Emily was so great for our kitties during our recent absence! One of our kitties had been sick and was still receiving oral medication, so I was very nervous about leaving her behind. Emily put my mind completely at ease. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring. We felt so lucky to have found her and will absolutely reach out for drop-in visits again.

Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!

This is the third time I’ve booked Teresa, and she continues to be fantastic. She’s great with the cats, always provides regular updates (which I really appreciate!), and even managed to get my sassiest cat to cave and warm up to her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Great with Otto. He had a family emergency and wasn't able to complete the drop-ins, but he was communicative about it, which I appreciate greatly.

Aimee was great with my dogs! She showed up right on time, handled them confidently, and they warmed right up to her (treats definitely helped). This was just a prep visit for a longer stay, and I feel really good knowing they’ll be in her hands.

About: I am currently on the pre-veterinary track studying to work with animals as my career. Over my summers I work as an educator and animal handler at a farm. I also have completed an internship with the wildlife rehabilitation center and a mammal nursery intern. I am currently a full time university student but have plenty of availability and flexibility. I am open to moving my days’ schedule around to fit different pet needs! I ensure that there is a mutual respect and understanding between humans and pets. It is important to treat your pets as you would people, and show care and affection as they truly understand it.
