“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

“It's such a great peace of mind to know Jenna is with my girl while I'm away. I know she'll be loved and cared for well. She takes great photos that really tell the story of how much my Tortie Pie likes her too.”


“Stacey got the job done and was attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond. We didn't realize her vet would be closed the day before Thanksgiving and we were unable to get a refill on her prescription that she takes twice a day. Stacey called the vet the day after Thanksgiving and picked it up for us. She really came through in a pinch and we felt great that she was the one caring for our gal. We highly recommend her”

“Rae was amazing! I forgot to put on my pet’s profile that he can’t be left with bones (he likes to eat any toys I get him), and she offered to drive back to my home and put it back into our toy crate. She was extremely communicative and kind, and provided me with pictures of my dogs every time she stopped in, which was so appreciate while on my trip. I would recommend Rae for any and all services, and if she’s available in the future I plan on asking her to take care of my fur babies every time I’m out of town”

“Meghan was the absolute best. She communicated well and we felt our cats were in the best hands. Our own cat needs medicine twice daily and she was able to give that to him with no issues. We loved all the visit pictures and updates!!”

“Jenn was responsive, helpful, caring, and attentive when looking after Shay. She’ll definitely be my go-to from here on out whenever I need someone to trust with Shay.”

“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”

“Mandy was AMAZING!!! She was very flexible to come help us on short notice. She took our dog on great walks, and stayed over to play fetch with her. She also takes amazing photos! We will definitely be using Mandy again in the future”

I am available for walks, house sitting, and drop ins. I am very flexible in availability and am more than willing to work around a client's schedule and adjust to their needs.
“Jada did amazing with our dogs! Not only did she take great care of them but she also played with them, gave us updates on how they each were doing and their general health, and even noticed some non-pet related issues at the home and offered to help fix while we were out of town. Very responsive and professional, highly recommend!”

“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my puppy Ernie! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with the cutest photos and messages. I could tell she truly cared about him—highly recommend!”

“Mandy was so helpful and took great care of our pup over the holiday weekend. She was an excellent communicator and knew how to handle our nervous girl well. We will be booking again with Mandy”

“I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!”
