“Jessica is very experienced with cats and was able to meet Missy where she was, with plenty of patience and thoughtful solutions! She was prompt and reliable, and we felt secure knowing our “spicy” cat was in good hands!”
“I booked Carley for a second set of home drop in visits with our cat, Raja, knowing that he would be in capable hands. Carley is very reliable and organized. Raja had a medication change and Carley quickly familiarized herself with his new details. She is experienced with his medication administration needs and her Rover check in updates are always prompt.”
“Christy took great care of our kitty and went above and beyond during her visits. I would definitely recommend Christy if you need someone to take care of your fur baby/babies.”

About: Hello! I have many years of pet experience and am an avid animal lover. I love the outdoors so taking pets to parks and giving them a loving, home away from home is my personal mission. I am a prior army veteran with 2 active and rambunctious sons and a lovely daughter. I also teach microbiology and Zumba part time. Myself and my family will all make it possible for your pet to have fun and feel safe with us. I have no breed preferences as each animal has its own personality and will do my best to accommodate any animals in need of assistance. I look forward to serving you and meeting your furry family member. Please contact me with any special needs and I will do my best to accommodate them. Best Regards, Keisha I currently telework Monday, Wed, Thursday and Friday. I drive to work on Tuesdays and I love animals. We have a loving family and would love to welcome you to our home. I have a large field for a play area and can crate my animal or yours upon request. My dog does get along with other animals with no issues.
About: I have worked with dogs and cats for 15 years since my first job at a grooming shop. I dog walked and pet sit for many years while I was in college. I got my license as a veterinary technician 10 years ago and have been dedicating my life to helping dogs since! I have energy to run your pup out, or simply snuggle on the couch. I will give your kitties chin scratches & extra treats 🥰 I offer drop-in services, day/overnight pet sitting, and dog walking. I can also help with potty training, bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. I have a 6 year old son who I’ve taught to be very gentle and kind with cats and dogs. He would love to help me take care of yours, if they are friendly with kids. If not, no biggie, I will leave him at home. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies 💕 My schedule at work is very flexible and changes weekly— but this can be easily adjusted. I have my schedule updated on here frequently. Please let me know what works for you! I only pet sit in your home since I have a chaotic household of my kids, cats, dog, etc. I will clean up any pet messes, clean litterboxes, and give your pet a bath if needed. I will leave your home clean and tidy as I found it :)
