“Alissa has been great! I plan to continue hiring her for times when I'm away. She's patient with my pet, timely, really everything you could hope for.”
“Very friendly, very professional. Was available on super short notice and worked with my friend who was watching my cat for a few days to hand off the keys.”
“I haven’t had to leave my cats for more than a weekend in years so I was a bit nervous! But Declan was fabulous - I loved the daily updates and found that I was looking forward to the pictures every day that I was gone! And on a pet level, Declan managed to befriend my most skeptical cat, and even expand the group of people whose lap she will voluntarily sit on to a whopping three people. So, he definitely passed the vibe check! The other cat at one point attempted to go home with him, lol. Declan was super communicative and definitely made it a lot easier to not worry about the cats, will definitely book him again when needed!”
“Amazing as always. So wonderful with my cats and they love him! We really enjoy the updates and photos he sends.”

About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I can take care of pets anytime of the week when needed, though I do have an online college class Monday through Thursday that's from 1-3:50pm. I can take it anywhere since I have a laptop and tablet to work with. I will have that schedule until June 26th. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.

“Sophia was very good with the cats; I could tell by the pictures that she sent. They were friendly to her when they met her. Usually they are more aloof with new people they meet.

“She worked with me very well for a last minute job, was professional and polite. She took photos to keep me assured that everything was going well, and everything in my apartment looked exactly as I left it when I returned. Very good choice, and wonderful price. I had peace of mind while gone.”
