3. Luna S.
“Luna is such a sweetheart! She arrived on time for the meet and greet and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her hands. She was so kind and sent pictures of my pet while dropping in to care for her. Our pets are family and I had no worries while out of town for a couple of days. I highly recommend her services and will do so in the future.”

7. Lacey H.
About: I am usually the go-to person friends and family call to walk with and watch over their fur babies. I have a great amount of experience taking care of animals of all ages and sizes (including my own) for friends, family, and neighbors. I love to try and teach new tricks when possible to keep their minds active! Although I am in school while I work, there are set days where I don’t have class. With that there are several days when I am free to watch, check in on, or walk fur babies. When watching my own pets, I normally have them on a leash while outside since I don’t have a fenced in yard. I like to make sure my pets and other peoples pets aren’t outside in the heat for too long and have plenty of water breaks especially when playing. When walking my own or other people pets I don’t like to have them close to roads, I try to walk them in parks and on trails.
8. Ashlyn B.
“I would highly recommend Ashlyn to anyone needing a pet sitter! Our cat, Mocha, is very shy and doesn't always warm up to new people quickly, but Ashlyn had her coaxed out on the first drop in and spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her tons of love. We were able to relax on vacation knowing Mocha was so well taken care of and we will definitely reach out to Ashlyn again for our next trip away!”
9. Melissa A.
“Melissa has been wonderful! My pups are happy and well cared for! She has been flexible with my crazy schedule and oh so sweet. I feel that having her take care of my pups while I’m at work gives me peace of mind to focus on my job without having to worry if my fur babies are okay. Will hire her again and again!”
10. Ida M.
About: I am a full-time therapist. I decided to do this in my spare time, on weekends preferably. I’ve owned cats my whole life, and I volunteer at the animal shelter to walk dogs whenever I can. Pets are a very important part of my life, and I understand they are for you too. Right now I am available on weekends to do drop-ins when you are out of town. I can feed them, walk them, change the litter box, play with them, and so forth. As someone who works full-time, pets offer a lot of stress relief, so this is my way of ending the week on a positive note and making friends with your fur babies! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you so much ❤️☺️ I work a full-time job, but I am super free on the weekends! I usually work from 8-430. Being able to interact with pets is such a joy! It is a stress reliever for sure! At my clients home, I make sure that I provide extra special care. For cats, this includes cuddles, treats, as well as feeding them a nutritious diet. For dogs I make sure I give them attention and lots of exercise!
11. Samantha S.
“Samantha has checked on my cat many times and I trust her to take care of my pet as if it were her own. She gives updates with pictures and cideos and follows our specific feeding instructions which we greatly appreciate. She also takes time to play and pet her which makes us feel better while away.”
12. Alexzandria H.
“Alex is a life saver. I use her almost weekly for dog check ins and she is amazing. My dogs absolutely love her and look forward to seeing her come. She is always there when I need her even with late notice. I’m blessed to have found her thanks so much Alex!”
13. Ness C.
“Ness is a great drop-in cat care person! One of my cats adored her—she was his food source after all! The other cat, who is quite neurotic and hides when anyone comes in the house, usually goes on an hunger strike when I’m gone but actually ate his food and even meowed for her one time. Ness’ quiet energy made everyone happy.”
14. Michael R.
“Michael is the first person I call, when I need someone to care for my dog. My dog is always so excited to see him, and he takes excellent care of him.”
15. Veronique M.
“Veronique did a great job, visiting with & feeding Zoey. And most importantly giving Zoey her ear medication.”
16. Ethan S.
“Ethan is always very caring with our little fur baby. She always looks forward to seeing him. He is dependable, punctual and trustworthy. Very highly recommended.”
