Traci provided such outstanding care for our cats. Her updates were detailed and specific, and she kept an eye out for their health and behavior. Traci's photos of our cats were great because they made it feel like we were there and she really captured some great shots. It's obvious that Traci genuinely cares about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they have what they need.

About: I treat every pet like my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with puppies (basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and positive reinforcement) and senior pets, including gentle care and administering medication when needed. Whether it’s playtime, training, or quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s needs so they feel happy and loved while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, and I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and extended care, including weekends and holidays. I’m easy to work with and happy to adjust scheduling whenever possible. I stay at home so your baby will be rarely left alone. Your pet will be safe and well cared for in my home. I have a fully fenced yard with supervised outdoor time, and two friendly dogs for companionship if your pet is comfortable. At night, your pet can rest in a private room or crate based on your preference, and they’re welcome on furniture if allowed.

About: Please read my profile details IN FULL before booking for relevant information such as my work schedule. I typically work Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm (minus federal holidays). Sometimes I work brief shifts on weekends, usually once per month. Be sure to also read the "information Lillian would like to know about your pet" section in full to understand what types of pets I can or cannot work with. Thank you! **Boarding is currently not offered - I ONLY board cats - I no longer board dogs or any other animals, and any boarding requests for non-felines will be rejected. In-home sitting is available for dogs, cats, and all other species. Thank you for understanding!** Hello! My name is Lillian. I have 7+ years of continuous experience in industries such as ER/ICU veterinary medicine, domestic & exotic animal care, daycare, and boarding. I am also a professional cat & dog groomer. My skills include creating personalized care plans for boarding & in-home pet sitting clients, administering medication, providing grooming options, and so much more than you will find in a traditional boarding setting. I own and exhibit cats in TICA & CFA conformation shows - I own breed, regional, and international winners. I previously exhibited dogs in AKC & UKC. I am an expert in feline husbandry. My personal cats are exceptionally well cared for and provided with the best nutrition, enrichment, and loving interaction that I can offer. You can relax knowing that when your cats are served by me, they will be treated as one of my own and offered all of the same luxuries that my fancy show cats receive. I only board one client/household at a time to ensure that your cats will feel comfortable in my home. My personal cats will never have contact with my boarding clients. I do in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and all other species of pets. My laboratory animal husbandry experience allows me to adapt to uncommon & exotic species. No matter if your pet is furry, feathery, scaly, or slimy, I can assist with their care. Please contact me today in order to reserve your pet's in-home pet sitting, or your cat's boarding space within my home. I am happy to go over the details with you on what amenities your pet will receive, the services that I am able to provide, and how my skills & expertise set me apart from the competition. I am currently working full-time in medical research. I work Monday through Friday from 7a-3p. Please feel free to contact me about your availability and the times/dates that you would like. I DO NOT OFFER full-time in-home sitting (where I am in the home with the pet(s) for the entirety of the stay, only leaving for short necessities) as I am working 40 hours per week. FOR IN-HOME SITTING: I will provide all of the care necessary for your pet, as dictated by your requirements (I prefer to have these on paper in writing). Dogs will receive frequent yard time and walks as requested. Cats will have their litter scooped twice per day or as requested by the client. All other species of pet - requirements for care in writing are required. Grooming services can be provided with a fee. I am also able to take care of chores around the home such as ensuring that hired workers have access to the property, taking out garbage/recycling on trash day, caring for plants, etc. Unless otherwise stated, I will be staying in your home overnight so that your pet has someone monitoring them. For my own privacy, I do not do in-home sitting in homes that have video recording devices in bed or bath rooms (unless removed prior to stay). Cameras are fine in common areas. FOR BOARDING: I offer safe, secure, and comfortable boarding options for felines. I only board one client/household at a time in order to ensure minimal stress and maximum comfort for your cat(s). Boarding services will be customized entirely to meet the needs of your cat(s). In my home, I have a large, secure three-tier cat cage that I keep away from my own personal cats. This cage is outfitted with a litter box, food & water, cat beds, and your choice of toy options - it is larger and far more customizable than any traditional boarding option. Boarding clients will be in the cage when I am gone during the day, and they have the option of free-roaming in my front room when I am at home. Your cat(s) will always be apart from and never have contact with my own personal cats.

About: Growing up I would always have a pet dog to keep me company, one of my favorites was a West Highland Terrier . Now that I’m older I help my father take care of his boxer and in the past few years I started babysitting cats as well. Since I don’t have my own pet at the moment I really enjoy my time with the furry friends that come across my path. - My response rate is low due to me taking time away from the app but I am active again and will respond in a timely manner! I only work on the weekends so I have a lot of down time on my hands that I use for studying and running errands! I understand every animal has its own personality, almost just like humans, and they should be treated as such. I do have a 5 year old and they are used to being around pets as well including kittens, dogs, rabbits, turtles, etc. It’s safe to say we love animals and the companionship they provide here:)

About: I volunteer in animal rescue shelters, so I’ve been around all kinds of pets. I also nursed a parvo puppy until the virus went away. I’m a pre-vet college student from Monday through Thursday, but I’m free during weekends to care of your fur babies. I usually walk large dogs from shelters, so I have experience with dog walking. I know all dogs are different, so I’ll make sure your pet isn’t over exercising. I also know bloating can happen, so I am cautious of how much water and food they’re consuming.

We had an extended trip, and were extremely pleased with Kendall’s care. We got many pictures of our cats each day, and a report on them as well. We had our power go out, and Kendall was very responsive when I informed her, and she went and checked out Cara’s fountains to make sure they turned back on when the power did. This was our second time using Kendall, and we have been very happy both times.

She took amazing care of my babies and gave Venus extra love after she locked herself in the bathroom. She even took out the garbage and refilled my dry food feeder. Please book with her.

We hired Brittainny to do several drop in visits while we were out of town! We just wanted someone to come and hangout with our animals because we normally work from home so they aren’t used to being alone. She sent such cute photos to us and helped put our minds at ease.
