I could not have been happier with the care my animals got from Bethany and Aaron. I was gone for 20 days, and they went above and beyond what I asked of them to make sure everyone was not only cared for, but happy. I got consistent updates, and they treated Cupcake like one of their own. I 100% will be using them every time I travel!

Everything went great! DeDe was punctual, communicative, and has a great personality. We scheduled a meet and greet, getting a lay of the land. My cats were well cared for.

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 :-)

Ruth did an amazing job caring for my dogs. They can be difficult with one being just a puppy and the other being older and very nervous but she did an excellent job making sure they were taken care of.

Good communication! Sent me numerous photos during her check ins with my two cats, even fed my fish for me which was extremely helpful. Always on time and interacted with my cats, making them comfortable while I was away.

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.

About: I’ve pet sat for a teacher, best friend and my aunt. I’ve worked with reactive dogs and dogs of different sizes and backgrounds, even mine. With every animal that I work with and take care of, I treat them like my own. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals thanks to working at pet supermarket.

While in a clients home, I will play your dog(s) for as long as they want with breaks in between. I will keep the house clean from any messes that may be made. While in my care, your pet will be treated with respect and I will love them as my own.

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.

About: Life-long animal lover and future vet, dedicated to providing expert care and comfort for your furry babies. This will also be my 3rd year taking veterinary classes! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time on my hands and I’d still be doing this when school starts back up. I have a fenced in backyard and I have 2 Yorkies that love meeting other dogs and cats. I have one cat that is also very friendly.

About: I’ve had dogs in my house for my entire life. Seriously, not a single day without a dog! I currently have 2 mini dachshunds, which if you know, can be known as one of the trickiest breeds. They are my babies, and they’ve inspired me to use my love of animals for good! I also have experience volunteering at the SPCA, caring for both small and large breeds. I work from home and have opportunities throughout the day to use my time for animal care. I live in a highly residential area that puts me very close to a lot of homes who may need care. I will follow the owner’s directions exactly, and treat their dogs as my own. I love spending time outside, allowing the dogs to get plenty of fresh air and play time.

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
