Safety, trust & environment

Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I always refresh water bowls, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. If you let me know where your trash can and cleaning supplies are, I’m more than happy to clean up any little “oopsies.” I can also vacuum or sweep up any litter that adventurous kitties might track around - whatever helps keep your home tidy and your pets comfortable. I also keep a close eye on pets at all times and send updates, photos, or videos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away.

Information Esther K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs that your pet might have or things to look out for when looking after your pets. I genuinely love caring for animals, and I’d be honored to look after yours. Just reach out - I can’t wait to meet your little one :)

A typical day

I am all about enrichment for the pets, whether it’s playing with them with toys or a scent walk with pups, I really want your pets to have an engaged and enriching time with me :)

Lover, caretaker of furry babies!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Esther - a lifelong animal lover who’s raised dogs from high school through adulthood and now has a pup of my own. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone new, and I care for every pet with the same patience, gentleness, and consistency I give my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and little quirks - from shy rescues to playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need extra support. I’m attentive to animal body language and emotional needs, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood.

Esther was great with communication and taking care of our puppy Chutney! She was very thoughtful and attentive to our home and baby. Chutney can be a little shy at first until he opens up and Esther was so considerate giving him his space and waiting until he was comfortable to play with her. We will absolutely book with Esther again.

Esther has dropped in on my cat Pablo every time I’ve gone out of town for the past few months and she’s the best! She’s communicative, provides great and detailed updates and really cares about making sure he’s happy!

She did a great job taking care of our little buddy while we were out of town. Very prompt communication with us and came home to a very happy cat. Highly recommended!
