We so appreciated Eddie's willingness to do a last-minute drop-in visit for our puppy. He was considerate and friendly, and his care for animals is evident from his updates. Thank you again, Eddie!

Paige took on 2 visits for 3 cats at short notice. What a hero! (And she had to administer medicine as well!) excellent, clear communication and lots of photos so I could see my kitties were being well taken care of. Thank you so much, Paige!

Amy did a wonderful job checking in on Princess Leia! She was so loving, kind, and treated Leia as if she were her own. I only wish Amy lived closer — we’d have her care for Leia all the time.

Samantha took great care of my cat! She was very mindful of his eating and health, and looks like he had a lot of fun. I came home to a relaxed and happy kitten 🥰 highly recommend Samantha if you’re looking for someone kind, loving and thoughtful caring for your pets.

My kitty and I loved Anne! She made us feel comfortable by planning a meeting to get to know each other before I left on a long trip! Anne was considerate, always sent me photos of my cat, and gave me daily updates! Next time I am out of town I will definitely be using Anne again! Thank you so much!

Such a great dog sitter! My dog is a senior dog with quite a few specific needs - meds, food, etc. Noah was so wonderful! He did everything I asked and more. I know my dog was in great hands and that he truly cared about her. Thank you for taking the stress out of leaving for the week.

Grace was amazing! She is a natural. My dog doesn’t just like anyone, but she felt comfortable around Grace right away. She was flexible and willing to help accommodate a last minute request, as a dog owner is truly appreciated!

Aimee was great with my dogs! She showed up right on time, handled them confidently, and they warmed right up to her (treats definitely helped). This was just a prep visit for a longer stay, and I feel really good knowing they’ll be in her hands.

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. I have plenty of free time right now and can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.

Great with Otto. He had a family emergency and wasn't able to complete the drop-ins, but he was communicative about it, which I appreciate greatly.

About: I have experience caring for my family’s 3 cats for over 12 years. I have administered medicine, cleaned litter boxes, and picked up after accidents. I can adapt to different personalities, including nervous and reserved. I also have experience with dogs as I cared for my cousin’s dog on weekdays in highschool, lived with a roommate’s dog in college, and also recently lived with a puppy and walked her regularly from 5 months old to 1.5 years old. I work from home so my schedule can be flexible depending on the day! I also have 1 hour lunch breaks from 12-1pm every day. I am available on weekends as needed. I can walk your dog, play with your cat, give an afternoon snack, or clean the litter box! I love petting animals and will provide the type of care they need.
