“Eunae was fantastic! We received updates and pictures, was very responsive, and overall provided excellent care for our two cats while we were away. Highly recommend.”
About: We’ve always had a dog at home but I unfortunately cannot have a pet in my apartment. I miss the connection! I love playing with dogs and petting them. I occasionally pet sit my friends’ dogs and used to pet sit my neighbor’s Cocker (and their dozens of fish) when they were on vacation. I work from home so I can be flexible with my schedule. Depending on the distance, I’m happy to take care of your dog mid-day. It can be so lonely for them all day without a companion! I unfortunately can’t pet sit in my apartment. I always walk a dog on a leash and I’m careful with what food I give them.
“Jennifer was great at taking care of our senior kitties over a long weekend. She kept us updated on the cats, took some fab photos, and kept the house/cat area clean & tidy.”
“Anneke is kind and very tuned in to our cats and their different personalities. She gave them great care while we were away including giving medication. When our outdoor cat wouldn’t come in, she went back multiple times until she did! Highly recommend!”
“Betsy was a wonderful sitter, providing thoughtful updates and photos of my two cats while I was away. I’m extremely happy with her service and will definitely book again!”
“Zijia has been gentle and kind with our two cats. They can be skittish but Zijia has taken good care of them and they warmed up quickly. Zijia has been very communicative and responsive as well, and has helped to keep our litter robot working properly while we’re away. Our cats have asthma so I like to feel like the sitter can handle medications and emergencies, and even though we didn’t have any emergencies I felt very confident Zijia could handle it if we did.”
“Sharon does an amazing job taking care of my cat. She is very understanding, communicates proactively and is willing to handle special requests. Highly recommend!”
“Shawn did a great job and took very good care of our cats, including making sure on of them got her pills. She clearly cares a lot about cats and was very communicative, including lots of pictures.”
“Will is so consistent, conscientious, and caring whenever he takes care of my cat. The pictures he takes & sends me prove my cat has “taken to hi, and that she feels safe with him. He follows her regular routine and provides her extraordinary care. His visits, twice a day also offers me additional peace of mind, that he is watching over my house as well. I highly recommend Will as a competent, caring, responsible cat-sitter.”
About: I grew up owning dogs, cats, birds and fish. I’ve been caring for animals since I was in diapers! Also worked on a farm for years with many other animals. Got my own dog in my early 20’s and have been a pet owner ever since. I take the role seriously and have done a lot of education on training, diets and breed needs. My sister is also a Vet and I’ve learned so many things from her in regards to health and care of animals. I'm well experienced in dog training, and caring for senior or special needs animals. As well as administering medications. I'm a very active person that loves to be outside. I already take my own dog to the park all the time and for tons of walks or play time in my back yard. But I'm also happy to relax at home for any dogs that prefer that as well:) I have a fenced in yard for outdoor play. And I live within walking distance to 2 different dog parks (if that’s something you like). I walk a ton everyday so your pet can get lots of steps in. I own my own dog, and he loves friends! If I’m doing a pet stay they will always have a meet and great first to see if they wanna be buddies:)
“Very friendly with my bunny, allowing her to enjoy some quality time and open up! She’s a shy one and they’ve become quick pals. Priety is super responsive and pays attention to details!”
“MAX is our New Boston Terrier puppy, and as puppies are they need frequent meals and potty breaks. Lourdes did a fabulous job with Max's lunch and breaks . It was clear that Max loved being with Lourdes. She really came through to help us in a pinch. We got many pics /texts and he was in good hands!”
“Seiko was great again! We had her take care of our cat before and it was a no-brainer to ask her again. This time we had another newly adopted cat. Our two cats were still adjusting to each other so things were a little tricky but Seiko managed to keep them both happy and relaxed. She sent us detailed notes of how our cats were doing with many pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation fully knowing that our cats are very well taken care of. We will definitely ask her again and recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Helen did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Penny over the holidays! They spent lots of time playing and Penny looked very happy in all of the photos. We received updates from every visit and it was clear that Helen was taking good care of our pet. Would highly recommend!”

Charlotte was amazing! She took such great care of our kitties while we were away. We loved her photos and daily updates. She was super easy to communicate with and our nervous cat loved her! I highly recommend Charlotte and will definitely hire her again!
Betsy was great with our 2 cats! She was very easy to work with and gave us updates each day (we love seeing pics of our kitties). She followed our directions closely and even brought up our heavy packages of litter (which was not necessary at all)! Highly recommend and will rebook in the future :)
Will does such a great job checking in on our cat, Kevin, while we are away. He always sends the best pictures and provides a thorough report card! If you are nervous about leaving your pet while you’re out of town and are looking for someone to take care of your pet, Will is the perfect sitter. We will be booking Will again in the future.
