“Caitlin is responsive and communicative! I know my Millie is in good hands whenever Caitlin can sit for her. Plus she updates with pictures and videos. Thanks for all that you do for Millie!”
“Stephanie was great checking in on my Australian Shepard mix while I was away. She took her on walks multiple times each day and was very responsive. She provided lots of detail and updates each time, and showed a lot of care for my dog and her anxiety, both giving her medication, pets, treats, and leaving music on for her when she left. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie and book her again in the future!”
“Does a fantastic job of taking care of my pup !!! Takes care of him like he's his own!! Definately recommend if looking for a trustworthy person to watch your animal !!!”
“Justine took excellent care of my beloved cat children while I went out of town! I worry especially about my oldest cat as she tends to be upset when I’m gone for a few days or more. Justine provided them with great care and kept my mind at ease. She was also flexible when I had to add on a date after my flight changed. Definitely recommend!!”

“I’ve booked Bethany multiple times to check in on my cats and she’s been so great and reliable each time. I love knowing my cats are in great hands while I’m out of town.”
About: Have lived with dogs my whole life and currently have 3 cats at home, but specifically have experience raising and training a puppy, walking a strong dog, cleaning up after dogs, cleaning and care of cats, and high energy dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs as my dachshund passed a few years ago. I currently work an 8-4 during the week, but have a lot of flexibility to leave during the day if needed for walks, potty breaks, etc. On the weekends and in the evenings I have no other commitments. I currently have 3 cats in my home so would only take other cats into my home. As for other people’s homes, I respect any rules you have when it comes to the care of your pet.
“Maddie was wonderful with Roxy! Roxy can be a little hesitant with meeting new people, but she warmed right up to Maddie. She did everything we requested and we loved the photos!”
“Anne was fantastic! Super easy to work with, excellent communication and very clearly someone who loves animals. As a first time user, I wasn't sure what to expect but when she came over for the initial meet&greet visit, I immediately felt eased about leaving our pets with someone new. Thanks for making leaving home so easy!! Would highly recommend and definitely try to book with her again in the future.”
“Lilly provided exceptional care for our sweet kitty!! She kept us informed and provided pictures and daily updates. Most importantly she provided peace of mind that our kitty was well cared for!!”
