“From Day 1, Lauren has consistently went above and beyond for our kitties! She saved our vacation by jumping on our last minute request, and was able to squeeze us in for a meet and greet before we left. She is incredibly hard working, super communicative, and diligent! We got extremely thorough daily updates, full of details, and the pictures!! All the pictures and videos were the highlight! I knew our kitties were not just being very well taken care of, but also having so much fun! Dare I say, a vacation of their own! Lauren is the absolute best!!”

“Kitty crew all loved her. My oldest cat is normally my judge of good babysitters because of her skittish nature. Natalie had her out of hiding and playing on the first visit. Mira doesn't even come out of hiding for my family (and she used to live with them).”

“Alicia went above and beyond for us. She took care of all of our critters - even the non traditional ones. She was always on time, sent lots of pics and was great to work with. I'd definitely book her again for our next trip. :)”

“Stephanie was quick to respond, communicative, gracious, trustworthy, and most of all - my cat liked Stephanie and clearly felt comfortable. No issues whatsoever, Stephanie made this an easy process and took great care of my girl. Would book with Stephanie again.”

“Lisa was amazing! We left our cats for over a week which was a long time for them, they can be a little upset with us when we get home, but they were happy and curious, so I know Lisa spent some time each day with them playing and talking to them. She sent pictures everyday and was very quick to respond to any of our questions. She was absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend her! We'll definitely use her again in the future!”

“Once again Carley was the perfect sitter for our 4 finicky cats, one who requires an inhaler twice a day. We could tell our cats appreciated her almost as much as we did, as they looked truly happy in the checkin pics and when we got home. She even took the time to play with them and can tell she truly cares about the wellbeing of all pets. Thanks again! Highly recommend and will use her for all future sitting needs.”


“Mia was an excellent sitter for our cats while we were away. She was prompt when responding to our booking requests and was easy to talk to during the meet and greet. Her notes after the visits were detailed and gave us comfort knowing everyone was doing well. She even took the time to play with the cats and give them each some attention during her short visits. Thank you Mia!”

“Chloe did a great job with our ducks! They were happy and healthy when we got back. She went above and beyond when it ended up being colder than expected. I appreciate all the pictures she sent and the care that she gave them. We would book with her again!”
“Ronny was very professional and thorough when I needed him to come over and take out my 15 month old Brittany, Nova. She can definitely be hyper, but he was patient and went above and beyond what I would have expected. I will definitely contact Ronny the next time I need someone to check on Nova.”

About: I've always had pets growing up where I learned to love & train them. I've also had several litters. I am certified in Animal First Aid and will absolutely love them like my very own!! You can truly relax while away because they will be in great hands. Hi!! I'm an animal whisperer that will turn their walks into adventures, and cuddles on demand. I will keep your babies happy, exercised and spoiled. I'm available for walks, overnights or drop-ins. I have an acre of land so they have plenty of room to run, we go on adventures thru the woods. And swimming!! Also can't forget snuggles.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m comfortable handling daily walks, feeding schedules, and basic care like refilling water and cleaning up after pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, whether that means going on longer, active walks or taking it slow with older dogs. I’m also dependable with timing and communication, so owners can trust that their pets are in good hands while they’re away. I have 5 dogs of my own and i don’t know what i would do without them. I’m currently working part time as a nursing assistant so i have plenty of time to spend time with your pups! The only days i would not be able to do are sundays and thursdays. Any other day i’m free all day! I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment both in my home and in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel secure and happy. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while caring for their pet. I also provide updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident their pet is being well taken care of. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for at all times.
About: I was raised in a home with animals my whole life. I was raised around dogs as part of the family. I love and care for all animals as they are my own. These amazing companions are blessings and deserve all the love they can get. Stress less when you go away and send them to the kind of care they deserve! I currently work from home. Since I am home during the day, I'm able to be there for their needs and give them love and attention. I go into the office twice a month and won't be available those days. I have a very social Samoyed dog of my own that will love to play with and keep your dog entertained while they are here. I am able to crate your dog if desired for their care.

Outstanding service which includes comprehensive description of on-site visit to include pictures and descriptions of any problems which arose. Also, understood and executed all directions and guidance provided. I would have a hard time going to someone else.

Kathleen was great with my cats! She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures of them everyday. I was worried my one cat would not make an appearance while she was there, but he came up to her every visit. He even let her hold him. I would hire her again in an instant.
