Kade always takes such great care of both of my cats! While one loves people, the other is very shy and Kade makes sure to care for both of them in the way that best fits their needs! I am so grateful for Kade’s care of them :)

This was my second time using Thane and, as expected, they were great! They gave my kitty Rat all the snuggles he requires and had no problem with his medication. Their updates each visit were thorough. I was a bit disorganized while planning this time away and they were very understanding. I’m so glad to have found them!

Chloe is awesome! She checks in on my old pup a few days a week while I'm at work. My dog Maddi loves her! Maddi isn't a big walker, so Chloe takes her out briefly, but they spend most of the time cuddling. My dog has anxiety, and on the days Chloe is there, she's so much happier when I get home.

About: I may not have a lot of pet experience but when I love something, I do it 110% I work full time in mental health /substance use and as you can imagine, my day to day is extremely stressful and I talk to rude people with a smile on my face. But around animals, it’s a real smile. They love us so unconditionally and do so much for us, how can you not give your pet the world and them some after that? All I want to do is make sure every animal feels love, safe and happy. I work 4, 10 hour days a week and 3 days off. I can easily squeeze in multiple drop ins, walks, and house sitting on my days off which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. Even a small overnight could be possible. I also work from home often. Sundays are my guaranteed work from home day so I can find drop in or walk times. As well as house sitting on Sundays! Saturdays, I’m off earlier, clock out by 6:30, so I can definitely squeeze in a night drop in or 2. Monday’s and Tuesdays are my “in office all day” days so I wouldn’t be able to do anything those 2 days, but every other day, I can work something out no problem! I try my best to not break their routine. I have a pretty good understanding of animal body language and I can tell when they are stressed or overwhelmed. Me being a stranger to them, can already have them slightly stressed. So the best thing I can do for them is to continue doing what they already know.

⸻ I can’t recommend Hannah enough as a dog sitter! She’s incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. My dog felt immediately at ease with her, which says a lot—he can be a bit shy with new people. Hannah kept me updated with photos and little notes about how things were going, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a clean house. It’s clear she goes above and beyond.
