Caitlyn was amazing with my two cats! She was prompt, caring, and had great communication. She even won over the trust of my not so friendly feline ?. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!

Kyleen was wonderful, so communicative and caring! It can be challenging to find good care, but our dog was in great hands. We look forward to booking her again in the future!

Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great. Kyla will be our go to anytime we are away.

About: I have had animals all my life, from dogs to chickens and goats. We have always had at least 2 dogs in the house so I understand the needs and the care treatment they need. I have also had a cat and understand what they need as well. I am not currently working alot of hours so your pets needs will be my number two priority the first priority being your satisfaction of my work. I make sure the animals on my house are fed, watered and let put to use the bathroom when needed as well as make them happy and comfortable and I will do the same for yours!

Taryn did an amazing job taking care of our Strudel while we were away on vacation. She came on the scheduled days, spent time with Strudel each visit and sent photos and a detailed update. We WILL be using her again next time we are away and need Strudel looked after. Taryn is a caring person that really loves caring for animals. Thank you Taryn.
