“Tessa is a gem. Loki loved her during the “meet and greet”, as she was playing with him and petting him. She followed our instructions and took excellent care of him. We look forward to the next time she can watch him!”
“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”
“Abigail was a fantastic pet sitter for our kitten, Teo! Our shy cat was immediately drawn to her during an introductory visit, which was a good sign. She took amazing care of Teo and sent lots of pictures, which I appreciated. Our flight was delayed 9 hours and she was willing to stop in again to make sure Teo was properly cared for. Hiring Abigail again in the future is a no-brainer for us, she was absolutely incredible! Thank you Abigail for all your hard work!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, lots of dogs and cats, but I have had some Hampsters and guinea pigs too. I'll always respect your pets as if they were my own. I have a toddler in school so there will be plenty of time to come and care for your pets, all the pets and walks they could want I have two inside cats, they have lots of cat toys to play with and are taken care of very well, little spoiled but that's ok. I play with them, give them lots of affection and always make sure they have food and water.
“Couldn’t be happier! She took such good care of my boys! I think they really would not have minded me being gone longer. Will definitely be asking her to sit for them again. She was great! Thank you so much!”

About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.

“I have been a long time client for Celeste and I have never been happier. She looks after my senior dog Max (12 y/o dalmation) and my kitten Lance (9 months). The amount of care of love she puts in as if my animals were here own is unparalleled. She walks my dog, gives him his pills, bathes him, and cleans up after him. For my cat, she changes his litter, plays with him, and brushes him. She has been an absolute life saver with my busy schedule! She is fantastic and does a great job with following up on care and communicating with me.”

“Beth is a nurturer at heart. I know she has 4 fur babies and 2 cats she cares for at her house. She also had a special needs senior pug she cared for that had diabetes requiring insulin daily.
