2. Elizabeth M.
“I’m so glad I boarded my two cats with Elizabeth! My drop off and pick up times we’re pretty late and she accommodated me perfectly. Everything was super convenient. She sent me updates on my babies while I was away which gave me peace of mind and overall her and Steve are just pleasant people. 10/10 stars! Would definitely board again.”

7. Katelyn G.
“When I first met Katelyn she was taking care of Harry, her lovely black lab who was diagnosed with late stage cancer shortly after we met. Her commitment to Harry's care and the consistent attention she provided to him reflect the responsibility and love that any pet owner would want to see when having someone watch their pet. Katelyn is very conscious of what an animal is feeling and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable, entertained, happy, well-fed, and safe. If you are considering having Katelyn watch your pet, know that she is amazing and the best pet caregiver I have met!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and a little yorkie who is now with my mom. My goal is to help provide a safe and calm environment for your fur babies and give you a peace of mind that they are being given the best service possible. I work overnights so I have availability in the mornings 7:30AM-11AM on weekdays work best for me. With notice I may be able to make an exception. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will do everything I can to make them not only comfortable but feel safe with every visit.

“Chelsea is simply amazing. She’s very flexible and always happy to check on our crazy boy. He loves to destroy everything in our house, Chelsea doesn’t mind picking up the mess. We can tell Marvin loves hanging out with her in the back yard and she isn’t fazed by how crazy he can get. We love reading her report cards and she takes some great pictures too! If you need a dog sitter, she’s the one!”
