1. Alex M.
“Our cats Trek and Flash seemed happy and healthy when we got home - what more could pet parents want. Alex played with them during each visit (evidenced by photos) which we appreciate so they were not bored, fed them, scooped litter, kept their water fountains full. We would definitely book with Alex again as the need arises.”
2. Natalie T.
“Natalie is AMAZING! She watched my cats while I was away on vacation for quite a bit of time and completely soothed any anxiety I had about them being alone for a month! She made sure they had quality time with her and even had her daughter play with them some days, which made me incredibly happy as my babies often get lonely when I leave. 10/10 would recommend, and I will be having her watch them again as I travel often!”

About: Hi! My name is Danielle. I have a degree in veterinary technology. I was a vet tech for a few years. I have worked in clinics and kennels. Im experienced with dogs of all sizes, cats, and a few other small animals. I basically have an open schedule. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. I work with some farm animals as well, and we can discuss that. I do not offer pet services at my home at this time. I am more than willing to check on your pets at your home for walks and/or play time.

“Kristin was wonderful! I have a sassy calico kitty and she was patient and kind with her! By about the 5th day she started warming up to Kristin so I know she was good with her! I felt very comfortable with Kristin caring for her and didn’t worry about my baby while I was gone! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
7. Carolyn "CJ" F.
“CJ was fabulous! She made friends with Gucci, who is a really shy guy. Fed, watered, played, and loved on him. She sent great pictures, and brought in the mail. Soooo thoughtful! I am scheduling her for our trip to England in November. Thank you, thank you, thank you, CJ! You made our trip, worry free!❤️”

“Alyssa has been a great caretaker for my Callie. I’ve booked her three times and will continue to request her when I have to go out of town.”
9. Kayla H.
“Kayla came to our family via our son Blake, and is now his fiance. I could not be more pleased. She is a kind, generous soul who spills out genuine love and compassion for all living creatures, most especially animals. She has a strong sense of justice for animals that have been abandoned, mistreated and/or misused, loving them back to health and happiness. For animals that are cared for and loved as one of the family, her services are invaluable as she is a trusted ally to every pet she meets. If you and your pet are fortunate enough to receive her services, you will not be disappointed as she is punctual, friendly, trustworthy and loving.”

11. Jessica P.
“Jessica has been with us for several years now and we love having her take care of our Scotty! She's reliable, caring and loves him just as much as we do. Jessica loves all animals, well, maybe not spiders. Within minutes of meeting another person's pet, she is their best friend... She's honest, trustworthy and just a wonderful person and friend. I recommend Jessica highly, you won't be disappointed. Sonny Taylor”

16. Sarah M.

18. Lauren B.
“Lauren was awesome, it is clear that she is a true animal lover and Rowan and Shelby loved her. She was thorough and her attention to detail and communication was amazing. It was hard to have to leave them but she put my mind as ease, I never had a worry. She is definitely a mature, responsible and sweet person. It is obvious that she is dedicated and responsible and I will definitely contact her again if I need them cared for. Thank you Lauren!!”
