“Katherine was a Godsend! I had several last minute changes of plans and needed someone to care for my fur babies for me and like the Last Daughter of Krypton, Super woman Katherine came to the rescue. As a dog behaviorist she managed to keep my hyperactive husky and my non social Lab Heeler mix both exercised and interacting with other doggos! I trust her completely with my pack.”
“Luna, our 7 month old Rottweiler mix, had a blast with Fred (Jeffrey’s dog) while we were out of town for four days! They did a great job caring for her and gave us regular updates. We will definitely use them again!”
“I feel so good about leaving Gobby with Lindsay and Chris. He was previously traumatized by staying in a kennel but he came home happy and calm after a week with them. I received pictures and updates on him while we were away and I know he was much better staying in a home environment with a friendly family. Thank you so much!”
“I found Tracey extremely last minute for my dad’s dog and she was beyond kind and communicative. She sent me photos of my dad’s dog, as well as let me know how he was doing as he has bad separation anxiety! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Tracey!”
“Our pup warmed up to Darby and her family quickly and enjoyed having some playmates. Darby sent photo updates and followed all instructions. Would use her again for our boarding needs.”
“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”
“Mikaela was amazing! Flexible with our changing schedule. She sent us updates and photos multiple times throughout the day which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our fur baby behind. The kennels were spotless and the run area was large and well kept. We would definitely use her again.”
“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and thank goodness I found Amanda!! Wow! She had an outstanding response rate to all of my texts and calls. She even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me she was ok because she knew I was nervous about her being an escape artist. When I picked up my dog both times, my girl seemed so content & happy. Amanda and her husband have a big beautiful home and give lots of love and care to their animals. I’m using her anytime I’m in this area again. Such a relief 🦋”
“Sandra does an outstanding job of taking care of our dog. She has boarded our dog twice for one-week stays. With a large, fenced-in yard, our dog has plenty of room to run. Sandra gives loving attention to our dog and provides pictures and videos. Sandra truly loves dogs, and I highly recommend her service.”
“Was welcomed before I ever got out of my truck by this beautiful family. Could feel a peace and comfort in just our first few words. Once I got Ms Luna out you could see their care for dogs. While we were out of town they would send little videos and photos of just how well she was doing. In everyone Luna looked as happy as a new puppy. When I came to pick her up I would say she was happier and looked even better than when I left my house with her. If we need a sitter again, no doubt Stephanie will be our go to. Can't thank y'all enough for all you and your family did for Luna.”
“Our dog Ryder spent six nights with Yuwadee. It was Ryder's first time away from us since we adopted him from the Blue Ridge Humane Society last March so we were very worried. Yuwadee kept in contact with us the entire time with messages and pictures that really helped. Yuwadee was great and we could tell Ryder really liked her. I would recommend Yuwadee and will certainly use her again in the future.”
“Laura and her family took amazing care of Kiki! We loved the photos and the updates, and we could tell that Kiki had lots of love and companionship with Laura. It was particularly helpful to know that she has experience with loose leash walking. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone!”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She was able to board our dog at the last minute. (The other person I boarded with got sick and we were packing the car to leave when I found out.) Katelyn was very conscientious and texted with me when our dog wouldn't eat. Katelyn was able to get her eating again. She also took her on daily walks. I would absolutely let our dog stay with Katelyn and her family again.”
“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”
“Alexandra was amazing with our little boy! She was so patient and took such good care of him while we were away. They went on lots of trips to the park and we got lots of updates. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!”
“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our fur baby Kobe! I would highly recommend her to anyone who chooses to board with her. She sent me multiple updates consistently throughout the day (with pictures) and reassured me that’s everything was going great! ♥️ I would definitely rebook with her! Highly recommend booking with her when you leave for your next trip!”
“Brian and Yui are great! Bailey is nervous around new friends and in new places, and Brian took the time to slowly introduce her and make sure she was comfortable. Pictures and video updates eased my worry while being away, and Bailey absolutely loves the delicious homemade treats that were sent home with her! Would definitely recommend.”

About: Our home is 100% dog friendly. I have a poodle that lovingly shows the house to her guests so they feel comfortable upon arrival. She doesn't get her feelings hurt if a pup prefers their own space while staying here.
“Robin was a wonderful cat sitter for our senior cat during our vacation in Cleveland/Helen, Georgia. Our senior cat does not generally like people that aren't my or my husband, but Robin handled her with patience, kindness, and understanding. She respected our cat’s space while still making sure she was eating, drinking, getting her treats, and enjoying her favorite comfort items. Robin also graciously allowed us to visit and check in on our cat during the trip and was flexible with our schedules, which gave us such peace of mind. You can tell she deeply cares about the pets she watches. She cared for our cat for several overnights in a row, and throughout the experience she was warm, friendly, communicative, and thoughtful. She also gave us fantastic recommendations for places to visit around town while we were vacationing! We are grateful for Robin and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Mikaela took amazing care of my senior cat, Dusty. She was patient, attentive, and followed all instructions to make sure Dusty stayed comfortable and happy. I loved receiving the photos and updates! I would absolutely trust Mikaela to care for her again.”
“Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.”
“Aaron went above and beyond for our kitty! She got sick just before we were scheduled to leave; he gave her medicine, and dealt with the unpleasant litter boxes that accompanied her illness. Thankfully that only lasted a few days. She is shy, and never let him get a good look at her, but he kept trying. Aaron is also an excellent communicator. He kept us apprised of her condition (as revealed by her litter boxes). We highly recommend Aaron and hope to have him as our sitter for the foreseeable future.”
“Jordan was fabulous! She was able to administer oral calming medication to our cat during our absence which we have not been able to do and she sent great reports and pictures. She did everything we asked her to do. We plan to use her again if we need a pet sitter.”
“Adreahna took great care of our kitty, and our kitty warmed right up to Adreahna. She checked in and uploaded pics of her, which we lived. Kitty wasn’t even mad when we got home! Thank you!!”

About: I have experience caring for animals since I was a child. I prefer working with animals as I find it very rewarding. If you need help with your pets, please reach out!

“Kristi was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and seem to positively relate to our babies. We have old cats and one requires medication twice a day. Some sitters we have had were not always able to give her the medication. Betsy let her do it without too much trouble.”

“We had our three dogs spend a day with Kathrine while we were visiting the North Georgia Wildlife & Safari Park during a week long stay at Unicoi State Park. They say they each give Ms. K four paws up for a fantastic visit for a total of 12 paws up. We unfortunately got a flat tire just before reaching her house, so we had to do a tire repair there and we got to see how quickly our pups calmed down around her as a new person and being in a new location. We definitely would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Stephanie was amazing with Teddy while we explored the city! You can tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. We had been traveling with Teddy for over two weeks, and she even gave him a bath so he was clean and fresh when we picked him up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”

“Stefanie was great with my fur baby Lizzie. Lizzie has anxiety and can’t be left alone or put in a kennel. Stefanie stayed with Liz every minute why we were gone. Stefanie took Lizzie on long walks in the woods and down to the lake. Stefanie updated me through out the day letting me know how Liz was doing and even sent me pictures of Liz through out the day. Liz stayed with Stefanie two days in a row. The 2nd morning we took Liz, she was so excited to see Stefanie. That means so much to a pet owner when your pet is happy to be with someone in their care. We will be using Stefanie again when we are back in the area. Thanks so much your the best Stefanie!”
About: As someone who personally has an animal with special needs I understand the kind of care they need! I also have experience working with animals of all ages. Along with working with animals of all ages I have both volunteered and worked at a local Humane Society. Working there entailed feeding, cleaning, and providing medical care to both cats and dogs. As a student who only works a part time job I am back and forth between campus and my house all week. With an older cat I frequently drop by my house throughout the day to check on him. Because of this I would be able to provide the same care to your animals as well. I live in a quiet neighborhood near several large parks. Because of this I will be able to not only walk dogs in my neighborhood but take them to surrounding parks to walk and play! Along with taking dogs out my home is equipped with cat friendly furniture,scratchers and enrichment.
“Her flexibility was so very important on this trip and she went with the flow of our revisions amazingly well. She's terrific and very loving to our dog Betsy who is deaf and 13 years old. Betsy was held and cuddled the entire stay. It's obvious that she's a committed and caring dog lover. What a treasure in these hills! Highly recommend her services to any and everyone considering her to care for your dog! You won't find better!”
“She accepted a last minute day care request for my dogs when I overlooked something in my weekend trip plans. Then the dogs were exhausted and sleepy for the car ride home!! I can tell they had a good time”
“We love Licia and Pete and are SO GRATEFUL to have such a pup-loving couple to hand our precious Sachie off to when we go rafting. Wish we could tip more, but River only allows so much. I always get a check in call from Licia to confirm all details early on (so I don’t have to initiate the call!) and our little baby comes back super happy and well-taken care of. Thank you sooo much for another great rafting trip! We appreciate you!!!”

About: I bring a lifetime of hands, on experience and a naturally calm presence. I’ve cared for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from puppies and kittens to seniors, starting with volunteering at a veterinary hospital at age 12. I’m especially good at reading animals and helping them feel at ease in a new environment. I work from home, and pet care is part of my everyday routine. Being around animals, caring for them, and paying attention to their needs is second nature to me. The best part of my day is dog walks and cuddles. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and secure. I stick closely to what they’re familiar with and take my cues from the animal. 💛
About: I’ve cared for my two Aussies for over 6 years and my cat for more than 9 — we’ve shared countless outdoor adventures and even traveled through parts of Europe together! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and nothing makes me happier than playing with them, helping them burn off energy, and snuggling up for cozy indoor days. Your pet will be treated like family — loved and cared for as if they were my own! I have 3 years of on/off use with Rover. I am currently at home full time until late June, and then unavailable until August with military training. My days with your pet are very flexible! I’ve recently moved back to my lovely hometown in North Georgia, where I now have 3 acres of fully fenced pasture and backyard space for pets to run, explore, and play safely. It’s the perfect environment for dogs who love being outdoors while still having a cozy home to relax in. No part of my home is off limits—we love snuggling on the couch or in bed. Dogs must be comfortable with cats!
“Our pup totally enjoyed her day! She seemed so happy (and tired lol) when we picked her up. Luna was a great playmate! We got a ton of pics and videos to see how her day was going. Kristen was so very sweet to us and our furbaby. We know she was well cared for and will rebook here again 💜”
“Ryan was so great! I was incredibly nervous leaving my puppy overnight at a strangers place for the first time but Ryan made me feel at easy when I saw how happy the other dogs he was taking care of looked. I would gladly come back to Ryan and will have to anytime I am in the area. Ps. The photos he took were so amazingly cute, I am very happy Lando got the chance to stay here.”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and have been an animal advocate for over forty years. As a vet tech, I can also care for pets with special needs.

We have a large fenced-in backyard and a home with many dog beds and crates are available if that’s preferred. All pets are treated as members of our family. I am also available to visit pets in their own home, once or twice a day as needed.

About: I am passionate about taking proper care of your pets and looking out for their needs such as exercising them and of course, belly rubs! I am totally flexible. I do not have any sort of other job or responsibilities. However, I do ask for at least one week notice. I specialize in doing overnight stays in your home as I do not have any pets of my own. No husband no kids, no grandkids. So I am flexible to spend a lot of time with your pets while you are gone. If you prefer, I can board your dogs in my home. I have a fenced in yard and we exercise every morning on a walk or an outing in a peaceful,safe and quiet country setting. I never have more than 4-5 dogs at a time, so everyone gets lots of individualized attention.
About: I have maintained companion animals within my household for the majority of my life. I cherish every moment with my animals—two dogs and two cats—as they provide me with immense joy and solace. I recognize that each individual shares a unique bond with their animals. I aspire to respect and celebrate this connection by facilitating the strengthening of the human-animal relationship. I am personally aware of the profound healing and support that animal companions can offer to their human families. I work part-time teaching Reiki. Morning and midday are my best times for pet care. Any day of the week is available for me. Animals love Reiki, too! When I’m pet sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pets safe and the space respected. I follow their routines exactly—feeding, walks, medications—and I secure entry points and keep emergency contacts close. I send regular updates to help the client feel confident and informed. I use the pet’s familiar toys and bedding to create a calm environment, and I stay alert to any changes in behavior or health. I treat both the animals and the home with care, consistency, and kindness, ensuring everything feels peaceful and well-maintained.
“Aaron was absolutely wonderful with our two girls!!!! And we appreciate all the pictures and updates while we were away as I am definitely one of those worry dog moms!!!! We definitely know he will continue to use him as one of our girls is very picky on who she will poop for!!!! If you need anyone he is definitely the one!!!!!”
About: Ever since I was 10 I have had experience taking care of animals. At one point in time we had 26 animals throughout our house that we had to care for. I take pride in caring for animals because they are a true joy and blessing in this world. I also have a dog of my own who is very well trained that I have had for 7 years now. I have quite a lot of free time. Therefore, potentially walking and taking care of your pets will not only give me something to fill my time with but also give me immense enjoyment! Any scheduling conflicts you may have won't be a problem for me! My house currently does not have a fence, however I will gladly walk your pets on a leash if need be. I have a lot of experience with animals and have no problem walking or putting your animals in a crate if it is what is needed.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve had cats and dogs all my life, and I know they’re more than pets—they’re family. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, whether that’s administering meds, keeping to a schedule, or just offering comfort and companionship. I’m calm, patient, and intuitive, and I treat every animal with the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. You can count on me to show up with a kind heart, a watchful eye, and a deep respect for your pet’s well-being. Pet care isn’t just part of my day—it is my day! I’m a full-time sitter with a flexible schedule, so your pets get all the love, attention, and snuggles they need. I also make time for volunteer work, which fills my heart just as much as furry face kisses do. Caring for animals fits perfectly into my rhythm—and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to favorite toys to any house rules—because I know consistency matters. I’m mindful, tidy, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. Building trust means everything to me, and I take that responsibility seriously every time I walk through your door.
“Amazing! That's one word to sum up Kristi's visits with my sweet beagle/ lab mix. She was on time, followed through with my instructions, and very attentive to my fur baby. He liked her immediately upon arrival and trusted her. Kristi is very good at what she does and I'm definitely using her again and again! ❤️ 🐕 🦴”

About: I've taken care of puppies, handled diaper changing for a physically handicapped dog, administered medications and daily vitamins, walked multiple dogs at a time, and have handled emergency vet visits for a dog with a seizure disorder. I truly enjoy spending time caring and playing with animals, they add so much to my life. I am embarking on a new adventure, just having moved here to North Carolina. Besides being with my family, spending time in nature, and caring for our furry family members at home-the rest of my time will hopefully be spent caring for your furry loved ones. I wouldn't be able to board in my own home, but can definitely do a stellar job caring for your animals in any way that is needed.

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have owned and cared for my dog, Luna, since she was just 2 months old, giving me experience with everything from puppy care and training to daily exercise, feeding, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up, I also helped care for my family's dogs, which taught me responsibility and how to meet the unique needs of different pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like part of the family. 🐾💕 I spend most of my time with work, and with my dog outside that is why pet care will fit into my daily routine smoothly, since I am pretty much an outside person all day. I care for my pets just as I would my babies I provide water and food and plenty of toys. I will make sure that they are outside releasing energy and also inside doing stimulatory games. I have games that consist of finding treats, and even some that consist cold treats.
About: My wife(Emerald) and I have experience as professional dog/house sitters. For two years we traveled with our own mobile dog grooming business. We are confident in our abilities to care for elderly and young dogs. We recently took care of a liter of 6 pups and momma till they were ready to be in their forever homes.

“Madeleine was great! Sent me several photos and gave me updates while I was away from my pup. I felt like he was in good hands, would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
About: my specialized experience in training puppies, providing attentive senior pet care, and ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and engaged while their owners are away. I’ve taken care of multiple peoples dogs before ever since I was growing up from small to large to young and old. I do my very best to become a good companion to any pet. I'm currently working part time and in college so I have some extra time to spend time with some new pets and make some new best friends! caring in my clients home by ensuring a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s specific feeding, exercise, and medication routines while also providing plenty of playtime, mental stimulation, and affection. Whether it’s keeping a puppy on track with training, offering gentle care for senior pets, or simply making sure they feel loved while their owner is away, I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs."
About: I worked at a vet clinic for a couple of years. I also worked at a dog training facility for a year. I know it’s hard to leave your fur baby behind but I can promise you that they will be safe and definitely loved! I just had a baby and not able to work in the moment. So I’m up early in the morning and up late at night so I’m very flexible! Well I will have to have my baby with me ( just a warning). But I normally treat them as my own. I will walk them every 2-3 hours then I’m there. If the owner has any schedule I follow the schedule or any instructions. I do normally send pictures and videos of the fur baby to the owner and keep them updated with everything.

“Katherine was a Godsend! I had several last minute changes of plans and needed someone to care for my fur babies for me and like the Last Daughter of Krypton, Super woman Katherine came to the rescue. As a dog behaviorist she managed to keep my hyperactive husky and my non social Lab Heeler mix both exercised and interacting with other doggos! I trust her completely with my pack.”
“I found Tracey extremely last minute for my dad’s dog and she was beyond kind and communicative. She sent me photos of my dad’s dog, as well as let me know how he was doing as he has bad separation anxiety! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Tracey!”
“Our pup warmed up to Darby and her family quickly and enjoyed having some playmates. Darby sent photo updates and followed all instructions. Would use her again for our boarding needs.”
“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”
“Sandra does an outstanding job of taking care of our dog. She has boarded our dog twice for one-week stays. With a large, fenced-in yard, our dog has plenty of room to run. Sandra gives loving attention to our dog and provides pictures and videos. Sandra truly loves dogs, and I highly recommend her service.”
“Was welcomed before I ever got out of my truck by this beautiful family. Could feel a peace and comfort in just our first few words. Once I got Ms Luna out you could see their care for dogs. While we were out of town they would send little videos and photos of just how well she was doing. In everyone Luna looked as happy as a new puppy. When I came to pick her up I would say she was happier and looked even better than when I left my house with her. If we need a sitter again, no doubt Stephanie will be our go to. Can't thank y'all enough for all you and your family did for Luna.”
“Our dog Ryder spent six nights with Yuwadee. It was Ryder's first time away from us since we adopted him from the Blue Ridge Humane Society last March so we were very worried. Yuwadee kept in contact with us the entire time with messages and pictures that really helped. Yuwadee was great and we could tell Ryder really liked her. I would recommend Yuwadee and will certainly use her again in the future.”
“Laura and her family took amazing care of Kiki! We loved the photos and the updates, and we could tell that Kiki had lots of love and companionship with Laura. It was particularly helpful to know that she has experience with loose leash walking. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone!”
“Katelyn was wonderful! She was able to board our dog at the last minute. (The other person I boarded with got sick and we were packing the car to leave when I found out.) Katelyn was very conscientious and texted with me when our dog wouldn't eat. Katelyn was able to get her eating again. She also took her on daily walks. I would absolutely let our dog stay with Katelyn and her family again.”
“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”
“Alexandra was amazing with our little boy! She was so patient and took such good care of him while we were away. They went on lots of trips to the park and we got lots of updates. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!”
“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”
“Brian and Yui are great! Bailey is nervous around new friends and in new places, and Brian took the time to slowly introduce her and make sure she was comfortable. Pictures and video updates eased my worry while being away, and Bailey absolutely loves the delicious homemade treats that were sent home with her! Would definitely recommend.”
“Archie stayed 4 nights he was happy to be dropped off at Robin’s dog friendly house. When I picked him up he was happy & playful tired from all the fun & attention. A definite return visit❤️?”
“Kate was excellent in caring for my little Khloe while I was away on a business trip. She is very friendly and even arranged a meet and greet before the drop off day. Kate was excellent with communication and sent me daily updates and pictures of my pup. Overall it was an excellent experience and Kate made me feel comfortable about having to leave my pup for a few days. I already rebooked Kate for my next business trip!”
About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.
