“Heather checked in on my cat once a day, for a total of 9 days while I was out the country. She made me feel at ease knowing everything back home was okay. My cat quickly came out his shell and was playful and talkative with her which let me know he was comfortable and content with her. I appreciate her and would definitely consider using again in the future. So I absolutely would recommend her to others.. Thanks again Heather, was a pleasure meeting and having you.”

She even noticed and addressed potential health concerns, going above and beyond to ensure Peaches' well-being. Her communication was excellent, keeping me updated with detailed messages and pictures. I felt at ease knowing Peaches was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Hanling for her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Hanling, for your outstanding care and support during this tough time!”

16. Ivanis L.
About: Animals are everything to me. Everyday I work with animals, Im a trained vet assistant who is in school to be a vet tech. I have fostered both young and old. If anything were to happen to your pets I can take them into my work place and discuss treatment over the phone. I work full time but my husband and I have every good schedule on letting out dogs. I also have a job that allows me to clock out to let them out midday. My animals are normal fed 7-9 am and 6-8 pm. My house is baby proofed as some of my babies are too smart for their own good. But I do have cameras to be able to see them and alarm systems. All of my pets have been around fosters of all shapes and sizes so pets coming into my home need to be comfortable with that.
17. Robert A.
“Robert has taken care of my dogs on several occasions. He is very conscientious and my dogs love it when he sits for them! He takes them on great walks.”
18. Mykale W.
“Mykale is a wonderful cat-sitter! I have two elderly cats, one of whom requires twice daily medication, and so I'm always a bit nervous about leaving them behind if I have to travel. Knowing that Mykale is dropping in on them while I'm gone has really put my mind at ease. She is very communicative and the cats warmed up to her really quickly. When the winter weather got truly awful she even switched to an overnight stay last minute to ensure that Rascal would get his medication in the morning as scheduled even if everyone got snowed in!”
19. Val G.
“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
20. Shelby D.
“Shelby took great care of our two cats. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, played with them, and was all-around very conscientious. They were not fussy when I came home, so I know she made them feel taken care of while I was gone.”
