Carmen did a great job caring for our cats over the Christmas holiday. She responded quickly to our booking and was available to come by and meet them on relatively short notice. The cats took to her immediately and we knew we were leaving them in good hands. Carmen sent many photos each day of the three of them playing together. Highly recommended!

We couldn't be happier with the care our two kitties received! Nathan went above and beyond to follow their special feeding and litter routine, ensuring they were comfortable and well taken care of while we were away. It's always nerve-wracking leaving pets behind, but we felt completely at ease with the regular updates and photos. Our girls looked happy and relaxed, and it was clear they were in great hands. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter!

Jen is an extremely responsible and responsive! She helped care for our 14 yr old cat Cooper while we were away for our wedding and not once did we question whether our fur baby was in good hands! Cooper has a bit of a more complicated feeding / medication schedule, and Jen was more than accommodating to ensuring coop got his meds on time! We loved all the pictures and thorough updates while we were gone — very thankful for Jen’s help in caring for our fur baby while we were gone! I definitely recommend Jen and absolutely plan to use her services in the future 🙂

Abby’s services are great! I used her for a 30 minute check in and asked her to play with my dog but he wasn’t in a playful mood so she walked him instead! She’s keen on listening to the needs of my dog. Will absolutely keep using her for drop ins and walks!

About: I am interested in short walks up to 30 minutes. I love dogs and would like to stay in my neighborhood. Thank you so much. I work w special needs adults during the week and would like to do something with my time off! Brief walks on the weekends and some evenings would be great. I don't have pets myself but grew up with dogs. My son has a cat, Biscuit, who I absolutely adore. Fortunately they live only a few miles away so I am able to see Biscuit regularly. My son texts me pics of her all the time!🥰 I adore animals and consider myself a responsible caregiver. I would love to do brief walks w dogs in my neighborhood. Thank you very much.

It was a treat to see all the pictures Julie took of our cats being adorable and clearly seeking her attention! Haha! We're looking forward to hiring Julie again for our next overnight stay!
