Highlights
Pet care experience
Hands-on substitute pet parents
We have both grown up with and taken care of pets for most of our lives, and are excited to spend time with your pets (furred, feathered, scaled, or otherwise)! As hands-on cat parents ourselves, we treat your pets how we treat ours, which includes: - Lots of cuddles (or vibe cuddles if they're not particularly into being pet - our baby, Chompirras, prefers to just be looked at most of the time lol) - Plenty of activities curated specifically for your pet to keep them entertained (ours love cardboard puzzle boxes, yo-yos, and being given tours of different parts of the house) - Lots of pictures (they just look cute literally all the time - what are we supposed to do, not take a picture?) - Careful preparation of meals. Our cats deserve to have their own personal chefs - Administration of medication, if needed. (We have to give ours oral medications on a regular basis, and have successfully given meds to pill-dodgers in the past) - Monitoring for any suspicious behavior/ailments. We know how good some pets can be very skilled at hiding when they're not feeling well, so we keep an eye out for indicators that they may not be feeling their best - Catering to their little quirks. Does your pet only eat when someone pets them? Sleeps best with a bedtime story? We're not strangers to the many kind of personalities and emotional needs our smaller friends can have. A little bit about both of us: Sarah (she/her) is from Austin, TX and has been professionally pet-sitting since 2016 for many repeat clients. She has cared for the family dogs and her cat, Chompirras, for 13 years. Eko (they/them) is from a small farm in Rutherfordton, NC and has professionally pet-sat with Sarah since 2022. They cared for chickens (egg-chickens, each with a name), lizards (gecko and iguana), cats, and dogs their entire childhood, and two cats, Yue and Zuko, since 2020. As a team, we make sure that all your pet's needs are covered, day-in and day-out. We approach each pet that we have cared for with empathy, friendliness, and meticulousness. While we can never replace a pet parent while you're away on vacation or a work trip, we do our best to make your pet(s) feel as comfortable and secure as possible until you're back home with them.

Safety, trust & environment
When we care for your pet in your home, we keep life as normal as possible for them, i.e., sticking to their normal feeding, exercise, play, and sleep schedules. We also give them their space (if they're more introverts) or interact with them lots (if they can't get enough attention).
Ratings and reviews
They were awesome! Our dogs were happy, cared for, fed, and we got pictures of their time with Eko and Sarah, and which made us feel calmer about their care while we were out
They did an amazing job with my rambunctious puppy and even survived witching hour. 10/10 recommend! Thank you so much Ekko and Sarah!!
Eko and Sarah are the best!! They always go above and beyond when following instructions and are always kind and gentle with Cleo!
The fact that they even saw my second cat (who hides from truly everyone) demonstrates their kindness and consistency with my animals. They are prompt and communicative, and can handle both my high energy puppy and my timid cats. Truly awesome to have folks I trust who can check in on the pets, would definitely recommend.
The best
Amazingly kind and communicative. Took incredible care of our pups, kitties, and home while we were away. Would book again in a heartbeat.
