“JB took amazing care of our two cats when we had to go out of town unexpectedly over Thanksgiving!! She handled their care in the most professional manner, perfectly following the care instructions to make sure both cats got the food and medicine they needed.

About: I am 18 years old and love all animals! I am fairly young so I do not have much experience on this app but I have sat for people and have some personal experience with animals. I would be available most weekends. I am a full time college student and work Monday-Friday just looking to make some extra income for myself. I would not bring the pets into my own home just for the respect of the members in my household. But I would gladly walk, feed, or play with any of the fur babies.
“We had to leave our cat for the first time ever and were nervous to do so until we met Mallory. She was super friendly, communicative and really cared about our fur baby as if she was her own. She gave us updates every time she checked in and sent pictures any chance she could. Mallory went above and beyond, bringing in packages from the front porch and even brought our empty garbage cans back from the curb while we were away. Couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for our girl. Will absolutely be calling her anytime we need someone to check in on our cat and we couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Amy showed up on time for her drop-in visit and sent me pictures of my pup while she was there. It was good to know he was getting some love and attention while we were away for the day!”
