“Jacqueline was great, very thorough, super kind, and easy to work with. She provided an update with every visit and was very understanding of my somewhat reclusive kitty. More than happy to vouch for her!”
“Krista came over to meet HiShawn before our trip. It took a minute but he did warm up to her. When she started to leave he started whining. He’s never done that before. Krista and HiShawn got along splendidly! Thank you, Keista”

“Sylvia was simply outstanding! She watched our cat for two weeks while we were away and I felt so calm knowing Mellie was in good hands.

“Masie was extremely helpful for the entire month I was gone. She accepted my booking with 2 days before my month long trip and kept me updated the entire time. In top of that, part way through the month, she accepted a change to the request to add additional days per week due to concerns. She was extremely helpful for peace of mind and the photos she sent every visit helped more than I would’ve thought!”
“Kailey was amazing to work with! She was thorough and accommodating for our specific requests for each cat. She gave daily detailed updates and sent photos.

“Ash did a fantastic job looking after Peanut for me. The communication and pictures were wonderful to reassure me that my goblin was fed, watered, and entertained while I was out of state. When I have to be away from home in the future, Peanut and I are looking forward to booking her services again!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 6 years old. He lived until he was 15 years old. He had a hard time in the end and I had to learn how to care for a senior dog who was partially blind and deaf. I also gained valuable experience working on a farm with 6 dogs who consistently followed me around. I have a heart for dogs of all age, especially senior dogs! I am currently not working as I have healthcare licenses being processed to Kansas. I am a student who is fully online so I have more than enough free time and flexibility. Right now I am taking care of my cat and kitten! I am all about cleanliness. I believe that having a clean pet environment can make the biggest difference for not only the owner, but the pet! I will work hard to keep your pet happy, healthy, and clean! I also believe that no pet ever gets enough playtime. My kitten is a ball of energy so I am a pro at playtime. My cats sleep through the night every night because they play practically all day!
About: I have owned dogs all my life, my dogs are currently 7 years old and 6 years old, i also own a 16 year old cat ive had since she was 4 weeks old and another 13 year old cat. I have experience from newborn to senior wether it be from cats to dogs.They're all unique in their own special way! I can't wait to get to know your furry friend! I love getting to know other pets and see what kind of personality they each have, that is unique to them and learn from. Play time, walks, cuddles, treats, anything on the table to make your furry friend feel comfortable! I can also watch/ feed horses and livestock if they are also on the property I can stop by before and after work Monday, Wednesday, Friday and anytime of day Tuesday and Thursday before 3:30pm.I can drop by any time on Saturdays and anytime before 3:30pm on Sundays I unfortunately do not provide in home pets care to any of my clients due to safety concerns for my four personal animals and clients animals
