Loved having Tessa check on my cat! She seems like such a lovely person and provided awesome updates on my cat which gave me great peace of mind. My cat seemed to love her, which was great because my cat can be a bit skittish with strangers. Tessa was great with communication and flexibility! Would definitely book again. Thanks again, Tessa!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, snakes, and lizards, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I’ve trained playful puppies, cared for senior dogs with extra love and patience, and made sure every pet felt safe and happy. Giving them attention and proper care has always brought me joy. Now, I’m excited to share that same passion with you and your pets! I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, working from home three days a week. As an early riser and an animal lover, I have plenty of time to care for your pets in the mornings, during the day, and even after work. Whether they need walks, feedings, or habitat maintenance, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I care for my two dogs like they’re my children, giving them endless love, attention, and the best care possible. Every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and cherished, and I’ll treat your dogs, cats, and other pets with the same kindness and dedication as I do my own. Im a big believer that walks are for the pets, not the walker, so I let them sniff, explore, and take their time for as long as they need. Their well-being always comes first!

She was extremely considerate, quick to respond, and Semi adored her! I was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest knowing that he was in good and caring hands with Briana. I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to establish a new dog sitter :)

Sloan will do a great job taking care of your pets, she is responsible and really loves all pets! She has watched my two cats and axolotl multiple times and I’ve always been so happy she was there. Sloan takes great care of the animals and communicates with you as well. I’ve also seen how much she loves her own dogs and all the care she provides for them. Sloan goes above and beyond for animals and I can’t recommend her enough to watch your pets!
