Miranda did a fantastic job! I was gone for a little over a week and with one of my cats being a bit under the weather and taking medicine twice daily I was a bit nervous about leaving them. However, Miranda did a great job getting my little one his medicine, playing with them, and keeping me updated with pictures and little summaries of her visits! I even came back to an apartment that I swear is cleaner than when I left it! Miranda is amazing and I highly recommend her services!

Izabelle showed a lot of interest and care for our cat at our initial meeting. She was very dependable and followed our care instructions. She sent several photos of our cat after each visit, though I did have to prompt her to send me messages as to how our big boy was doing overall. She immediately complied, though the messages were brief. When we arrived home it was nice to find our home just as we had left it, as well as a a happy cat who obviously had not missed any meals or treats. I would definitely use Izabelle again

Bailey stayed with my four pets for a weekend and was fantastic and respectful. Two pets are seniors and one is reactive and she handled them all with love and care. She provided updates and pictures while I was away. I look forward to using her services again.

I have know Jennay since she was very little. She was my neighbor, as when she got older she often came over to help with yard work and taking care of my critters. The animals loved her, she was kind and obviously loved them too! She was not afraid to do the dirty work (scooping poop) or the fun stuff like grooming. She helped with horses, dogs, donkey and goat and was great with all. I work with a non-profit that provides equine assisted therapy, and Jennay volunteered to assist at several of our kids camps. She is as good with kids as she is with critters! I would not hesitate to put my furry family in her care!

J is, without a doubt, one of the best sitters anyone could ask for! He has an amazing attention to detail and he will never miss a beat with your pups. He took the absolute best care of my animals when I lived in the same area and I could not recommend him more! His love for animals is extremely evident and he constantly goes above and beyond to take care of all animals and households. Ten out of ten in my book!

While we were away at a wedding, Tiffany took great care of our German Shorthairs! She was dependable, trustworthy, and great at communicating with us. Piper and Jake loved being able to stay at home while we were away. Tiffany let them run off energy in our back yard, played with them and made sure they were well taken care while we were away. Definitely will have Tiffany take care of our dogs during our next trip out of town. I highly recommend using Tiffany to care for your pets while you’re away. It will give you peace of mind they are comfortable in their own home, getting plenty of exercise, water, food, pets and being well taken care of! Thanks Tiffany!!

About: I am a loyal person and trustworthy and I’ll do anything to make your animals as happy as can be. I like to go above and beyond to make an animal feel loved. I work from home so my schedule works great with taking care of animals. I prefer not to be staying the night with animals but be with them during the day. In my home I always make the time to take my dog on a walk at least three times a day. I let her play around the yard. I manage when she eats and she tells me when she needs to go potty. With a customers animals I would be pushing myself to follow their routine for their animals as much as possible and push to make sure everything is down correctly.
