“Paityn did an amazing job of dropping by my house to check on my cat while I was out of town. She was very responsive and gave great updates with each visit.”


“Thank you for taking care of my three cats!! They took care of my diabetic cat along with his sisters while we were away overnight. Cats were well taken care of and I got lots of pictures!”


“Maecen was absolutely amazing! She came over to meet my 2 fur-babies prior to officially booking and we discussed their care plan. During her visits, she was very communicative, sent detailed descriptions of her visit, and sent plenty of pictures!”


“Ashley has quickly become our go-to pet sitter! She is very responsive to messages and great with our pets. We really appreciate the detailed report cards and photos. We can’t recommend her enough!”


“Danielle was great with my very young kitten, Ranger! This was my first time getting a sitter for Ranger and I felt so much better knowing Danielle was there playing with her and sending such cute pics! I would definitely work with Danielle again.”


“Sam was the absolute best with our two kitties. Our little guy is somewhat shy around new people and he warmed right up to her within the first couple of visits. She kept us up to date with a bunch of pictures daily and that really kept me at ease. Looking forward to using her again when we travel!”


“Alyssa was great with our kitty, who is normally very shy with new people but came out just about every day to spend time with her and pose for pictures. In addition, Alyssa took our garbage cans out for pickup on collection days and even vacuumed the cat's room the day we returned from our trip. She's now at the top of our list for rebooking!”


“Emily is an amazing being, and our Babiez have gotten very acquainted with her over the past several months. Emily is incredibly reliable, friendly, calm, and extremely helpful. She gives us such peace of mind knowing that our Babiez are well taken cared of, fed, playtime is had, and medicines are administered. We are going to miss you, Emily (we are moving). Mahalo for being so awesome!”


“Helena was absolutely AMAZING with my kitty, Leo! She was prompt, on time, and responsive to communications. She always took great pictures and she took such good care of my fur kid. I recommend her fully and will use her anytime that I will be out of town or working overnight. Helena was excellent with my cat while away, and anyone that utilizes her pet sitting services will be pleased.”


“Thanks for your tender care of my fur baby”


“I’m so happy my dog is well taken care of and is at ease when he sees Alexandra!! She sends pictures and ensures my dog is given plenty of time outside. Will be using again and again for all our drop in and overnight needs.”


“Bethany took excellent care of my kitties, even despite their particular feeding schedule. I will definitely book her to care for them again in the future.”


About: Looking back on my childhood, it felt like a zoo (but in the most magical way). I sometimes can’t believe that my parents allowed guinea pigs, rats, mice, fish, hermit crabs, rabbits, and dogs into our home (not all at once though!). If I could do it again, I think I would have skipped out on the mice. I don’t recommend having mice with 24/7 access to an exercise wheel right next to your bed. Nighttime was fun. Anyways, we have one cat still with us (she’s 16 years) and she’s exactly how you would typically imagine a cat to be- solitary, feisty, and grumpy. We still love her, despite hardly ever seeing her. My kids (ages 4-12) and I are excited to take care of your dog(s)! Thank you for considering us! I have been a SAHM (stay at home mom) for almost 12 years. You can guarantee that between myself and my five children, your dog(s) will experience a lot of love and affection while you’re away! We love taking dogs for walks up and down our quiet street. My seven year old especially loves every time they go number two because that means he can use one of those doggie poo bags to pick it up. For some reason he thinks it’s the coolest thing. I hope he continues to feel that way for a very long time. I do not have a fenced in back yard, BUT it’s plenty big, and we enjoy showing and walking dogs all around our back yard (all while on a leash of course- unless you specify otherwise!) We also have plenty of spots in our home to set up crate(s) if needed. We look forward to caring for your sweet dog(s)!

About: Like many, I've lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I was responsible for my own cat at 14 and my own dog at 17 including all the chores that came with it. Nowadays, I care for small humans along with my pets and enjoy occupying my time providing pet owner's with the assistance they need in their home. What better way to spend the day while the kids are in school? My kids are all in school so my schedule is fairly flexible, I just have to do school pick up and drop off. I'm mostly available weekday mornings and evenings, as well as all weekend. I am military so I have access to both Langley and Eustis for my military families. I am currently only offering pet care outside of my home. I have the time and patience to truly pay attention to your pet and give them some love. I have no reason to rush through and leave before your pet has truly had a chance to experience some companionship while you’re away. Just because a pet is staying in your home, I still believe they need more than food and potty breaks.

“Logan is wonderful and took great care of my cats Dexter and Zera. She always keeps me updated, has a great personality and is very attentive. I know who I’m rebooking the next time I travel:)”


“Michelle is wonderful! We were initially nervous to leave our two cats while we traveled for a few days, but Michelle’s great communication made us feel that our cats were being well taken care of. She kept both cats happy and took care of everything we asked (e.g., water, litter, playtime).”


“Christy is absolutely capable and confident with dogs. My dog is very shy and nervous and was just getting to know Christy when we had contractors come to work on the outside of the house unexpectedly. Christy took care of everything during the drop in despite the chaos in the yard. She made sure our dog was as comfortable as possible and safe while she took her outside. It was a huge relief to have Christy to navigate the situation so perfectly in my absence.”


“Sara did a great job caring for our cat. She sent multiple (and very cute) pictures every day. It was obvious our cat liked her very much. We were gone several weeks in August so we asked Sara if she would do some outside watering. The yard looked amazing. We were very happy and would highly recommend her to others.”


“Katherine took great care of my cats while we were away. She always sent pictures and updates in a timely manner, which was very nice to have. Would highly recommend!”


About: i've taken care of dogs since I was 11 and I've had a cat for almost ten years now. I love spending time with all breeds! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with, take care of, and love on your fur babies. I'll take care of your animals whichever way you see fit. I have a fenced in back yard and will crate them if you see fit.

“Hello,my name is Teresa Joyner,I fell and broke my back February 9th. I reached out to my friend Trenton Lyles to see if he could help me walk my 3 dogs,and he graciosly agreed to help me. I have 2 pit bulls ,Angel and Nala,and a hound dog Freddie. They all feel in love with Trent. He NEVER missed a day in over 2 months, always on time,and went over and beyond in helping me during my recovery. He would go to the grocery store for me, bring in my chewy.com orders due to me not being able to lift heavy objects,the list just goes on and on. I highly recommend this young man. He is an animal lover and excelled at every task asked of him.”
