Madeline was fantastic! She was responsible, communicative, quick to understand what my two cats needed, and a pleasure to work with. The daily photos and recap were an added bonus. Highly recommend her!

Working with Shanley was ideal in every way. She's a quick and clear communicator, she was thorough in our initial meet and greet and in her visits with my cats, and she did a wonderful job caring for them and attending to other details in the house. I will definitely book with Shanley again next time I go out of town!

Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!

Anais was awesome with our pups! My gals are old but still peppy, strong, and sometimes over exuberant. She took great care with both but especially Cookie who recently had surgery. I look forward to booking another visit with her again!

I've had nothing but positive experiences with Kye watching my sweet, elderly pup Lulu. Kye has a gentle, warm demeanor with animals and people alike, and Lulu (who is normally quite shy and skittish) quickly grew to love spending time with him. He is communicative and responsive, has no problem handling Lulu's intense medication schedule (including administering topical eye medications three times a day), sends me cute pictures of my pup throughout, and always leaves my house even cleaner than when I left it. I highly recommend Kye to watch your pets, they will be in great hands.

Emma is very calm and connects well with all my three cats. I have one high-energy kitten (needing lots of playtime), one shy/nervous cat (needing patience and calm care), and one more senior long-haired cat (sometimes needing extra help with grooming) She is trustworthy and very reliable. My cats like her a lot, and she spends quality time with them. She goes above and beyond. When my cat was sick, she helped provide necessary oral medicine. You would be lucky to have her as your cat sitter.

Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️

Elyse took care of my two kittens for just under two weeks and did an amazing job. She was super reliable and communicative. The kittens seemed healthy, happy and relaxed when I got home, so it was obvious they were in good hands. Would definitely request for her help again in the future.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.

Melvonne was an exceptional cat sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our cat, Margaret, while we were away. From the start, it was clear that she is a genuine animal lover. She was incredibly patient with Margaret, who can be shy and cautious around new people, and made sure she felt completely at ease. By the end of her stay, Margaret was so comfortable with her that it felt like they were old friends! Melvonne went above and beyond by keeping us regularly updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. It was comforting to know that Margaret was not only being fed and looked after but also receiving so much love and attention. On top of that, Melvonne treated our home with the utmost respect, leaving it exactly as we had left it. I would recommend Melvonne to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet caregiver. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future!

Vania has been an incredible pet sitter, dog walker, and overall animal support person for me over the years. She is a great communicator both with people and animals and is very reliable. I received consistent updates from her anytime I was away on a trip or even just while I was at work that gave me the peace of mind that my dog was well cared for. She is also great with cats and will take the time to really play and bond with your furry friend. I would strongly recommend Vania to anyone looking for support with their pets.
