“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our cat that usually hides from strangers. But Kelsey got her to come out for the visits and socialize. Everything went very well.”
“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”
“Katherine was amazing to my 3 cats! They loved her and she send me multiple photos with updates for each of them every time she came by. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Nana O. Did a great job checking in on our sweet Sadie while we were out of town! It made our travels super peaceful knowing we could depend on her to check in while we were gone! Highly recommend her and will book with her on future occasions!”

“Ingrid spent a lot of time interacting with my four dogs at every visit. She made sure they had plenty of outside playtime. One was a newly rescued stray that although lovable was quite a handful. She was completely unfazed. The dogs finished every visit with her happy and relaxed. She took care of the cats also and even my shy kitty warmed up to her. I will definitely use Ingrid again for our next trip.”

About: I am currently an ER veterinary technician and have been in veterinary medicine for the past 6 years. Taking care of animals is top priority in my every day life at work and outside of work as I do have a fur baby of my own. I am very experienced in pet care ranging from puppy/kitten care to senior care. I am also capable of administering any oral medications or injections to pets that have medical needs as well. I have always had a passion and love for animals ever since I was a young girl. I strive to give all pets the best care that I can possibly provide for them. I work full time as an overnight ER veterinary technician. I am available for drop in visits Sunday-Tuesday and I have more time throughout the day on Wednesday-Saturday. I prefer to care for pets within their own environment. Pets often become very stressed being outside of their own routine and space as it is not within their comfort level.
