“Having just moved to a new area, I was extremely anxious about lining up a cat sitter for an pre-planned vacation. Dollie didn't disappoint! She came for a meet-and-greet to get to know the cats and understand my expectations about their care. She then followed those instructions to the tee for the 8 days we had her scheduled for. She was very communicative each day and let me know how everything was going with texts and pictures. I will definitely book Dollie again next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for a variety of dog breeds and ages. They’re all deserving of quality and consistent care that I can provide. Count on me! I’m a homemaker with a flexible schedule for you. I’m available for morning walks, afternoon check in, evening walks and whatever else your fur baby needs. I am attentive to my elder dog’s needs making sure to provide assistance as she walks up and down our stairs. When doing in home visits I am respectful and mindful to leave the home as it was when I arrived.
“We had a family emergency and needed to travel suddenly. Kristin responded so quickly when we asked if she was available, made time to come meet the cats the next day and go over the routine, and was great with the cats while we were gone. Both cats need medication and one is skittish enough that sometimes that can be challenging with new people/cat sitters, but she seemed to do great with Kristin! Photos and notes from each visit helped a lot too, knowing that the cats were doing well helped mitigate some of the stress.”
“Having Katie watch Winks and Wilson was one of the best decisions we made while out of town. She spent a lot of quality time playing with them each day, picked them catnip from the garden, and supurrvised (lol) them on the porch! Katie is our go to for the boys in the future! She’s the best!”
“It was a pleasure to meet with Carly on Thursday, we discussed some important things about Parker being taken care of, things he likes and also-the things that we need to be careful about him.”
“Lindsey was awesome! She stopped by a day prior to meet my feisty pet that doesn’t really let anyone touch her. The next day Lindsey started her shifts and my dog acted like she knew Lindsey from before! Awesome person. Will definitely use her services again!”

Nicole M.
“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Nikki For any dog walking + taking care of any animal. I have known Nikki for 20 years and in that time I have seen firsthand her incredible kindness to others and animals. Nikki would come take care of our dogs whenever my family was at work or school and also whenever we were on vacation. One of our dogs was not fond of very many people and especially not fond of anybody outside of the family. Nikki was the exception. Nikki consistently demonstrated a calm and gentle demeanor around our pets. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, always making sure our dogs and home were well taken care of.”
