We use Vickie and Kylee for our critters any time we leave town. They are honest, dependable, and take great care of our animals every time we leave them in their care. I would highly recommend them.

Kat was wonderful. When she had a question she was not afraid to reach out for clarification. Our cats were well fed and cared for and she brought our trash cans in without asking! I would trust her with my cats again.

For a last-minute need, Rachael got back to my request in 5 mins. She came over that night to meet Roxy and did the drop in and walk just as she promised the next day. Highly recommend!

Kate took care of my fur family while I was out of town. I was often worried about them, but Kate put my mind at ease by providing me with regular check ins on how everyone was doing. Kate sent photos of my cats showing that she spent time with them. Seeing them sitting on her lap brought me so much peace. I looked forward to receiving the photos of them she sent! Thanks, Kate!

Joy was a great sitter for my cat! She was very friendly during our meet and greet and took great care of Abel while I was gone! She took tons of photos and it looks like Abel had a fun time with her.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals taught me how to provide attentive care, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind. I have experienced with administering medications, anxious, and reactive pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time each day to feed, walk, play, and provide companionship. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits and walks while maintaining a consistent routine, so pets receive the attention and care they need. I prioritize each pet's safety and comfort by carefully following the owner's instructions and maintaining their normal routine. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and closely monitor pets during walks and playtime. I also pay attention to each pet's behavior and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.

We had Sarah take care of our lab for a week. She did an excellent job. We had daily communications and photos. She went out of her way to make sure our pet got the best care. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind caregiver for their pets.

I can easily incorporate care for your pet into our very flexible schedule. I can offer walks, play and companionship to your pet and visits to dog parks if they like to play with other dogs.

Kim is very friendly, courteous and polite. My dogs immediately took a liking to Kim and showed her how comfortable they were with her while holding them in her arms. As soon as my dogs were placed on Kim's lap, they stopped barking (usually a constant barkers) and became calm. Kim's secure, loving affection she conveys has a valuable impact to my dogs' temperaments.

Vickie was able to come and check out the lay of the land and see the two cats on short notice which was great. The guys seemed to be fine when I got home and she did send pictures of even the one that is the scardie cat--so she made friends. Thanks.
