“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“Leslie was incredible! It was a last minute booking and she was so thoughtful during our meet and greet. And Lily adjusted so quickly to her. Peanut, Leslie’s dog, is also just the sweetest. I was kept updated throughout my trip and knew Lily was in the best of hands! We’ll definitely be booking again.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong cat lover with 18 years of hands-on pet care experience. Over the years, I've provided cat sitting and boarding services for cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry family member needs a quick pop in, overnight care, or extended sitting, I am committed to providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I believe every pet is unique and should be treated like family. My big heart, positive personality, and genuine passion for animals allow me to build trust with both pets and their owners. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. From energetic kitten who love adventure to senior cats who prefer a slower pace, I tailor my care to meet each pet's individual needs. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your beloved companion, and I strive to provide peace of mind through dependable, compassionate care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and treating them with the same love and attention I would give my own.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and will make your dog feel right at home. I treat every pup like my own with tons of love, attention, and playtime. Your dog will also have fun hanging out with my friendly pup, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics so you never have to worry! I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule varies a bit week to week, but pet care is still something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I do my best to keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or care during the evenings/weekends. Safety is super important to me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a calm environment, and plenty of attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and routine so I can help them feel safe and cared for. During walks or outdoor time, I keep a close eye on them and make sure they’re secure, comfortable, and having fun.

“Hope is amazing! She’s prompt, responsive, follows care instructions carefully, does extra things like bringing in mail (so thoughtful), and seems to truly care about my senior pup. Highly recommended!”
“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”

The pictures she sent of my pup and giving me updates you can see how happy he was in her home. I highly recommend her services. With the global computer outage I was running late to pick up my puppy and she stayed up late and was incredibly patient with me. She went above and beyond for a stranger like me and for my dog which is incredibly important so I thank you Tre’Ana for being such a great care taker. I plan on using her again for my trip this week. I recommend you do the same if you want excellent professional care.”

She made my dogs feel so loved and comfortable while we were away, which meant everything to us during such a difficult time. She also sent tons of videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and in great hands.
