2. Grace L.
“Grace is amazing! The cats were well loved and taken care of. I got daily reports on how things were going. Even Georgiana who is scared of strangers felt comfortable enough to get some cuddles with her. I’ll definitely use Grace next time I need someone to watch them.”
3. Kenyetta M.
“Kiwii really went above and beyond when looking after our dog (also named Rover). In addition to the basic outline we provided her of Rover's needs, she was diligent to ask great follow up questions to ensure the best care possible. She took lots of photos (high quality ones at that) of their time together; we ended up even having one framed! Overall, so caring, so courteous, and really reliable. Would have her in my home again to look after our baby!!”
4. Madeline K.
“Madeline was a total delight and was so great to work with! We were able to meet ahead of time to go through details of what our kitties needed. Madeline was prompt, professional, and communicative thought the time we were gone. We got lots of updates and photos, and everything was in great condition when we got back. Our cats seemed very happy. We are so appreciative of Madeline’s care and will definitely rebook in the future!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was eight years old and have had dogs and cats of my own. I am a friend of the fur babies:) My friends and neighbors have relied on me to take good care of their pets while they were away. I’m currently working from home and live near the lake and walking trails so I am able to exercise and play with your pup during the day:) You can relax and have the peace of mind that I only take on one pet at a time to make sure they have my attention.
18. Imani P.
“Imani is very patient and empathetic person that shines through when caring for others’ pets. She is very respectful and considerate of an owner’s preferences for their furry loved ones. She has always been kind and loves cuddling with my dog, Pringle. He honestly gets more excited to see her now, because he knows he is going to get extra spoiled and played with. She is communicative about her schedule and if she cannot fulfill a request.”
