We really appreciated Keriann dropping in to look after our cat while away for 2 weeks. She followed all care instructions and even helped us out by bringing in our mail so our box didn’t get full while we were out of town which was much appreciated. Would definitely use her again!

Laura was amazing with my 3 dogs. I have a great dane and two puppies. This was her first drop in and she did amazing. She paid attention to detail, everything was cleaned prior to me coming home. When I came back home the puppies didn't have any spurs on them which is one of my big issues. I have already booked with her again! Thanks so much!!

Amy was so flexible in helping drop in and check on our two kitties while we were out of town! Our kitties are on special diets, and Amy was attentive to making sure they were fed appropriately. She also made sure to let us know how our fur babies were doing attitude wise during her daily check ins, which we really appreciated!!

Anya was amazing with our dog Freddie! She helped us out in a last minute pinch when we needed drop-in visits for the weekend. She came over to meet him beforehand and our dog trusted and felt comfortable with her instantly. She sent updates and photos through all of her visits and was very quick with communications. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!

Grace is such a great animal person. She connected with our shy senior cat Simon instantly, sending us great pics and reports about him daily. We could tell that Simon was enjoying her visits, acting affectionate and relaxed. I must admit that we worried about leaving Simon behind with a stranger, but Grace won us over with her diligence, great attitude, and trustworthiness. We finally found a perfect pet sitter for our little guy!

About: Over the years I have spent time learning how to administer medications whether it's orally, topical, or injections, while also learning to be patient, understand body language, and meeting animals where they are. I have more experience with cats than dogs, however I grew up with dogs in my family home and babysit my friends dogs for them all the time! I can walk, play, snuggle, love, and enjoy spending my days with your pup just as well as I can lounge, pet, play, and love your kitties too. :) I am part time in school online at the moment, so my schedule during the week is very flexible! Weekends are open as long as availability allows - I am open to mornings, afternoons, and evenings as needed. Though I cannot offer boarding in my own home or stay overnight in yours, I can tend to your animals at whatever time is best for them and for you! Just let me know what the routine is and I can be there.

Thanks Van for a job well done! My cats and I appreciated having someone here to keep them company in our absence. Van was attentive and conscientious, sent adorable pictures and sweet daily updates, and left our home spotless. We returned to find our cats quite content and felt satisfied that they were well cared for. We will certainly hire Van again in the future.

I’m so happy we found Gladys and if we were staying in Florida after this booking we would 1000% have her watch our cats again. We had her do pop in visits for our two cats for two weeks while we were on vacation. She was amazing with communication and took photos of our girls every time she came so we could see them. Even our grumpy girl seemed to warm up to her by the end of our visits. We cannot thank her enough and highly recommended her!

Francesca has a genuine love for animals and it is clear in every interaction. She will go above and beyond to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and happy. Francesca is responsible, attentive, and incredibly intuitive when it comes to animals’ needs. She treats every pet as if it were her own, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.
