T is the most responsive, communicative, responsible and kind pet sitter I’ve had! She takes so many photos to ensure every aspect of your animals care is being monitored. Always on time for check ins and made sure both pets and home were looked after. Highly recommend!

I have booked cat drop-in during our Christmas trip. T is a very responsible sitter, she stopped by for greet and meet before she confirms the service. She sent pictures and videos every visit to make our family happy that our cat is in good hands and being taken care of! My cat bite the treat wrapper incidentally, she shared with me immediately and nicely checked on him the next morning with her own time. I really appreciate T’s care and love to my cat, definitely recommend her for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

Inside my home, your pets are treated like they are family. Bonding is crucial so playtime both indoor and outdoors is a guarantee. My dogs are social and enjoy playing with guests. Pets can expect to be photographed and videoed and their owners flooded with photo and video updates everyday. I do utilize crates during meals, and when away from the home, as well as overnight for safety precautions as well as keeping guests. I have video surveillance on all pets boarding within the home so I can keep a close eye on them to assure the best care.

Pets

A typical day

A stay with me is truly a petcation. Your pets will indulge in play sessions with myself, along with my pups. Sessions of playing ball, frisbee, taking walks in the woods and frolicking in the creek are all guaranteed to be on the daily schedule. If your pet isn’t one for play, that’s ok because extra cuddles and pets can be supplemented!
