“We were so at ease leaving our 3 cats in the care of Eloisa. Typically we tend to worry about the girls while on vacation, not this time. Absolutely will reach ot to her again as well as recommend her to friends and family. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.”
“Trinade was amazing! It was so nice to be able to go on vacation and know my cat was being well taken care of. I really enjoyed getting the picture updates too. Thank you Trinade for taking such good care of Marshy!!!!”
“Very helpful and knowledgeable. She took care of our kitties for three days while we were gone. You could tell that they were very comfortable with her and that she enjoys going what she is asked to do. My wife left a detailed list with pictures and everything on how to take care our babies and it was followed to a T. Thank you for everything.”
“Jaidyn did awesome taking care of our two cats. She was very respectful and sent cute photo updates. Jaidyn even accommodated our special requests. She was always quick to communicate and respond. Will definitely use her again!! Thank you!!!”
About: For the last 4 years my husband and I have had 4 dogs. He often travels, so I am usually caring for them alone. We have a husky, 2 pit-husky mixes, and a Belgium shepherd. I trained the Belgium shepherd from puppy age, and she’s now the sweetest and best guard dog out there! Our dogs can be stubborn at times, and I’ve even had to break up a couple of dog fights. I am able to handle difficult situations if your dog is a little tougher or not as friendly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs because of their loyalty and cuteness. From small dogs to large- I can care for them however you need and will treat them like they’re my own! I recently quit my job because we moved, so I have all the free time in the world! I can be flexible and stay with your pet to play longer if you need. Since we currently have 4 dogs we are not taking any pets to stay with us. However, we have a barn and hope to be able to house dogs there some day!
“Patricia did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. I would highly recommend her.”

I have experience with small animals, dogs, and even bunnies, and I’m happy to accommodate special needs or requests. I’m also a mom and teacher, so patience and attentiveness come naturally to me! Whether you’re going on vacation or need someone reliable during the day, I’d love to help! Let’s chat to see if we’re the perfect fit. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will get lots of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard and two friendly dogs who love to make new friends, but I can also crate your pup if they need space or a quiet environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home.

Danyelle S.
“Danyelle is a very responsible individual whom I would trust with any pet! Her empathetic and selfless heart shine through especially when working with animals. Personally, seeing her with my own cats is so heartwarming. When she first met my rescue kitten, Simon, he warmed up to her immediately despite his lack of affection towards me. I’ve never seen a cat more well-loved than her cat Gunther, and the bond she’s been able to grow with her is so touching. She is so passionate about kindness towards every living being- not just animals, but in the people she interacts with day to day as well”
