“Paz looked after our senior dog through a tornado warning and heat wave while we were traveling internationally. Paz went way, way above the call of duty by taking our girl to the vet when she started a hunger strike mid-way through the visit. The vet remarked that Paz was very knowledgable, attentive, and great with our girl. Paz has some sort of gift for getting animals to take medications - hopefully she'll offer a "how to" class at some point! And Paz stays in very frequent contact, sending updates and lots of photos. We are so very grateful for Paz!! She is caring, responsible, and very attentive. We cannot recommend her enough.”

She was responsive when we first reached out to her and came by to meet Holly a few days before we left. Holly took to her right away. We felt comfortable having g Lane stay in our house and she spent lots of time with Holly. She took Holly on walks around the neighborhood and sent lots of pictures.

Dylan also sent us a number of photos while he was watching our dod to let us know he was doing great. We highly recommend Dylan.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life. I love to treat them like they are little humans. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I bring a calm, loving presence to every pet I care for. I’ve looked after both energetic pups and older cats with health issues—including one of my own—so I understand how to be patient, attentive, and gentle. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a reliable routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I can pop in after work and on weekends. I am open to other times if it works for the both of us. My schedule can be flexible depending the week. I have two cats in my Household currently. I care for them everyday by cleaning the cat box, fresh food and water. They love play time and bed time is at 10pm. They are well trained kitties.
“Olivia is a wonderful sitter! She sends lots of updates throughout the day about what Sulley is up to and he always looks like he is having a blast! I will definitely continue to book Olivia since Sulley has such a good time going on walks with her and playing his games.”
