Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!

Emily watched our dog Mouse for 16 days while we were halfway around the world. This was the longest we had ever been away from him and the farthest. We were a little nervous going into it but Emily made us feel so at ease. She sent updates every day usually multiple times a day. She would also tailor the timing of her updates to the timezone we were in which was much appreciated as well. We could tell Mouse was well taken care of and that she gave him a lot of love. We can’t wait to work with her again!

About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transport at and would love to come to you!

We had never used any pet sitting service before and felt very nervous about leaving our dog. From the very first meeting, Laianna put our minds at ease and made us feel very comfortable. She made sure to ask us all about Gracie and we could see that she connected with Gracie right away. Gracie has so much energy and demands a lot of attention but from all the pictures and videos Laianna sent, it was obvious she was well taken care of! Laianna is very reliable, trustworthy and great with animals. We will definitely use her again for any future travel plans.

Bre’ahna provided exceptional care for our three fur babies (two dogs and one cat). She stayed overnight at our home to comfort our dogs, who get scared by themselves, Our senior pup can be a lot to deal with because she needs extra support at her age, including 3x/day medication; Bre’ahna handled her special care needs with understanding and skill. When our other dog experienced mild diarrhea, Bre’ahna promptly communicated with us, ensuring he felt better quickly. We highly recommend her!

It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!

Linda watches my 2 year old Great Dane, Ivan, while I travel a lot for work at my house with the fenced in yard. She made him into a truck dog and he LOVES going for truck rides with her now. She takes such good care of him and she even turns the sink faucet on for him when he prefers a drink of "fresh" water instead of the bowl! She loves him like he's her own, and I always feel comfortable that my baby is being given lots of love and well taken care of when I am away. She is familiar with the e-collar training, and sends lots of great pupdates. His favorite is running along side her four wheeler and playing with her dog. For the right dog who likes a little bit of farm life, Linda is the perfect pet get away.
