“Laura is the “cat whisperer”. My boys love her, even my one boy who does not care for others besides family. She is amazing and I recommend her whole-heartedly.”

“Lindsey is so fantastic! She is super reliable, communicative, and thoughtful! She took great care of my kitties and was so good with my elderly cat who needs daily medication. I really appreciated not having to worry about anything while I was gone thanks to her.”
“Ashley was wonderful and went above and beyond for our lab, Baron. She came by to meet us before the visits. It is obvious that she cares for animals and Baron took to her right away. Ashley played with Baron in the backyard and send photos showing us what a good time he was having. We will definitely contact her again if we have another trip where Baron can’t come.”

About: I grew up with 3 dogs at a time, if not more, for most of my life. I’ve had 4 cats. I also grew up with nine goldfish caught from the fair that are all still alive today. I currently have one family dog, one family cat, and nine goldfish. I am a full time student at USM and an active member of the sorority, Delta Delta Delta. I will make this job one of my top priorities. At home, my dog is well trained and she is an outside and inside dog. She loves going on boat rides and we make sure that she gets plenty of love all the time. For clients, I will precisely follow instructions and treat the client’s pet like my own.
“Liz is very honest and caring! She genuinely went out of her way to show she cared about her service and my cat, Vida. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely look forward to working with her again.”
“Lyric was great! She was very accommodating and enjoyed watching our cat Velma. She was very communicative and flexible when I had to modify my booking last minute. Thanks So much girl!”
“Perfect. I was thrilled my skittish little girl let her pet her. The animals loved her and she did a good job. She even sent me pictures of my angels. Will definitely use her again”
About: I haven't spent a singular year of my life without a fur companion and likely never will. I currently love 3 senior pets and appreciate every moment we have remaining. I understand the stress of leaving a pet (especially senior) and aim to offer as much calm and ease as possible. No matter the size and/or tempermant, animals deserve respect and love. They're only here for so long, so let's make that time wonderful! I just finished my first military service contract and am waiting for my next contract to begin. I am free most days and nights both weekdays and weekends. I follow specific instructions based on each individual's pet needs. I am very observant of lapses in regular behavior and react accordingly. I am no stranger to providing medication and getting creative with how to give the medication as to limit the stress on the pet. I have a large fenced in yard with free roam chickens (can be caged if needed).
“She was awesome! We left to visit family for a week and a half and she was amazing at keeping me informed of her visits. She even went to look for my Kali when she didn't come out of hiding just to make sure she was ok. Even with a hiccup in scheduling she found a solution that worked for everyone without us needing to ask. She was even willing to grab our mail for us while we were gone. Just over all an amazing sweetheart. If we go out of town in the future I would whole heartedly request her services again!”
About: I grew up rescuing dogs all of my life & have personally taken care of pets in my home as well as in their homes. I have reliable references to back it up. Your pets care is my top priority. I work part time & have a very flexible schedule. Children are at school during the day. I have 2 dogs & 1 cat of my own. I have a fenced in back yard & large vehicle for transporting animals. If service is required at your home I have reliable transportation. Also experienced with cage trained animals.
“Kirsten was great! Very quick to respond to my request and sent plenty of pictures to assure me that my pups were cared for! Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young and have plenty of experience with being a sitter. I also have a degree in biology/zoology which provides me work more information on the furry friends I work with. I am currently a pilates instructor who makes my own schedule so I am plenty flexible. I will most likely be available on the weekends. I live in a safe apartment with my husband. We have no pets or kids. We have a large field in the back of our apartment which would be great for a leashed fur baby to play in.
“She was wonderful!! She sent tons of pictures, and the cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention.”
About: I have great experience with dogs, I have one on my own and I understand the unconditional love that is shared between them. I would love to watch your furbaby! I’m currently in season for ULM basketball but check in with me for availability! As I mentioned I have a dog on my own so I can make time. I don’t have a fenced yard but, I have play areas where I can take your furbaby and we can have a great time. I have 2yr old Long-haired German Shepherd that is a friendly butterfly and play so well with other dogs, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs I can have mines put up at my neighbors home.

Carmen T.
“I've known Carmen the majority of my life. She's always exhibited such nurturing traits and has served as an incredible influence for me. Aside from her constant display of love and adoration for her own fur babies, she is someone I can always entrust to watch after my own fur baby, who is the apple of my eye. He's a rescue and needs a little more affection than the average pup, but she has never strayed away from providing that. She cultivates a home of love constantly and treats any animal as she would her own.”
