“Abigail was so wonderful to have come do drop in visits for our cat! Our cat loved her and she was great to work with. We'll definitely be using Abigail again for future cat sits.”
“Kylie was wonderful with our dogs! They loved her and are happy to see her! I was nervous about leaving them for a week, especially with my older dog being on a demanding medicine, but as soon as I met her I was instantly reassured and far more comfortable! I cannot recommend her enough! We get pictures and updates as we ask for them and as an emotionally attached Fur Mom, that’s exactly what I need when I’m away from my babies. THANK YOU, KYLIE! ♥️”
“Couldn’t be happier! She took such good care of my boys! I think they really would not have minded me being gone longer. Will definitely be asking her to sit for them again. She was great! Thank you so much!”
About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I can take care of pets anytime of the week when needed, though I do have an online college class Monday through Thursday that's from 1-3:50pm. I can take it anywhere since I have a laptop and tablet to work with. I will have that schedule until June 26th. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.
About: I've been caring for people's furbabies for many years in my home and staying at the clients homes. I'm very patient and flexible in caring for these pups (and cats!).

You can trust me to be gentle with your pet and give them the care and safety they need. If they need walks, play time, whatever, I can provide! I am currently able to have a flexible schedule and have minimal life responsibilities. Therefore I have quite an open schedule and am willing to accommodate almost anything! Again, I am flexible and willing to think outside the box to meet the needs of your family. I communicate frequently with the client to best understand the needs of the furbabies. I will make sure the animals (and humans) have the opportunity to build a relationship to establish trust and confidence in my ability to provide high quality of care.

I currently travel the states with my husband for his job. I am free all hours of the week. I can check on your pets or simply walk them for you! Unfortunately, we move every month so I can not do long term visits. I am honored to help out as much as I can. A pets safety is my top priority! I never let the pets out of my sight and follow all pet instructions carefully. My 13 year old dog is on several medications, so I am very particular about how someone else takes care of her.
