“Grace was awesome! She was so helpful with toby, always sending me picture updates of her drop in with Toby. I will definitely be reaching out to her again with any help I need with Toby:-)”


“Jessica was fantastic with providing clear communication, including updates, photos, and how our pupper was doing! Very pleasant experience and would recommend/have again in the future.”


“Loved having Katherine watch our three kitties! She gave us great daily updates and plenty of pictures of them while we were out of town. Definitely would recommend, wish I could gate-keep! ;)”


“We are so grateful to have found Thane! My kitty Rat sometimes likes company while he eats, which I don’t believe I’d told Thane, but they figured it out. They’re great at figuring out what Rat needs and keeping us in the loop. They even reached out to let me know the power was out and see if there was anything they could do! I’ll continue to use them for as long as they’re available”

About: I may not have a lot of pet experience but when I love something, I do it 110% I work full time in mental health /substance use and as you can imagine, my day to day is extremely stressful and I talk to rude people with a smile on my face. But around animals, it’s a real smile. They love us so unconditionally and do so much for us, how can you not give your pet the world and them some after that? All I want to do is make sure every animal feels love, safe and happy. I work 4, 10 hour days a week and 3 days off. I can easily squeeze in multiple drop ins, walks, and house sitting on my days off which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. Even a small overnight could be possible. I also work from home often. Sundays are my guaranteed work from home day so I can find drop in or walk times. As well as house sitting on Sundays! Saturdays, I’m off earlier, clock out by 6:30, so I can definitely squeeze in a night drop in or 2. Monday’s and Tuesdays are my “in office all day” days so I wouldn’t be able to do anything those 2 days, but every other day, I can work something out no problem! I try my best to not break their routine. I have a pretty good understanding of animal body language and I can tell when they are stressed or overwhelmed. Me being a stranger to them, can already have them slightly stressed. So the best thing I can do for them is to continue doing what they already know.

“Sophie did an amazing job with Pepper! Pepper is a people lover dog and can come off very intense. Sophie was kinda to my dog and I could tell by the way Pepper acted when I came home. Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper. I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️”


“Brittany was super helpful and took my pup on fun walks!! She communicated well and really described her stay with Dex. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”

“Elijah is so great, he and my cat are besties!!! Thanks so much for taking care of my cat while I was on vacation, will absolutely be booking with him again!”


“CLICK! Yay! Loved the report of your first puppy visit with Anna! I just now read ItsYerChoice thanks to your suggestion, so that was cool to hear you introduced it to Anna today on your first visit. She looks so happy to see you and sad to see you go (but ready for a nap). I couldn’t be happier to have found someone who trains and loves high energy big pups! Thanks Laura!”


“Robbi did absolutely amazing! She’s so sweet & my cats absolutely loved her from the moment she stepped in the door lol. In fact when i came home from my trip they acted like they didn’t know me 😂!! She sent plenty of pictures, she communicated everything with me, and she followed the list of things i provided! I definitely would book her again 10/10 💕!”
