Rachel was a godsend! She was sooo good with my 2 babies (cats) she automatically connected with my male cat, my female is very skittish, but Rachel knew what she needed to, T L C❤️ My plans, if she is still interested in next year, I would love for her to be able to come visit with my cats for a week again

As always, we appreciate Lila being able to watch the girls. She even came super early in the morning before she had to work which we know isn’t easy and she gave Luna some medicine for her eye which was so kind of her to do. We will definitely be booking her again!

Shawna has been dropping in to feed and care for our kitty for months now and we are so grateful! With our work schedules, having such a reliable, warm, and communicative person looking after our sweet boy has been such a relief. Steve French loves her and she always makes sure he’s well cared for. Book with Shawna and you won’t regret it! Your pet will be in great hands!

Devinder is very friendly and makes sure your pet gets the care they need. My dog Sylvester is being left alone in the home for the first time since COVID started and Devinder makes him feel comfortable while I'm away. Devinder is great about sending updates and photos. Definitely booking again!

Olivia was quickly responsive to our initial request and very flexible with her availability, especially on short notice! She was professional in all her communication and took excellent care of our kitties while we were out of town. She communicated with us every day so we knew when she was at the house and always included pictures of any of the cats she could manage to get a shot of. Would definitely use her again, her pricing was very reasonable and the quality of care was exceptional!

About: I have taken care of neighbor, friends and families dogs for the past 4 years. I’m experienced in staying over, feeding your pets, playing and giving pets care over long weekends or for a short check up. I have worked with pets who have needed medicines at allotted times ie. at breakfast or dinner times. I also have experience with using an e-collar. I love to make your pet feel as comfortable as if you had never left! Currently I have a part time job and am a college student but with I have a lot flexibility, I am able to work around my schedule so it can work out for the both of us. I am able to take your dogs on walks or to the dog park. I also am able to crate them after we have returned from activities.
