“This was my second time having Samantha take care of cats. She sends lots of pictures, so I never wonder if things are going okay. She also was kind enough to feed my somewhat feral outdoor cat who decided to make a surprise appearance. I will definitely use her again”
“Cindy was very accommodating with a short notice visit. . She gladly stepped in with only a few days notice. She sent pictures and texts which gave us peace of mind that our dog, Ryder was receiving great care. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her for pet care.”
“Josh was great- he made himself available on short notice and showed up on time. There was a glitch with the door and he contacted me right away and worked with me until he got in. The dogs were happy when we got home. Thanks Josh!”

“Rebecca did a fabulous job with our Leo. She even added on taking car of the stray kitty and our neighbor’s free range chickens. Very responsive and very caring. We highly recommend. We will be repeat customers!”
About: Not only have I grown up with cats and dogs, I’ve also been responsible for the care of my friends’ and neighbors’ pets on multiple occasions. From playing with little kittens to helping a senior pet with medications, I’m ready for anything and can’t wait to love on your pet! I am working between 35-40 hours a week, but my schedule is ever changing. I am typically available mornings and evenings and on weekends. I can make one home visit in the afternoon if necessary. I try to be as flexible as possible! If you have cats, I’ll be sure to give them the attention they ask for! Whether that be cuddling, playing, or sleeping. I will never invade the space of a cat if they are apprehensive or shy. If you have dogs, I’m ready to play a rough game of tug of war, walk around, or snuggle up on the couch (if permitted). And if you have both, that’s great—I’m ready to support them!
