“Kimberly is wonderful!! She was patient and so sweet with my shy cats. She also sent me detailed notes with lots of pictures, so I was comfortable knowing they were well taken care of!”


“Lauren is great!! My puppy had the best time with her, she sent us updates and photos every check-in, great communication and care! I will definitely book with her again.”


“We recently moved to Texas and finding a good pet sitter was one of my biggest worries. I have 2 cats, one of which needs daily medication. We had our first out of town trip this weekend and Bethany was able to ensure that Mia got her medicine and sent some lovely pictures / updates. Would highly recommend!”


“Mikinze is an excellent cat sitter! She took such good care of my two kitties, both of whom are a bit high maintenance. lol! She was extremely communicative, & sent multiple pics & detailed notes every day, twice a day. And she didn’t just feed & scoop their litter & leave—she actually petted them & gave them lots of love and attention. I felt quite comfortable that my kitties were very well taken care of, which of course, is of utmost importance! I will definitely use her in the future. Mikinze is truly amazing, & I couldn’t imagine a better sitter!”

About: I understand how important it is to have someone dependable you can trust to keep your pets happy, safe, and cared for—while sticking to the routine they know and love. I currently have one playful and sweet kitty, and I grew up caring for three golden Labradors and two guinea pigs, so animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve also regularly looked after pets for friends and family, whether they’re traveling or just need a little extra help with day-to-day care. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits during mornings, lunch hours, and evenings, with occasional weekend availability as well. Whether your pet needs feeding, enrichment, a walk, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help. I'm experienced with many types of pets, but I especially enjoy caring for cats. From quick check-ins to longer hangouts or walks around the block, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. You can also expect lots of photo updates to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. I’m happy to meet ahead of time to get to know you and your pet, answer any questions, and make sure everything feels right before a scheduled visit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members soon!


“Kyle was amazing! He was extra attentive to Kenzie while I was away and had no problem doing all the extra steps for her senior care. He takes amazing pictures too! He even programmed my TV to help her have some background noise. I know she enjoyed his visits. He also has fantastic communication and is a very honest human! I will definitely use him again!”


“Kalyn did amazing with Duke. she was very attentive with him and talked with him like they were best friends. she stated in constant contact with me when she was with him and always let me know how he was doing. His bowls were always full and he got plenty of exercise playing fetch with his favorite ball. 10 out of 10 would recommend her to anyone.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Kelly doing drop-in visits with our dog. She was immediately kind and caring with our dog when we first met and it was clear that this continued while we were away. She was reliable with great communication and sent many photos so we stayed up-to-date on all of the action at home. We will absolutely request Kelly again in the future!”


“Today was our first meet & greet with Storm, and I’m so glad we connected! He was kind, calm, and very professional. I immediately felt comfortable talking to him, and he really took the time to get to know my dog, Coco. It was great to see how quickly Coco connected with him and also with his sweet dog, Harley! They got along right away, which made me feel even more confident. I’ll definitely be continuing with Storm for walks and care, and I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog walker.”
