Heather has done a great job letting Whiskey in and out. I can tell by the photos that she sends that he's happy and enjoys his breaks. She's always on time and reliable.

Bella- was wonderful! I never worried about my dogs the entire time I was on the other side of the country. She sent me regular updates and pictures and reassured us that Sadie were being well cared for. I would definitely hire her again!

Diana was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat! Our dog is older, very anxious with new people, and takes several medications. Diana put her at ease, and handled her so well that we had no worries while we were away. Our cat is a super chill boy, who loved his time with Diana. Diana sent many great pictures and updates so that we could rest easy during our trip. It is so rare that we find someone to care for our pup who she can actually relax around, and we are so happy to have found Diana. We will definitely be using her services again!

My cats love Courtney! Especially my super shy boy comes out of shell when he sees her. I’m super happy with her taking care of my two little ones, she spends quality time with them and doesn’t cut her visits short. I also really appreciate the detailed write up and the cute photos. Thank you, Courtney!

Jazmin has been highly communicative, very proactive, and sent me a lot of photos of the fur babies, which put me at great ease. She’s also been very punctual and checked in with me during the visits. I so appreciate that kind of thoughtful support and strong communication! Will be reaching out to her for future pet care. Thank you, Jazmin!

About: I’ve grown up with pets ranging from beta fish, dogs, guinea pigs and gerbils! I’ve watched my friend’s pets over the years as well. My cat who unfortunately passed had kidney issues so I have experience in dealing with that. I’m also a volunteer with the SPCA! I’m currently working a full time job, but work locally and have a hybrid schedule so I can be fairly flexible in the evenings and weekends! I could also be available around lunchtime during the week. My cat who unfortunately has now passed pretty much owned the second bedroom and bathroom in my home. I always made sure she is comfy, happy and had lots of boxes and her favorite string (she refused to use an actual cat bed but LOVES boxes!) I will make sure your pet is always well cared for, loved (if they desire) and catered to whatever they need (even if it’s a box)!

Pam is very conscientious, loving and professional. She took care of my four cats and dog and made sure they were happy and healthy. She even had to take one of my cats to the emergency vet late at night. I really appreciate Pam taking such good care of my beloved pets. It made it a lot easier for me to relax while I was on vacation.

During our second round of visits, Bird showed some signs of stress. Chrissie worked diligently with me to accommodate Bird and do whatever she could to make her comfortable. I really appreciated that! She also did some extra things for us like bring up the trash cans and bring in packages. Lovely to work with her!!

Calli was great taking take of my two cats, especially as they were adjusting to a new home (and having some behavioral challenges). She was lovey to communicate with and gave my guys lots of love while I was away. I came home to a clean house & happy cats! Will definitely book again!

Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.
