior, and happy to adapt to different personalities, ages, and energy levels. Whether your baby needs long walks and playtime, is a workout nut (to keep me in shape, too 😂), needs extra attention, wants a cuddle buddy, or needs someone who understands that affection happens strictly on THEIR terms, I’ll follow their lead. Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family and, often, your home as well. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your babies are safe, your home is safe, and your babies are comfortable, loved, and having a pretty great time with their favorite auntie, while you take care of whatever needs your attention, without having to stress about what’s happening back at home. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether your baby needs early morning or evening walks, scheduled feedings, medication at specific times, regular check-ins, playtime, or simply someone around to keep them company, I can adjust my schedule around their needs. I’m also available for overnight and extended stays in your home, which allows your pets to remain comfortable in their own environment and maintain the routine they’re already used to. Since my schedule has flexibility, I’m happy to spend quality time with your babies rather than rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, litter care, playtime, bedtime routines, and all of those little details that make your baby feel safe and at home. We spend most of the day together, so they are not alone for long periods of time if I have to run off to check on another baby. I’m happy to stay overnight and spend quality time with your pets rather than simply popping in and out if you prefer. I’ll give them the level of attention and affection THEY are comfortable with, whether that means lots of cuddles and companionship, plenty of activity, or giving a shy kitty their space until they decide I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’ll keep things tidy, clean as needed, and secure, and send you regular pictures and updates. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that both your babies and your home are being genuinely cared for. 🐾

She walked them according to what we agreed and they seemed healthy and happy upon my return. Her updates included pics, and she told me when she was "accepted into the pack" when my dog decided to sleep on the bed with her. Thanks Molly!”

About: I've had many pet dogs and a few cats in my house since my childhood. I care deeply for animals and I'll do my absolute best to take care of others if I get the opportunity. I'm a dog owner and I have a very flexible schedule. I'm in pretty good shape and love to walk and run around with my Bella. I have a large fenced-in yard and I don't mind dogs in the house. My Bella is friendly and would love company sometimes. I can handle and care for your dog responsibly. I’m retired and like to stay active and I like spending time walking and staying fit so I walk when I can and I love doing it with my dog buddies. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around in, it’s safe and secure. My dog would like to get to know some other dogs.

Leaving pets behind is always a little nerve wracking, but knowing Catherine is looking after our four legged family member (and home) makes travel a little easier. No matter the weather, she’s always found a way to care for our pet in a timely manner.

Sheer magic! We had to leave for three days after moving to a new town, and Deana fully won over our sensitive girl. We came back to a tidy home and a happy dog. We’ve left out with other people before and she’s been clingy when we got home. Not this time - she was really happy to see us, but quickly turned her attention to other things. 🙏

We were very nervous about leaving our girls Irene snd Halligan home while we were away. We have boarded them in the past, but as our older girl Irene has slowed down, we knew that she would be more comfortable at home. In sharp contrast Halligan needs lots of attention and activity. Caroline was fantastic and put our minds at ease. She spent time meeting them before we left and they readily accepted her as a part of their pack. She took care of our home gave the right amount of love, attention, and TLC that they needed. Would highly recommend her if you have the need.

Grady was amazing! This was our first time letting anyone watch our dogs other than family. We were nervous at first, but after meeting Grady and seeing how the dogs reacted to him we knew they were in great hands. Grady was communicative, flexible and respectful of our home. We would 100% recommend Grady and use him again.

Caitlin stayed at our home to take care of our older dog for eight nights, and she did a five-star plus job. As always, she excelled at keeping us updated throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog absolutely loves Caitlin and was completely comfortable with her the entire time. Caitlin also kept our gardens watered and feed the birds for us. We returned to find our house in excellent condition—cleaner than how we left it! We highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for top-tier care for their four-legged babies.

She has watched my dog several times now - from occasional pop ins for feeds and pets to doing overnights while I am working out of state. I trust her with not only my sweet fur nugget but also my home while away. She's trustworthy and friendly and communicates with images during her appointments. Highly recommend.
