2. Bradley M.
“Bradley was fantastic while taking care of our kitties. He engaged and played with them during his visits and kept us updated with photos each day while we were away. I will definitely bring booking with Bradley in the future”

6. Kara E.
“Kara was an excellent companion for our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She came around the same time every day and sent us thorough updates, photos, and videos. If Pete could give a review it would be a five paw too- Kara was patient and loving enough to coax him out of his hiding spots to play and even offer a belly! 100% recommend Kara!”
7. Britany R.
“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”
8. Leesa H.
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
9. Haley H.
“Haley was great with our dog Indy. He’s a little reserved at first, but she was so patient and kind with Indy. I really appreciated her taking such good care of him while we were gone for a weekend. Thank you Haley!!”

11. Sierra H.
“Sierra did a great job taking care of my fur babies while I was out of town. They got lots of love and attention and I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter.

“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own. This brief story encapsulates the longtime love and care Sara puts towards pets, dogs especially. She will love and bond with any pup that comes her way!”

About: I have been around pets my entire life. I have taken care of baby kittens, rabbits, puppies, and have had to administer every type of medication to animals. I am an animal lover and am happy to help!! I go to class from 8:00am -12:30pm on weekdays, and I am completely free on weekends. I have a lot of free time and I would love to meet new animals! I have a larger house with a fenced in backyard in Oakwood with plenty of space and greenery. My roommates are all huge animal lovers and we would just love to have some pets in the house.

Watching Keira with her dog, Mila, makes it obvious to everyone just how amazing and passionate she is about animals.”
