“Joseph dropped by to take of our cat for 3 weeks. For the entire 3 weeks Joseph kept an open line of communication and provided daily updates and pictures. Our cat loved Joseph. We highly recommend Joseph and will not hesitation to have Joseph watch our cat next time we are out of town.”
“Joseph is great! He always takes great care of the cats, even gets the shy ones to come out, is super reliable, and provides really detailed updates. I really enjoy working with him.”
“Sloane took excellent care of our cat Sammy. She took her time to find out about his routine and cared about his well being. She sent us regular updates with pictures/videos of him which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her.”
“I did not want to board my cats anymore as they are older and the whole process is quite traumatic for them. From wrangling them into carriers, driving them to the vet, getting full rounds of vaccinations for 2 mature house cats, sitting in crates for a week surrounded by unfamiliar noises, smells and sights and then bringing them home again, boarding is terrifying for them and expensive for me. I am so glad I found Liz for home visits. The cats are home in their safe space and I know they’re fed and watered. They’re both shy around strangers but Liz was able to lure Darby out from her hiding spot under the bed for some purrs and treats. I highly recommend her expertise and will use her services again in the future.”
“David did drop-in visits for me while I was traveling for work. He was polite, professional, and friendly. My boyfriend and my cats approve! Would definitely recommend.”
“Kerri did a great job taking care of our cat, Ash, while we were away on vacation. She arrived every day at the agreed-upon time, completed the tasks we requested, and even took extra time to play with our kitty. She communicated with us each day, giving us the peace of mind that everything was OK while we were away. Kerri is definitely the first one I'm calling for our next vacation.”
About: For 10 years, I have taken on the responsibility of taking care of 1-3 cats.

“I am unable to walk my dog due to an injury, and he has pretty high energy so needs long walks to tire him out. She treated my doggie like her own and took him on a very long walk as requested. She even asked if she could bring treats as the "icebreaker" when meeting him and for the walk to distract him, since I told her that he has a high prey drive and will rush/bolt after anything furry that moves. It is obvious that she is very experienced with large dogs who have a lot of energy, and my dog came back very happy and ready for a nap as I had hoped.
