Lisa was very communicative with her daily updates. She made good friends with my extroverted cat and worked around the quirks of my introverted cat. She was very respectful of my property and time. I came back to healthy and happy cats!

Taylor was great to work with. He was punctual and took time to love on my baby and make sure she was doing good. They played with her favorite toys and cuddled a bit. I knew that my kitty was in great hands with Taylor and I trust him like family with my babies.

Sarah is fantastic! We did a meet and greet before and she is clearly a natural with animals. My dog LOVED her, and I immediately felt comfortable with her because of how attentive to him she was. During her visit she sent photos, let me know when she arrived and departed per my request (I’m new to the app and wasn’t sure it would alert me; she said she thought it would but she’d send messages anyways). She even send a video when she noticed my dog favoring one of his back legs, which is thankfully normal for him, but something I failed to mention. Sarah was detail oriented and had great communication; I will absolutely be booking her again!

About: I have cared for and raised a number of pets over the years. Would love to be able to care for yours. Very loving home. I am self employed and able to make my own hours. I would be able to give your pet all the time and attention he/she needs. I would care for only one dog at a time so I can give them my sole attention. I do have a 8 year old cat but he has been raised around dogs his whole life. I lost my 12 year old Doberman back in April of last year. I cared for him from pup on up to his very last days. I am very patient and loving with animals as I have always had a pet in my home. I love going on walks and live close to the lake which has wonderful walking trails. Your pet would get plenty of love, attention and exercise 😊

About: I’ve been a pet person since birth. My mom was a pet nurturer at home and for work. We had everything from horses, dogs, cats, ferrets & parrots. In my adult years I’ve had three huskies of my own and four cats. Having huskies is a real treat although sometimes a hard one! I’m comfortable with long walks and big dogs. Willing to help with any kind of furry or feathery pet ya got! I’m currently figuring out my next steps in life, taking my time and being thoughtful ! So currently I have nothing but time and energy to give. I live in Bay View and have a fenced in yard. I also have a spare bedroom for any pets that would need some alone time. I have no dogs currently but two cats, one who would want to be friends with any cat, dog or person I bring into the home and the other likes her alone time.

Mia dropped in to take care of my cats when I was out of town. She did a great job trying to make them feel comfortable and keep up their normal routine. It was also great to know that someone was there to check in with them. She sent check-in pictures of the cats and they even warmed up to her being there. It was wonderful to have Mia take care of the cats.

About: Currently an owner of 2 dogs, one that is senior. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! New to the area and would love to come care for your pet and meet new friends, furry and not! I work from home and travel about once a month. I am fairly flexible to pop in during the day and let dogs out, feed them and take them on walks! I go above and beyond for my personal pets and I would do the same for yours! They are special and I want to be sure they have the best life while we have them!

Lisa did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took the time to meet our cats beforehand and confirm that she’d be able to administer oral medication to one of them during our trip. She also took great care of our home and cleaned up litter that I know our messy cats spilled outside of their litter boxes and also played with them during their visits (which she took pictures of and I very much appreciated while we were gone!). Overall amazing experience with Lisa, will definitely book with her again in the future!

Emma is the best! There’s honestly only positive things I could say, she is so easy to communicate with and the genuine care for my dog she has is obvious! Ive felt comfortable leaving her in the hands of my dog and home every time she’s come over which in my opinion is the biggest complement! Me and Journey are so glad to have you there when I can’t be, see you soon and thank you always Emma!!

Julia has been helping me transition my new 5 month lab/boxer puppy to his new home with her drop in visits. She’s very eager to help practice basic commands, crate train, and get my pup comfortable walking around his new neighborhood. Julia asks great questions, communicates quickly, is flexible, and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup for the first time!

Julia was great! She accepted a sitting request from us on short notice which was really appreciated. She came over to meet our Toast so she could meet him and we could see them interact. Toast had a great time when they met and I can tell from the pictures she took during the drop-in that Toast had fun! We’re so glad Julia took such great care of our boy in the hour she came to watch him! :)
