As first-time clients with two energetic dogs, we couldn’t be happier with Caitlin. She is very reliable & kind and clearly an animal lover. Her communication was excellent providing us peace of mind while away. We are beyond thankful for such a positive experience and highly recommend her services!!

Lauren did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. From the time she replied to our request she took the time to listen and understand our challenges. Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.

had liz watch our 3 little dogs (one being a senior) she did great with communication while we were gone. I felt comfortable with her staying in our home the week we needed her. i left her a small cheat sheet of things we went over in the meet and greet to ensure she felt comfortable too.

Julia did a great job with Nima. My dog doesn’t trust very easily but she was patient and loving and after a few days Nima totally took to her. I am very grateful for how well she took care of her and how much love she showed her. I highly recommend Julia.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for my friends, neighbors and loved ones over the past 4 years. These have included dogs, cats, and once, a friend’s leopard gecko lizard! I pretty much like all animals of all sizes. If you hire me, your little (or big) buddy will be in safe, competent, and trustworthy hands, whether they need company during your vacation, or if we’re just out for a brief walk! I have flexibility to care for your pets and attend to their needs during work hours! I will always prioritize your pet first, and I will communicate any changes in my schedule well in advance. I can easily come by and help out your pet while you are out of town. I will happily play with your dog or cat, and will make sure their food, water and bathroom needs are taken care of.

Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have always had a dog. I truly love caring for animals and would be happy to help take care of yours with the same attention and care I give my own. and full availability over the summer. While I do have a part-time job, pet care is a top priority for me, and I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and fully present when caring for your pet. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving space with plenty of attention, supervision, and time for exercise and affection. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
