Safety, trust & environment

We are reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any instructions left for us will be followed to the letter to ensure your pet gets exactly what they need. We will make note of any specifics to make sure there’s nothing we’re leaving out that’s important to your pets daily care and routine!

Information Matt & Alyssa D. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your cat has any specific needs or behaviors that we can account for such as being shy or generally unsure about new people. We will not accept bookings with pets who have known aggressive behavior. This is for our own safety and is against Rover’s TOS. We require meet and greets before the sit starts partially for this reason as well and we will refuse the booking if aggressive behavior is seen during a meet and greet. For us, specifics are key with all aspects of pet care as we want to ensure your pet is cared for as you yourself would care for them!

A typical day

A typical visit will depend on your pet! We’re committed to making sure your cat gets what it needs to make sure they are happy and comfortable with their routine while you’re away.

Matt and Alyssa were super communicative and responsive! The cats seemed very happy with their care and company. They were nice enough to deal with a broken garage door when we were away and brought in the mail too. Highly recommend.
