“Samantha was amazing. Our baby sometimes takes a little while to warm up to strangers but he took to her almost right away. She sent multiple pictures and detailed updates every day, and really put my mind at ease. We came home to a happy boy🥰 I would HANDS DOWN use her again♡♡”

About: I’ve grown up around and taken care of pets my whole life, from itty bitty kittens to old dogs, and recently a bunny! I have two cats that are essentially my children, and I know that whenever I’m away from home I worry about them - I always take care of others’ pets the way I want mine to be treated. I work from home and make my own hours, so my daily routine is incredibly flexible. I’m comfortable staying with your pet as long as you’d like for drop-ins and walks! Taking care of pets includes respecting the space they live in, and by extension the space you live in! I know it’s weird to have a stranger in your home when you’re not there, so I’ll only mess with the stuff I have to in order to take good care of your pet, and whatever I don’t need to touch, I won’t. I’m comfortable administering medication to pets that need it, and I absolutely understand the need to accommodate pickiness. I’ll follow any instructions you leave me word-for-word, and make sure your pet gets to be as comfortable and safe as possible until its people get back home!
“Justine has been absolutely amazing! She spends so much time with my pets and makes every effort to understand their personalities and needs. I am so grateful for her!”
“Molly took care of all my kitties with the upmost attention to detail, and provided me with detailed updates on how the kitties were doing while we were away for two weeks. I never had to worry about the kitties, she took care of them so well and I felt at ease while being away. I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Molly 😄”
About: I have lived around animals all my life. As a child, I owned 4 dogs,4 cats, rabbits, chickens, and ducks. I love all fury baby’s from miniature breeds to large dogs. I currently have a dog of my own named Maisie who is a 1 1/2 year old labradoodle. I love meeting and speeding time with any animal. I’m so excited to hopefully meet and get to love your sweet fur babies. I am currently only working 2-3 times a week and am available for 5 days anytime during the rest of the week. I am usually available most weekends. I will ensure your babies will use the bathroom get to play/ walk for at-least 30 minutes so that they can have fun while you are away!
About: I've taken care of pets for my friends before, with a wide variety of needs. Some were very old and blind, and needed a little extra care. I pride myself in doing my best to support the pets in my care. I'm available before 7 am and after 6 pm on workdays, before 7 am and after 1 pm on Saturdays, and all hours on Sundays. And I'll always make sure to follow the care schedule you want for your fur babies.

You can count on me to follow all your instructions when it comes to all of their routines.

“Morgan was able to help us on short notice and was great! She was very communicative, sent photos of our pups each visit, followed our instructions to a T, and wasn’t deterred by our mouthy Great Dane barking at her for 30 mins straight on her first visit. Will certainly be using her again”

Autumn B.
“Autumn is a dog whisperer. Probably a cat, chicken, snake and hamster whisperer too. She has cared for our 2 dogs and house numerous times while we were traveling. This included staying with our 2-year-old coon hound who had extreme anxiety issues at the time. Autumn managed like a pro. She even taught him to sit on the rug in front of the kitchen sink while she was cooking or working in the kitchen, a practice we reenforced and that he continues to this day. We are grateful to have such a kind, patient person to care for our sweet pups when we're away.”
