“Brilliant, Alicia made sure to update me on every visit and sent me pictures of my cat every time. When she noticed something odd, she immediately notified me about the issue; she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to properly care for their pets while they’re away.”
“Kayla does a great job with my two kitties. They both love her I trust them in her care. She is a great communicator and is always willing to help with mail, paper etc too. Don't hesitate to call her!”
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as reptiles like iguanas bearded dragons, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet growing up, but I decided to go into nursing and this is my one way to be able to help others and take care of animals the best I can. I have a very flexible job Monday through Friday and I do not work on weekends so I’m available most nights and weekends. I do require some notice but I am very flexible with even like a day or two notice ahead of time. Depending on if I come to you or you utilize my home, I have lots of toys I have crates for the animals. I have a backyard for the animals to run free and I have no problem doing the messy work and cleaning up poop when they need to go They will have lots of love and if you are OK with it, I also have older children that love animals just as much as I do so that means extra love to your fur babies
About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

About: I’ve had dogs for 22 years, experience in knowing pet behavior, safety, and pet care. Know your pets are in safe, predictable hands with me!

The care and safety of your pets is top priority- and I take a family member’s safety and care very seriously. Like my own pets.
“Linda was great to work with, she was easy to get in touch with and she even sent us some pictures of our cats while we were away! I also appreciated the fact that we were able to meet her before our trip to go over a few things together. She also let us know we were low on litter before we arrived back home.

Veronica E.
“I highly recommend Veronica as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. Whether it's daily walks or just giving extra snuggles, she treats every pet like her own. You can travel worry free knowing your furry family member is in caring capable hands.”
Monica C.
“Monica and I bonded over a cat with special needs--a daily responsibility, which Monica embraced with gusto. Meantime, she was not just accommodating but encouraging her other cats' individual personalities. In other words, she gets two very important things. First, the key to good critter health and happiness lies in the everyday details, and she is dedicated to fulfilling them every single time. Second, enrichment is everything--and also most of the fun for all involved.”
