Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.

Melanie was great with our pets. She sent lots of pics/videos, and made me feel extremely confident that they were being well loved. I would definitely recommend her, and will be using her again in the future!

Rachel did a great job watching our old man for a couple nights. Munchie is 19 and pretty low maintenance but has his quirks. Sent pictures throughout the day and let us know when he was up and about. Would ask her to watch him again!

I’ve worked with Ellie before, and she’s great to work with. She follows the routine exactly, but also brings this calm, confident energy that my dogs seemed to love. Mine can be a handful, and she handled everything like it was no big deal.

Megan took wonderful care of our fur babes and our home. It’s so stressful leaving our elderly cat that has some health issues, but she handled everything with ease. Communication was great and I really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. I highly recommend Megan :)

About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs from puppy to senior, as my parents both had dogs of their own and raised puppies. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds from my time volunteering at the Fairfield Humane Society and have spent time pet sitting for many of my neighbors. I work remotely part time, so I set my own hours. This gives me ample time to spend with your best friend while you work or have other commitments to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have a fenced in backyard and am willing to cater my care to your dogs preferences from walk time to crate time and everything in between.

I am so incredibly appreciative and happy with Laci's amazing care for my kitties. Laci was professional, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond. She sent updates, pictures, and videos daily for me which I was so thankful for. Laci's passion, love, and care for animals is so evident. What was most impressive of all was her ability to go above and beyond when it came to medicating my spicy senior kitty, Raina. She was able to brainstorm with me and provide her expertise in how to best go about administering the medication each day while I was gone. She also provided so much affection and love for my younger kitty, Gavin, who can be a handful for sure. :) Laci's care for my kitties allowed for me to fully enjoy my vacation with my family without worrying about anything back home. I will be booking with Laci for as many future trips as possible. Please do yourself a favor and do the same - you and your pets will be thankful you did!

Merri is absolutely amazing! My 13 year old yorkie, Noel, had a kidney removed. I’m a nurse, so I work 12 hour shifts. I was so nervous to leave her at home and go back to work after the surgery. However, Merri was great with her and made me feel so much better about going back to work. It all started when she came over for the meet and greet and took careful notes. I could tell she genuinely cared about her and making sure she was comfortable. She stayed with Noel my entire work day, and took her potty and on short walks very frequently. She provided her lots of cuddles and love, and even made sure she had her sweatshirt on and blankets to curl up in. She administered her medications and checked her stitches to make sure they looked good. I received updates multiple times a day. I highly recommend Merri to anyone. She will take excellent care of your babies!

Paige was such a great sitter for our puppy! He is very energetic and loves to play. She was able to keep up and kept our little guy happy. Our pup isn’t used to being alone so Paige puppy sat and sent us photo and updates during her visit. She communicated well as we made arrangements and she was so friendly when she arrived and when we returned home. We will definitely be utilizing Paige as a sitter in the future since we could tell our pup really liked her.

Grace loves all animals and recently took great care of my Nebelung cat. She has her own dog, who adores her, and also has lived with and cared for cats, rats, and backyard chickens. I would not hesitate to use Grace again when I need a pet sitter!

Patricia did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs! She sent regular updates, was patient with their idiosyncrasies, and even managed to get all 3 out for walks together. She also took great care of our home while we were away. We were so lucky to find her!!

Trisha did a great job. Our animals loved her and she did a great job of communicating with us each day and sending photos. The house was also just as clean as when we left it. She did an awesome job and we will for certain be using her for our future trips.
