“This was my first time using Chrissy’s services (drop in visits) and she did a wonderful job! She gave me regular updates to let me know how my pet was doing while I was away. She was very responsive and was very mindful of care instructions to ensure my pet was well taken care of and happy. Chrissy is very nice and took the time to meet me in advance of the service to make sure me and my pet felt comfortable with her. I would recommend her to others.”


“Francesca did a great job taking care of my cat again while I was out of town for two weeks! It was so nice to know my senior cat was in good hands, and Francesca was great at keeping me updated -- fantastic communication. Highly recommend booking Francesca to watch your furbaby. Thank you so much!”


“Judy did an excellent job caring for our Twin cats Salt and Pepper while we were on vacation. We came home to a clean place and happy cats. Judy provided pictures and great communication throughout the duration of the task. Salt and Pepper would be very exited to see Judy again”


“Ellie was absolutely wonderful and took excellent care of my 2 kitties! She sent plenty of pictures and gave updates. She really cared about them and took extra time to play with them and give them attention. One of our cats is very shy around strangers but he warmed up to Ellie immediately. She came by for a introductory meeting to go over the feeding schedule and while we were away she was great about providing updates and staying in contact. Truly great service!”


“Dominique was amazing with my 2 cats during all her visits! She responded quickly to messages and went above and beyond to care for my pets. I definitely recommend Dominique to anyone!”



“Maureen was great and extremely reliable. She kept us updated and was genuinely caring to our cat. We would definitely use her services again. We could actually relax enjoy our vacation knowing Maureen was taking care of our cat.”


“Grace checked in on our cat twice a day for a week, feeding him his wet food, playing, cleaning his litter box and leaving fresh water. She was very communicative and always on time for the early morning feeds. She cleaned all of our cat’s food dishes and swept up any crumbs from his food and litter box. We very much appreciated her looking after our guy. It was nice not worrying about him while we were gone. Thank you!!”


“Valerie was wonderful! The app shows she was timely and she sent updates as well as the cutest pics of them enjoying their time together. We will definitely book with Valerie again.”


“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”


“Kristine did an amazing job taking care of my challenging Homestead! we went away for one week and came back to healthy animals and well cared for gardens. We are so grateful for Kristine‘s careful attention to our beloved pets and garden.”


“Megan watched our cats while we were out of town for a week, and we couldn’t be more pleased! She was incredibly reliable, arriving within our agreed time frame each day, and her communication was excellent. We loved receiving daily updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind. It’s such a relief to know our pets were so well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend!”


About: As a dog lover with experience in training and raising my own during quarantine, I would make sure your pet gets the specialized attention they need. I'm also available on short term notice and can work with your schedule to ensure your dog gets the care they need. Im currently completing my graduate degree at Vanderbilt University this summer online. I have class at 2-3:30 on Tuesdays, but for projects I can make my own schedule for those so I am generally flexible! I would treat your pet with the same love and care as if they were my own. Whether it be long walks, playing time, early mornings or late nights, I would make sure they feel safe and comfortable wherever they may be. I am also happy to provide any additional care or attention they need.

“Mikayla was fantastic, even our standoffish cat was comfortable with her. She gave excellent updates and spent extra time as possible. We so appreciate her and would be happy to book again!”


“Amber was awesome, we couldn’t have had a better experience. She was very proactive with her communication with us, and was always on time for her visits with Benji. She always stayed until Benji ate all his food, and made sure to give him some cuddles afterwards. We will definitely be booking with Amber going forward!!”



About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From the time I was little, pets have always been part of my life—and I know just how special they are to a family. That’s why I treat every pet like my own. I’m calm, careful, loving, and reliable. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also leave your home just the way I found it—clean and respected. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, routines, or quirks, and I’ll always communicate openly so you feel at ease while you're away. I’d be honored to give your pet the love and attention they deserve and give you peace of mind in the process. Let’s chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member—I can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make space in my schedule—especially on weekends and holidays—to be available for walks and drop-ins. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, so I’m available throughout the day. During the school year, my availability shifts more toward evenings and weekends. I plan ahead to ensure each visit gets my full attention, and I’m always happy to adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Being around animals is something I genuinely look forward to—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, or favorite toys. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and always keep pets leashed on walks unless directed otherwise. I stay calm and attentive, especially around other animals or unfamiliar environments, to keep your pet safe. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and happy while giving you peace of mind.

“Cindy took good care of my two cats, reached out when she had questions, and kept me posted with photos and updates. She was also flexible in adjusting visit timing and easy to communicate with. I look forward to having her visit my cats next time we're away!”


About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I’m currently not working and have very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. I am available throughout the day and over the weekends. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.
