“Stephanie was amazing! The kitties loved her and it showed in the adorable pictures she captured and shared for us! She was extremely communicative and went out of her way to make sure everything was god with the furr babies! Thank you for making our vacation easier knowing they were in good hands!!”

“Suzete was great with my kitties. She hung out with them and gave them lots of attention. She gave regular updates and communicated well. Would highly recommend!”

“So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!”

“Amanda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away on vacation! She was communicative and sent great pictures of him every day. He was happy and well cared for when I got back. Would definitely ask Amanda to watch him again in the future!”

“Athena was great to work with! She was quick to respond to my last minute request. She met with us before our first visit to meet the us and the dogs, which really helped put us as ease. She is clearly great with dogs, easily bonding with our two stubborn frenchies almost instantly. Definitely looking forward to working with her again.”

“This is Sara's second time caring for my cat, and she was so thoughtful on the day that my cat was feeling antisocial and hiding, asking about his favorite hiding places and making sure that he was doing ok (he eventually resurfaced!)”

“She was a great sitter to my two kittens! Very attentive and thorough regarding their care. She was also very sweet and had great communication with me. I highly recommend to anybody looking for a cat sitter!”

“Second time working with Elena and once again, she was wonderful. I was at ease knowing Kitten would be well taken care of. I love the updates she provides as well! :)”

“Sophia took amazing care of my two kitties while I was away for a few days. Communication was easy, and Sophia was so kind and flexible with some last minute scheduling changes. I appreciated the detailed updates and sweet photos. Happily recommend and hope to have her back soon!”

About: I love spending time with and taking care of my friends’ pets whenever possible! I’ve been trusted to cat sit (drop ins with Benji or Tiki for a couple of days at a time) and dog sit (cared for little Teddy at my apartment for two weeks while his parents were away) for my friend’s furry little ones on several occasions. While I love having fun with the animals in my care, I will always prioritize their safety when I am with them. In addition to loving my friends’ pets, I spent a year nannying for families with dogs whose care I was entrusted with. I looked after (picked up from day care, walked, and fed) two golden retrievers (Kody and Bella) as well as 8 month old Vizla puppy, Yofi! Spending time with them was the highlight of my days and I can’t wait to have a pup in my own home. I’m a student and available early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I also have time during the day to drop in on your pet or take them out for a walk! I’m a student full-time but I have some time before, between, and after classes every day! My weekends are pretty free, they just require a little bit of extra planning to make adequate time for your pet. I will always follow your rules/routines while your pet is in my care, whether it is in my own home or at yours. I will always treat your pet the way I would want mine to be treated. I will also communicate as frequently/infrequently as you’d like, I make it a habit to keep pet owners up to date with our activities!
“Thomas provided superior daily cat sitting services for about 3 consecutive weeks, with both text and photo feedback of each visit. He even called me once when he found the refrigerator door suspiciously open, apparently done by a cat. From our initial meeting, he maintained clear, consistent communication with a friendly attitude. Would definitely hire him again!”

“This is the second time Nicole has checked in on my cats and she does a wonderful job! She is very attentive, which makes me feel so much more comfortable being away from my babies! Thank you so much Nicole!!”

“I booked Hanna last minute to dog sit our aussie Freckles and she was amazing! Super flexible, friendly, and great with our pup. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Weiwei took excellent care of our three cats. She was reliable and easy to coordinate with, and every visit she would send a ton of photos of her playing with the cats. It was very nice getting to see those photos while we were away. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Meredith was very friendly. My pup is getting up there in age and I was worried leaving her alone. Meredith touch based with me and sent me pictures every day which really put my mind at ease.”
