Crystal did an amazing job taking care of my senior cats, she took time to build trust and gave one his daily medicine. We'd reccommend her to another pet parent for sure! Thank you Crystal!

We’re always a but worried leaving our furry friends behind when we travel. But Jessica kept our worries at bay, and did an excellent job looking after our kitties! She provided updates each day and was even able to get our shy kitties to open up to her! We’ll definitely book again and are so grateful for all of her help!

Jacquelyn did a great job taking care of my kitten on his first time alone. She followed all instructions exactly, kept in contact with any changes, and took great photos of him playing with her. It was such a relief to know he was safe and happy with her while we were gone.

About: Hi! I work remote Friday - Monday , which means I am available weekends to give your dog PLENTY of love. I grew up with my own dog, so I know how much your baby means to you and I would love to give them SO much love while you are away. I promise to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets frequent attention, timely walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just before or after work. My flexibility also makes it easy to adapt to your pet’s routine and needs, whether that’s multiple walks, medication timing, or extra play and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I’m very mindful about following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean and secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I’m attentive to doors, food safety, and overall comfort, and I always prioritize a pet’s well-being. I also communicate regularly and send updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

About: I've loved 3 dogs well into their old age over the last decade. I have always had a love for animals and have been blessed to be able to care for so many over the years. I understand how hard it is to leave them behind while on vacation, or worry about them while you're at work. I would feel better knowing someone like me was around to care for my friends when I'm not. Cash discount! I work from home Mondays and Fridays and am free on the weekends. I also only work until 3pm. This schedule leaves me plenty of time to care for my own fur friend, and yours! I have a modestly sized apartment that is very welcoming to furry pets. There's lots of grassy space for sniffing around outside and long walks.
