“Thanks again for all your help literally herding the cats! I appreciate you taking in the garbage and packages, too! Everyone but Leigh Ann showed up on our first night back, hopefully she'll return sometime today. I loved getting the photos and updates during each of your visits, let me know and see how they were all doing. I will definitely connect again next time we're out of town and need some help with them.”


“Shannon is WONDERFUL!! From the very first drop in, she relieved all of my fears about using the service for the first time and sent me such wonderful pictures of my babies. She kept my cats happy and feeling loved. I definitely recommend her, and will be requesting her services in the future!! :)”


“Brooke was wonderful with our two cats! She came to meet them prior to watching them and took amazing care of them while we were on vacation. Both cats actually came out and played with her and they were well fed and spoiled with tuna! We would definitely book again with her, you can most definitely count on her watching your furry friends!”


“Thomas was wonderful with our dog! He dropped in on her while we were out of town for 3 nights and couldn’t board her because she was getting over a respiratory infection. She had a few unexpected behaviours while we were away and also got an upset stomach one day and made quite a mess, but Thomas handled it all wonderfully. He communicated with us about everything that went on and what he did about it, and he sent us pics and videos throughout the trip so we could know she was being well cared for. We would absolutely trust him again with our dogs.”


“Can't say enough good things, every day she's stopped in to check on my pup, he's had a great day playing fetch, running around, getting some of his energy out. His commands have gotten better, crate training better, and she's given me good tips and tricks that she's observed spending time with my pup. Also takes and sends great little videos and pictures of my pup playing or being crazy whenever she does a drop in.”



“Haley watched our 5 indoor/outdoor cats for 4 days while we were out of town. She took lots of photos and gave us detailed updates about how they were doing, which ones stuck around and which ones were on the go. She brought in some mail and packages, too. Haley made sure they had extra food available if they didn't show up, gave them fresh water, and cleaned out the litter box for them. They even got some play time in with somebody new, which I'm sure a treat for them! Thank you, Haley!”


“Ali was wonderful! Took great care of my dog and sent great pictures along with visit recaps. Definitely recommend.”


“Jessica your the best She did a fantastic job with my two yourkies My babies just loved her.Even did a little extra help for me Thanks again will be in touch again”


“Susan went above and beyond. She met with me a day before drop in visit to ensure Rajah was comfortable with her. She gave me updates through her visit, went for nice long walks, and made sure rajah felt love while I was away. Definitely recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own. When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“Ariela took great care of our cats. She was reliable and communicated with us after every visit. We will definitely ask her first when we need care for our cats.”


About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.

“Christy did an amazing job with my cats while we were traveling. She spent lots of time with them even though one cat was a little shy. She sent tons of pics every day and was very detailed. Gave me great peace of mind that my animals were taken care of while I was away. Thanks!”

About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.

Tonisha S.
“Toni is a great worker who strives until the work is done. On the days where I would work late, she would feed my dog, take her out, and clean up. She has shown me countless times that she is a hard worker and loves what she does. One time my small Boston Terrier ate a cap that blocked her airway. Toni got the cap out and did CPR. About two minutes later my dog was running around playing again. I still call her to this day when I need her, and we met almost 5 years ago. Toni doesn’t disappointed.”
