“Lupita did an excellent job caring for our very shy cats. She is responsive and communicates well. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“As always, Shylynn took great care of my senior boy. She sends tons of beautiful photos and is an excellent communicator. It makes it a lot easier to show up for my human family knowing that my cat has a really wonderful pet sitter.”
About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family and Hilo goes most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.
“Another amazing job by Melanie. My cat was cared for the whole time I was away, and was healthy and comfortable when I got home. The entire time I was away I got pictures and that piece of mind that is so hard to get when I leave my animal for so long.”
“Yuliya went above and beyond for my babies! She does not rush to leave, made sure to communicate anything necessary, followed directions, and our cats look very happy in all the photos she sent. Definitely recommend”

Nieves S.
“Hello Rover, Of course with every pet parent our fur babies are our families. We want the best for them and worry if they are well taken care of and safe. We need not worry with Nieves S. As she is a calm, kind, loving person. We had her stay at our house with Abby our boxer. Not only was I at ease and felt confident that my baby girl was in good company with Nieves; She also took care of my house as well. We were abroad for over 3 weeks and she left the house immaculate and Abby obviously missed her company. She is trustworthy and reliable. The saying is true “ our dogs know if you have a good soul”. Nieves S would be a valuable member to your organization. Sincerely Rita Sutton and Abby🐾”
