“Having 3 kitties, 2 with specific requirements, Monica took her time to care for each one. Pictures and updates with each visit made us confident that they were in good hands. We came home to find very happy and well cared for cats. Thank you Monica!”
“My cat Chidi loves Macy! She took the time to get him to open up, which is a big ask because he is shy around new people. She also sent wonderful photos and I could tell he was having fun.”

“Sarah was great! She was very attentive to my instructions and was consistent in her communication. Whenever potential problems came up she was good about contacting me for my input and we were able to figure things out. Would definitely recommend her services for peace of mind about your fur babies while away! ^_^”

“Thank you Cathy for watching our 5 month puppy , EllieMae for several hours on Saturday. The next time we vacation in the area, you will be on our minds for future pet sitting needs. We highly recommend your services to anyone that needs pet care!”

“Anthony did a wonderful job with the drop in visits with our dog! He was very professional and took great care of her! Loved the pics he sent and his punctuality he displayed. Will definitely call on him again!”
About: Growing up we had all kinds of animals from small to large dogs (Dachshund, Husky, Med-Large mutts) , an outdoor cat, fish, hermit crabs, lizards, and birds. I'm proud to have helped my Cockatiel live to be 14 years old. As a lifelong animal lover I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. From age 11-13 I took horseback riding lessons and learned basic horse care as well. I've trained younger dogs up to the intermediate level and have taught some agility training. I currently help take care of a senior dog in my home as well as a lively younger Dachshund. I'm happy to chat more to see if its a fit for me to support you in your pet care needs! My current schedule is pretty wide open, I'm typically available after 8 am until 9 pm in the evenings. I can do drop ins, walks, or hang out at your home for up to 4-6 hour blocks during the day. I'm currently not able to have your pets in my home unless it is a non cat or dog species. However I am happy to give your animals my undivided attention as I walk them or play with them at your residence. I'm very clean, considerate, and organized. I stay highly communicative and happy to take lots of photos and videos for updates :)
About: I have always had pets growing up, anywhere from birds and pigs to dogs and cats. I love them all. I currently have 3 cats who are my children. Don't be worried, I'm also a dog person! I intend on going back to school next fall, and just left my last job, so my schedule is very flexible. Almost any time of any day is available. I will follow all rules set forth regarding your best interest for your pets. If I am ever to board, I have a fully fenced in yard and plenty of love to give.
“It was my first time using Rover and Meghan really came through for me last minute when I had to leave for a weekend. I felt much more at ease knowing my guy was at home, somewhere he felt comfortable, instead of being boarded in a kennel. Even though he can get a little rowdy, he and Meghan got along great, and I got photo updates twice a day, which was a big relief for me. Thanks so much Meghan!”

About: I've been around animals for my whole life, and have been taking care of other people's animals for at least half of it. I have pet sit before for both dogs and cats, and my main priority is always to keep the animals healthy and happy! Whether you need a hand for a day or help all week, I'm down to do everything from taking pets to vet appointments, going on walks, feeding and bathing, giving medications, and (of course) picking up poop, whether it's in the grass or in a litter box! I am in college but have a relatively flexible schedule and can easily do drop-ins and give walks most of the day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Will update schedule during winter break! I live in an apartment created in the lower level of a house and would need to have permission from the landlord to be able to host animals there (in addition to my own dog). I am always willing to go to a client's house! I have my own car and am able to take your pets anywhere they need to go!
“Laura was amazing with our pets! She kept ups notified and followed all of our instructions as well as kept the house as clean as we left it. Will definitely book with Laura again.”
About: T.ender L.oving C.are of your babies while you are away: long or short-term, drop-ins, one-time, or regular care. Overnights, daily, weekly, monthly, anxiety issues, senior care, special needs — all okay! I’ve had cats, dogs, and fish since I was young. I also have previous veterinary and emergency veterinary assistant experience. I’m an experienced aquarist, plant and garden caregiver, and have hand-raised baby birds. I adore fish, guinea pigs, chickens, reptiles and amphibians too, so no worries if you have multiple pets because I take excellent care of them all! My own babies include: Hestia my newest adopted kitty, a chihuahua named Kiwi, 6 pond goldfish, 4 chickens, a bunch of plants, and I dabble in aquaponics (growing fish and plants together). I’m mature, responsible, detailed, and trustworthy. Taking clients now until my schedule is filled. Hope to see you soon! Feeding, care, play, and love — all day every day! We’ll probably listen to some music and do some howling too! We’ll take field trips to the beach as often as possible. HOUSE SITTING: I have deep respect for my client’s pets and home as I am also a property owner and property manager. I’m mature and professional and I listen carefully to important client instructions. I assure excellent care. ONSITE: 4 apartments formerly Airbnb rentals now used as pet accommodations — and a huge, fenced in backyard. We have lots of room for plenty of pets that won’t be in contact with one another (so no worries about getting along with others). All pets must have current vaccinations and must be on prescription flea/tic meds.
“Heidi was fantastic. Great communication. She was flexible when we discovered we needed a different day. She fed Sadie and cleaned up her mess. We would definitely use Heidi again and recommend her to others.”
“Chad watched over our golden retriever for drop-in visits. He was right on time and spent time with her taking her on walks and playing ball. He always sent a picture of her at each visit. She loves Chad and we can’t wait to try boarding her with him next time.”

Aurora was wonderful! She dropped-in to check on our cats while we were out of town and for every visit I got plenty of pictures and could tell the cats really enjoyed her presence. She also left the house in great shape. Overall, I would say Aurora was reliable and great with our cats!
