Pet care experience

Your pet deserves a vacation too 🐾

Between me and my girlfriend, Kaitlin, we’ve been watching all kinds of pets for over 20 years. We no longer have pets of our own so we’d love the chance to watch yours while you’re gone! I work from home so I’m able to give them the 24/7 care, love, and attention that they deserve.

Callie loved staying with Rares. She was well cared for and enjoyed the all day lap sitting they provided for her. They were flexible and communicative about her needs as we moved to a different state. 10/10!

Rares (Ryan) was a wonderful caregiver for my dog Pinto. He followed all special instructions, including a schedule for twice daily medicine. I highly recommend!
