Cat Sitting in Foresthill

“Nancy’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She’s responsive, eager to make sure all my animals are well taken care of. Whether it’s walking my rat terrier or making sure the heater is working so that they don’t get cold at night, she’s thoughtful and goes the extra distance. And she sends me pictures of the dog and cats at every visit in real time. She’s just wonderful.”

“Kandace is the only person I have ever let take care of my dogs. I am very cautious who I let care for them and I know with out a doubt I can trust her completely.”

“Nicque has many years of experience watching and caring for dogs and cats of various age and needs. She is professional, reliable, and passionate. She took care of our 100lb puppy giving him the attention and playful energy he needed. She has vet office experience and has worked with many demeanors of pets.”

“Meaghan has grown up around animals. As a young child, she learned to take care of rabbits and guinea pigs and feels comfortable around small animals. She loves cats and has been surrounded by them for many years. She has experience with difficult cats, medicating cats, and dealing with complex dietary needs. She is also good with dogs and makes sure they get sufficient playtime and exercise.”

“Ashley was great! Very professional, lots of questions, left nothing to chance. She obviously loves animals and I would wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“I can give Olivia high marks on pet care. She stayed with us for a few months during Covid 19 and our puppy was transformed from a scatterbrain to a listening attentive learner. Olivia quickly became a favorite with our pup Frida for her loving but consistent manner. Olivia is reliable, conscientious and loves dogs ... and they love her too!”

“Sophia was a perfect fit to care for my fur baby, Florence. She was accountable, trustworthy, and took care of Florence like she was her own! I would recommend Sophia to any of my friends and strangers alike. A true bond was formed and I’m so thankful to have found Sophia to care for Florence while I am away! Thank you!”
