“Thank you so much for caring for my babies they looks soo happy to see me and I can tell they had an amazing time with you! You’re my go to lady for my babies (if that’s okay with you of course 😊)”
4. Rosanna M.
“Rosanna was absolutely fantastic! I am so glad that I decided to reach out to her. She took such great care of my little boy (feeding him, playing with him, & keeping his litter box clean). I hadn't left my cat alone over night before (and he is very attached to me), so this was a big step! And I have to say it was a massive peace of mind going out of town & knowing someone was checking in on him. I left detailed instructions for her & she followed them to the T, & also sent me regular images of him being his normal mischievous/playful self. I will definitely be reaching out to her the next time I have to go out of town!”

About: Hello every pet owner! My name is Tasanee (pronounced like the water brand Dasani, just with a T). I have been an avid animal lover for as long as I can remember, and I have always wanted to work with animals as a career, and what better way to jumpstart that by giving your babies love and unlimited fun, while also gaining experience and knowledge! 🤗 When I was around 8 years old, my parents adopted our dog, a Silky Terrier, Monroe. I remember being so excited that I would always try my best to help out, since I was a child after all. Now our sweet Mo (as we call her) has reached the title of "senior dog". So my care has adapted into a different approach now that she is older. So that has helped with gaining experience in handling older pups. I have also helped a friend with looking after her 4 chihuahuas for a couple of days while her and he husband went on vacation on multiple occasions. I can assure you, any and all pets will be safe and loved with me like they are my own! 🩷 Pet care fits into my daily schedule everyday. While everyone else in my household is working, they can rely on me taking care of the pets due to the amount of free time I have available. You can absolutely rely on me to be available any time you need! (unless otherwise but I will DEFINITELY make sure to communicate with you!) When it comes to potential clients, their pets safety will always be my #1 priority! I will follow any and all guidelines they have placed regarding the drop in/walking services. Thankfully, my cats are both indoor so I definitely have a handle on how to make sure they don’t sneak out. My dog typically just sleeps a majority of the day since she is a senior dog and I am aware that senior pets are usually more relaxed. But even so, with hyperactive pets I will still go with whatever routine is in place for them (via the owners instructions). I will also of course keep you up to date on how your babies are doing with photos and videos to show all of the fun we’re having! ☺️📸

“I have known Sunshine for 5 yrs and I can say she is a kind and considerate human being who not only cares for people but is also loving towards animals..”
15. Tanya E.
“Tanya was very good about communicating and taking care of my cats. She kept the food and litter areas super clean. She even went one step further and put out my garbage can when she noticed the neighbors had theirs out. Only minus was timing of her visits but I understood they would vary a bit due to her work schedule.”
