Thank you so much for taking care of our two kitties! This was the first time we had left them alone for more than a couple days, and it was such a relief knowing someone was going to check on them and make sure the older cat got her medication.

Kane is pretty shy usually when meeting new people, but my dad said he took right to her! She was great in letting me know what was happening during both drop in visits and super friendly! I definitely know who I will be booking when we need to go away again.

They are very easy to work with, very friendly, and they are good about special requests. Plus my cat doesn't hate them and attack them on sight like some other sitters, so they are definitely good people - always trust your pet's instincts about people!

Kylee took very good care of our cat Ginger! She went above and beyond. She’s very friendly and communicates well. She gives lots of details and it’s obvious that she loves pets and treats them like they’re her own. We highly recommend her if you’re looking for a great pet sitter!

Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)

Thanks so much for watching the boys this week! And of course for always going above and beyond, like taking the trash down and turning off the water when the toilet didn’t stop running. Always the best. We appreciate you!

DeDe is a lifesaver and was once again able to visit my pups twice on a Saturday when I had to be away. She is so good with them and as always the photos she takes are incredible. I'm so glad I found her.

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 15 and have experience with all different breeds! My first job was in a pet store, so I’m very familiar with caring for puppies and a large range of different pets! My pup has a chronic illness and requires medication daily, so I am experienced with administering medication as well. I am a stay at home fur mom and human mom and have open availability to check in on your pet(s). I can check in multiple times per day and can offer discounts for multiple days. Currently I am not offering services in my home for any pet. As our son gets older, we may decide to open up our home for puppy vacations

About: I have taken care of all of my families pets for most of my life. I also used to help my godmother with her pet sitting/walking business and through this learned the ins and outs of pet sitting and what different owners require! I currently work a part time job where I am given the schedule for the next week the week before, but I have 14 days to schedule off of work. So, my schedule is open as long as I am given well enough notice to be able to call off of work! My experience with my personal animals is that I feed, wash, and provide my pets with the care they need. My personal animals are in a fenced yard, but I frequently walk them around my neighborhood. With my cats I provide similar care, taking care of their litter and grooming and food needs.

Couldn’t have been better. Very attentive; played with them, gave them their desert-churro-sent multiple photos, indulged my cats’ foibles and mine. Kept me from worrying about them so I could enjoy a couple days out of town.
