Who it’s for

For trips when your pets stay home

A weekend away, a week’s vacation, or a last-minute trip. I stay overnight in your home, so your pets keep their own beds, their own food and their usual routine.

What happens while you’re away

I follow your pets’ usual routine, morning and evening, the way you’d do it yourself.

What I do each day
Meals and fresh water on their normal schedule
Walks, potty breaks, litter and playtime
Messages and photos, so you know how they’re doing
When you get home

What you come home to

A relaxed pet who kept their routine, and a home that’s how you left it. Here’s how one client put it.

She not only took care of the cats, but she also had an amazing respect for my home and my things.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. She house sat and cared for my 7 month old puppy and 14 year old senior dog so well.

She updated me not only whenever she was coming and going but when and how much he was eating so there is no doubt in my mind that she spent a great deal of time at my house with my cat.
