“Kayla provided excellent communication regarding her drop-in visits with our cat. Our furry friend was well-cared for and, I’m sure, was much happier at home than in a kennel.”
“Kristy and Barry did an amazing job watching our cat, Gregory! They made sure to spend time playing with him every time they visited. We will definitely be rebooking with Kristy and Barry and couldn’t recommend them more!!”
“Kristina did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats and has to be the Cat Whisperer because our shy cats came out on her first visit which NEVER happens. She kept us updated the whole time, and worked with us when my husband forgot to leave a house key for her. ??♀️ Thank you so much Kristina!!”
“Carolyn was easy to work with, thorough, thoughtful, and took wonderful care of our fur crew while we were away. She sent great updates every visit, helping us relax knowing our animals were well cared for and loved on while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin did a great job! She gave lots of updates and sent plenty of pictures so I never had to worry about my pets while I was gone! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Brandon looked and took care of our dogs as if it was his own. He is also very communicative and provided us daily updates. Also went the extra mile and cleaned after our pups even though he didn’t have to…highly recommend! And def would rebook again!”
“Emily has been great! She has cared for our cats a few vacation weeks over the last year. Very responsible and you can tell the cats like her. It’s been nice not having to worry while out for extended periods.”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs throughout my whole life. Currently, I have 2 Golden Retrievers (an 8-month-old and a 3-year-old) as well as a white lab (7). I have dog sat on numerous occasions for friends as well as family members. I’m a dental assistant in Kenwood my hours are Monday and Wednesday-9:30am-7:30pm & Tuesday- 7:30am-5:00pm & Thursday-7:30am-1:00pm. I am free anytime after that and every weekend. I follow any and all instructions made by the dog owner/parent. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask. I'm more than happy to accommodate to anything to ensure their safety!
“Laci was great dropping in on our dogs during our week long vacation. From start to finish she was easy to communicate with and our dogs were happy and well cared for when we returned and we look forward to booking with Laci again!”
About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 5 and have been pet sitting cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13. I have raised 4 dogs since they were puppies and 1 cat since he was a kitten. I am available for daily drop-in’s throughout the week and on weekends. Morning/Night Check-ins would be easiest for me but I would be happy to visit more frequently if need be! Also, I can sit and play with your pet for a few hours if you’d prefer that! I have 2 pets of my own so I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! I would come to your house as frequent as you’d like throughout the day.
“I have two cats and Elise is awesome with them! She lets the more scared one have her alone time, but still plays with the slightly more adventurous one. I have had Elise come over during two different vacations and I know my fur babies are in good hands while I’m away! Thank you so much Elise!”
About: I've owned dogs and cats my whole life. I've cared for senior dogs, puppies and dogs with medical needs. Both of my pugs had dry eye issues so I had to administer several types of medication. I'm recently retired from the criminal justice field. I love animals and I know the worse crime I'll see from my furry friends is possibly them stealing an extra treat. I will care for your pet just like it was mine. I'll make sure to take detailed notes so I know exactly what the owner wants me to do.
About: I've had various animals since I was a kid, and believe animals bring so much joy to life! I strongly value providing the best possible care, service, communication and attention you and your pet need. I'm currently available at any time, so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs. I can work around your busy schedule to make the process convenient for you! I have one very sweet, 13 year old American Eskimo, Jax. We live in the perfect neighborhood to go on frequent walks to a nearby nature park. I absolutely love spending time outside and being active. I like to keep my home clean with minimal clutter, which provides a safe open space for furry friends. I have a large SUV that provides a convenient, safe source of transport for any pet. I also have a 14 year old daughter and an 18 year old son who both adore animals.
“Amanda was wonderful and took excellent care of our three beautiful Siamese. She sent photos every day and stayed in communication with us so we did not worry about anything. Will definitely have her care for our fur babies in the future.”
