I am free to help most days after 3 PM or on the weekends for the full day I’m looking forward to meeting your fur babies. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving, and stress-free environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me!
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
“Lydia was very responsive and detailed in her replies. If she wasn’t sure of something, she would ask for clarification, which is what I prefer, instead of assuming the wrong answer. I would book her again when we go on vacation next time!”
About: Born and raised in Germany with beautiful cats of all shapes and sizes. My very first cat was my beloved Minki that was a proud 17 years and deaf in both ears! If that wasn't enough, she also only had three teeth and was rescued from the roads. She taught both my mother and I how to be responsible and how pets ARE family. After Minkis passing, my beloved Imy has entered our hearts. Imy was a strong headed almost human-like boy. He knew how to potty on the human toilet, went on walks with me and accompanied me to my school. He was very protactive of us and very clingy. We unfortunately lost him in 2014. Also his name choice might be surprising, but I was a little girl that thought that pretty kitty must be a girl! Well, the name stuck with us! In 2014 we adopted two pretty twin kittens Pixel and Gray. They are going strong at 11 years old, and live with my mother in Germany. After leaving my life behind in Germany to be with my husband, I was determined to be pet free, no hair, no bills - yay! Until we drove to an appointment on a super cold day and encountered a barely alive kitten - our now baby boy Basil. Basil is the light of our hearts and became a big brother as we adopted Toast just a little over a month ago! I have experience with both female and male cats, disabled, old and young. Both indoor and outdoor cats are familiar to me as I had lived with both at some point. Currently my cats are indoor with occasional cat-walks outside on the leash or when heading out with a cat stroller. My husband has experience with farm cats as he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. I am a 911 dispatcher and my schedule varies. I work 12 hour shifts and my husband is currently in the process to become a trucker. He will not be over the road, and comes home after his shift. I have several days off due to me working a stretch, but my cats are truly taken care of. We rent a small 2 bedroom house with access to a front and backyard. We live next to neighbors that have a beautiful male ragdoll cat that likes to visit from time to time. I love to clean and am very adament about my cats hygiene as well. Their litter boxes are cleaned up to 4 times a day, they never live in filth, they receive hair care and groom care. Their nails are trimmed regularly, and they receive wet food including dental care. I am also very concious of their safety. Basil tends to be scared of strangers at first, but we own a kitty cam, the cats have plenty of room, with access to all rooms, except basement (as it is not directly accessible through the home). Have window benches, a cat tree, and are allowed to lay wherever they want. The only boundary we have is them being on the kitchen counter.

“Monica was so good to us and our two dogs while we were away for 11 days and she stayed at our house. She took them for walks and gave us updates when we asked. When we came home the dogs were happy and well taken care-of! Our house was in fantastic shape as well. I would recommend her and ask her to watch the dogs again!”

He’s cared for Horses, Cows, Dogs of all sizes, cats and aquatic animals. Given his history with animals is part of what made me feel so comfortable letting him watch over my sweet cats while away.”
Makayla W.
“I’m a super anxious pet parent and Makayla is one of the few people I trust to look after my 3 cats. You can tell she genuinely loves all pets and strives to care for yours as if they are her own. She is excellent at following detailed instructions which is absolutely essential for my furry family because they all have different dietary restrictions and routines that must be followed. Makayla’s company and care was a saving-grace the first time I had to leave my cats alone for a longer trip abroad and I (and my cats!) would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat. She made me feel like she really respects the level of care I expect with my cats and I was able to leave them without worry that something would happen to them or they would be lonely while I was away. I cannot recommend Makayla enough to my fellow pet parents.”
