“Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again”

While I've never owned a cat, I'm a fan of them too and would be happy to care for feline family members with the same patience and attention.

I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big act of trust, so I treat every visit as if I were looking after one of my own. My goal is to keep their routine familiar, comfortable, and full of reassurance, whether that means walkies, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I'll follow your instructions carefully, make sure they have plenty of fresh water and attention, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best mate is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again
In my first experience entrusting Hannah with the care and walking of my dog, I have an English bulldog that necessitates a stroller cooling vest and hot pavement shoes. Consequently, a considerable amount of preparation is involved in walking my dog. Hannah effectively communicates with me and provided exceptional care for my dog, Venus.
What a good thing to be able to trust someone with your dog and with Tiffany I felt it 100%. She was communicative- sending lots of updates and photos. From the photos it’s evident how happy my Nera was with being cared for and walked by Tiffany. Would rebook without hesitation.
Samantha was a joy to meet and to work with. She was prompt and friendly and Lady was not shy about walking with her . I would highly recommend her and would definitely request her services again in the future. The extra bonus was that she was very conveniently close by.
