Pet care experience

I've housesat, dropped in on & walked hundreds of dogs, cats, and even fish or bunnies over the last decade, handling everything from meals, meds & play to grooming and vet visits. I've also fostered over a dozen pets (2 of which lovingly foster failed into our family) and currently volunteer at a pet shelter so I'm very familiar with socializing, medicating, and caring for special needs animals too I'm proud to report a 100% satisfaction & re-book rate with petsitting clients, friends, and families and would love to get to know you and your furry family members better to ensure they're well taken care of!

I am so grateful with Tina, she took care of Sanji while we were out on a vacation trip, she is constantly communicating, and sending you the visit pics that’s is such a relief to see your fury baby is well cared. Definitely will ask Tina to come again! Thanks!

Lawrentina is amazing. She stayed at our place for the last 5 nights with our pup and we can't say enough good things. She is a fantastic communicator and sends lots of adorable updates and pictures. Our pup LOVES her... which says a lot because our pup is selective in who she gives love. Ha Lawrentina was respectful of our routines, of our home and neighborhood. She's the best. :)

Lawrentina was a delight. Both our kitties were happy and healthy when we got home. Absolutely would recommend and book again.

You could not ask for a kinder or more trusting person to watch your animals (and home). We had Lawrentina in our home for the past week and one of our dogs had some major medical concerns start- Lawrentinas communication was key and she was accommodating and went above and beyond to arrange her schedule to get our dog to the vet and on meds. It was a very busy week here for her but our home was immaculate upon return (not required but appreciated!) and the pets were all happy and so well cared for. Truly an awesome person!
