We appreciated all that she did, going above and beyond our expectations. Would 100% book with Fiona again!”

“We are traveling in an RV and had a couple of day long tours. Mishel came in to "walk" Maggie (Bicheon) once each day for about half an hour. She did fantastic and was great with her communications. Since we were in an RV we were difficult to find and it took extra effort for her to get to Maggie. I'd give her 6 stars if Rover would allow it :-)”

This was evidence that she took tremendous care to make sure they were happy during her visits.”

“Allison is awesome! She took great care of our cat and provided detailed updates and photos with every visit. We would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hey there! I've been loving animals for years - from my first pet, a kitty named Savannah, to recently watching my parents' house and pets! I'm flexible, communicative, easy-going, and I'll give your home and pets love so you can focus during your work trip or enjoy your much-deserved vacation! I'm experienced watching and caring for cats, dogs, homes, and more! Reasonably priced, because we all know what groceries cost these days! I work Mondays and Fridays from home and Tuesday - Thurs downtown. I am best suited for dogs that don't need mid-day walks everyday because of this. For morning and evening walks and general cat care and house-sitting, my schedule works like a charm! I do not have a home suitable for bringing pets into! However, I'm committed to treating your home like my own with tremendous care, attention to detail, abiding by your house rules, and making sure that your pets are well tended to!
“Keturah did an amazing job with our girl, and we had a great holiday knowing our cat had a loving friend dropping in to see her once a day. Keturah’s daily reports were detailed and sweet, she seemed to know exactly what Adelaide wanted (cuddles!) and readily provided, and we loved getting cute pictures of our girl. Keturah was respectful and prompt, 10/10 will hire again.”

Allison is awesome! She took great care of our cat and provided detailed updates and photos with every visit. We would recommend her to anyone!
Rebecca was amazing! Cheesecake is usually shy the first time she meets someone new but she felt so comfortable with her during the meet and greet! That made me feel at ease. You can tell Rebecca is a serious cat lover. She really took care of her while I was away and sent daily photos. I will definitely be using her again in the future! 🥰❤️
Susan did such an amazing job taking care of my two cats while we were out of town. Very communicative and sent lots of pics! Will definitely use her again for our next trip!
Nikita did a great job taking care of our cat. She always responded to my texts in a timely manner. My cat seemed to really like her. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
