“Olivia Grace took amazing care of our old beagle when we had to go out of town. When we got home he was happy and calm, and she left our house very clean! She was great at communicating with us and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”

“Mallory Johnston has been our house/pet sitter for several of our extended out of town trips. It is wonderful to be able to leave town with the knowledge that your pets and your house will be responsibly looked after. We have multiple cats and it's a full-time challenge to look after them, it's more than just food and water. Mallory is knowledgeable about animal care and she will consult the vet if there is any question about special care needed We highly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters as a pet sitter is my passion for animals and my dedication to providing the best care possible. I am free any time of the day, to take care of your furry babies! I am currently unemployed and have the time in the world!! When caring for animals in clients' homes, I make sure to follow their specific instructions and routines. This includes feeding them according to their dietary needs, providing fresh water, and giving them plenty of exercise and playtime. Additionally, I ensure their living spaces are clean and comfortable, and I give them lots of love and attention to keep them happy and content while their owners are away.
