Pet-Lovers Pampering Furry Friends

Hello there! We're Michael and Katie, a pet-loving couple with a deep passion for providing the best care for your beloved animals. As former pet owners ourselves, we understand the importance of finding reliable and caring sitters when you travel, and we're excited to offer you that same peace of mind. 🐶🐱 Our Story: We've had the joy of sharing our lives with a lovable Chihuahua and a long-haired American Tabby cat, both of whom were rescue pets and now have been permanently re-homed. Their well-being was always our top priority, and we are committed to treating your pets with the same love and care. 🏡 Our Experience: We're not just pet owners; we're also proud members of TrustedHousesitters. We've completed several house sits (all with 5 star reviews) and several more confirmed. Our work-from-home lifestyle ensures that your pets will have near-constant companionship, with the exception of short errands to the gym and stores. We understand the trust you place in us to care for your furry family members, and we take that responsibility seriously. You can count on us to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment for your pets while you're away. Let us ensure your pets are in the best hands possible.

Safety, trust & environment

We only provide house sits at the client's home. We believe this gives the pets the best in routine and security. We will follow the same routine you have established -- whether early morning walks before you leave for work or later in the morning -- whatever schedule you have established, we will maintain. We are able to work our schedules around the clients and can provide the same routine while you are away.

Michael and Katie were a life saver. My westie Zoey was ill and they kept me updated and provided excellent care. As well as taking good care of Zeus our Great Pyrenees. We are so grateful to them. Lynn & Ken

Michael and Katie are truly the best! They stayed at our home with our 2 goldens for 10 days while we traveled for Thanksgiving. They communicated well, sent all the pictures of happy pups and kept the dogs on their normal routine, including meal time and all their walkies. Such a relief not worry while traveling outside the country and they definitely provided all the comfort for a protective dog momma! We returned home to a clean home and happy puppies. Highly recommend!
