“Allison did a fantastic job with our senior kitty, Waffles. He's is friendly, but skittish. As a diabetic, he requires regular insulin shots. Allison was able to gently approach him to make certain he got his meds successfully. Waffles is very prone to hiding when startled or new people come into our home. Allison gave us great updates and socialized very well with him. Next time we need a pet sitter, she will be top of the list.”
“Emily is the greatest! She is very attentive to our kitty’s needs and goes above and beyond to let us know how he is doing. She sends lots of pics and lets us know what he’s been up to. You can tell he thoroughly enjoys when she comes by to visit and she is extremely helpful with any odd requests we have. Thanks Emily!”
“Hannah was great with my cat Butters. She gave him a lot of attention, and made sure he was well looked after while I was away on my trip. I came home to my cat looking well loved, and everything in order. I would definitely book her again when I go on a trip next.”
“Jazmin watched our two cats for a week. Each day I received multiple photos of them as well detailed accounts of how much they are and their overall activity level. She communicates amazingly and is always quick to respond. Will definitely be booking in the future. And my cats loved her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since my parents got me my first dog at the age of 5. Taking her for walks, playing with and feeding her every day were a highlight of my childhood.

My job is in six hour shifts, four days/week, so I’ll be able to check on your fur babies frequently. I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pets while you travel, check in on them during the day and take them on fun walk adventures. I am always conscientious about safety and security. I’ll make sure your pets stay safe even if they are escape artists! I’ll follow your directions for care, only feed them what they’re supposed to eat, and give them all the cuddles and pets they could want!

Jenna W.
“Jenna and I have been best friends since 5th grade (we've known each other since 1st grade), she has always been an animal lover, that's why we got along so well! Jenna can just read dogs like they're talking to her, even from a young age she was helping her father train their hunting dogs. She has a well trained 100 lb mutt that I adore and he adores my dogs too, which Jenna helped train. I know she also does professional training now, no one is surprised that's what she wants to do with her life. I can count on her to treat all my animals with love and positive care”
