“Courtney is the best! I had an unexpected emergency and she responded immediately and was able to start visits the next day. She is thorough in her updates, sends lots of pictures, and gives my cat all the love and pets he needs. I am so grateful for her help!”


“Natalie was fantastic! She was prompt, an excellent communicator, and bonded with my cat instantly. She is very friendly and eager to meet your pet's needs. Our initial visit to meet one another went great, and I know my cat will be happy to see her at a future drop-in visit :)”

“Kim was amazing! Our doggies love her and she was always on top of sending pictures/videos and updates. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies while being out of town.

Don’t hesitate to book with Kim! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds, including my own, since I could walk. I have a 2 year old lab and 14 year old lab, so I'm very good with both puppies and seniors! I'm currently working remote on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I'll have plenty of time to drop in and play. Once the school year starts, I'm a law student so I'll also have plenty of time outside of class! I can do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy in your home, whether you have a fenced in yard or no yard at all.

“Kate looked after our two dogs while we were out of town recently. She stopped in multiple times (over multiple days) to walk, feed, and spend some time with them - and she sent plenty of pictures during her visits. This was our second time having Kate look after our dogs, and we definitely will again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I was the main caretaker for my family growing up. I can maneuver a 90lb mastiff into the bath, and I can help a dachshund onto the couch. Walking is my favorite part of the day. I’m currently free and flexible to match your schedule! My only obligation is to my cats, and then I can devote attention to your babies. I care for pets like they are my own. I can follow your instructions to a tee and make them feel as safe as if I’d known them their whole lives.

“I’ve had Torrice dog-sit several times and they always do an amazing job. I get lots of pictures and updates, and most importantly my dog is happy and well cared for when I return.”
