About: I am a punctual, friendly and outgoing guy who will prioritize a safe, controlled and fun environment for your pet! I’ve taken care of different types of dogs and cats since I could remember, I have learned to read animal behavior in order to establish and maintain a safe and comfortable environment for animals I currently attend college classes and work part time, however I am highly available and flexible depending on your needs! I am free all week besides mornings Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I have been walking, feeding, and training my 10 year old pitbull mix since she was a year old. I love taking dogs on longer walks and hikes, and I know how to address and resolve possibly dangerous behavior in dogs and cats. I am also able to stay nights to watch pets, and transport pets to regular check-ups if needed.
“Tom was absolutely fantastic with my cat. From the moment I met him, I I just knew that he would be wonderful as a caregiver. He shared a lot of photos and spent a lot of playtime with my cat, who definitely needed the love and attention while I was away! I recommend Tom very highly, and I will be rebooking him for upcoming travels!”
“We had a great experience with Danya. She was always on time, sent us lots of photos and told us how they felt. The cats were calm and happy when we came back. I could see they were both brushed often and happy. She was easy to communicate with and just really a perfect cat sitter for our cats!”
“Jordan was a terrific sitter for our three cats. She was responsive, communicative and thorough in her care and her updates. We really appreciated her notes on how everything was going at home and how much our cats enjoyed her care. We have two cats that receive medication and Jordan seemed very comfortable and confident in caring for them. We'd definitely recommend Jordan and would use her services again!”

“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”
