“Anna was amazing! I got consistent updates from her and she was super flexible when there were problems with my apartment, taking my dog to her house so that she would be provided for! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Helena took amazing care of my senior kitty (Marcy) while I was away for two weeks. It was the longest I’d ever left her so I was nervous, especially considering her age and medication requirements. Helena sent pictures and video updates daily—it was clear Marcy was comfortable around her and enjoyed the company. Helena was responsive and kind throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!”
“Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!”
“Taylor is fantastic!! She takes amazing care of our two dogs, and they absolutely adore her. We love getting updates and always come home to happy pups!”
“Allison was amazing! She stopped by to check in on my cat, Nuts, while I was out of town and did a great job. She was very communicative, sending me plenty of updates and photos so I knew Nuts was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m away.”
“Claire was great for our drop-in visit! She was reliable, checked in right on time, and kept us updated with clear communication. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Felicia was awesome !! she took care of our sweet pup when we visit TN to attend a UT game. i was so confident in our pups care and got great updates and photos during her visits. i will 10000% hire Felicia again when we return to TN.”
“Brooke was great. Came for an initial meet with me and my pet before booking, even on short notice. She took great care of my cat, cleaned his litter each visit and made sure to play with him for a while each visit. Will definitely book Brooke again next time I'm out of town.”
“Tyler was absolutely amazing checking in on our two kittens. It was during New years eve so we really appreciated her doing it considering how last minute it was. She sent updates and pictures throughout the trip and took care of our babies so I couldn't thank her enough!!”
“Spur of the moment 1st time booking with Melissa for 2 senior dogs with special needs. I was impressed at the meet & greet when she immediately loved on the dogs, and was thorough with wanting to know their needs. She was very communicative and wanted to ensure all went well after the drop in. Will definitely be using Melissa again!”
“Izzy is amazing and I have no worries leaving my fur babies in her care. She is on-time and is great with communicating if she is going to be a few minutes late. On my last trip she even noticed I had messed up on my days that I booked her and she was able to accommodate the mistake. I’m so greatful to have found her to care for my babies when I’m away :)”
About: I have had dogs since childhood and have taken care of neighborhood pets since middle school. I can perform check-ins, take them on walks, administer medications, and monitor health issues. I am comfortable with pets of all ages and especially love seniors. I am a full time student and a part time vet assistant, but I always make time for your pets. I am available for check-ins throughout the week and overnights on the weekends I always triple check the house before leaving, monitor food and water intake, and ensure overall health. I love keeping pet parents updated, especially photos of their pets having fun.
“Cayli was quick and easy to communicate with and flexible with our dogs schedules. During her visit she was very attentive and noticed an empty chewed pill bottle on the floor. Long story short, I don’t recommend my dog who’s getting his stomach pumped but I highly recommend Cayli. Her quick thinking means I still have a dog.”
“Raven has been absolutely fabulous! She looked after our kitty Sasha while we were gone and kept us updated. She’s a great communicator and lovely woman! Highly recommend and would 100% hire again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Summer did an excellent job caring for my cat, Bryce. She was punctual, followed all instructions perfectly, and sent thoughtful updates with photos after each visit. I could tell Bryce felt comfortable and well cared for, and my place was left neat and tidy. Her communication was quick and friendly throughout. I’d happily book Summer again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter”
