About: I have life long experience with pets, including kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have also fostered cats in the past. I have cared for senior animals with medical and behavioral conditions, and I will provide your fur baby with the love and attention they deserve. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I am able to go on walks or visit your baby during the work day so you can feel peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for. I am happy to come to your home to look after your pet, feed them, take them on a walk, play with them, cuddle, or just give them attention and love! Safety is a big priority to me, so I will ensure your pet is probably attended to.
“Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.”
“Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
“Tiffanie did an amazing job watching our cat Pekoe while we were away. Pekoe doesn't usually take well to new people, but she warmed up to Tiffanie right away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, made plenty of time to play with and give affection to Pekoe, and gave us regular and thorough updates with each visit. Would highly recommend Tiffanie as a trustworthy sitter and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Isabelle and Diego were fantastic sitters for my senior cat. They were both so warm, timely, and followed my instructions perfectly. Their updates included a lot of really great pictures, where it was obvious that my cat was happy and taken care of. Their written updates were informative and sweet- a relief when I’m away and missing my cat! I would certainly book them again.”
“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”
“Aimee has watched my puppy multiple times and she has always been great with her. She takes lots of pictures and keeps me updated the whole time. My schedule is always changing and she is very understanding of that and flexible with my hours.”
“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”
“Tyler was fantastic with my cat, Leia. She truly got the royal treatment. He not only made sure she got fed and watered, but made sure her dish was cleaned after every meal and that her litter robot was working. He also gave her lots of attention and pets, and I could tell she made a new friend. I appreciated the updates (which were very elaborate!) and pictures too. I will definitely use Tyler again to take care of “her majesty””
“Stacy was so good with my doggies! She went above and beyond to communicate what was happening while I was away and sent many pictures. I would 100% have Stacy dog sit for me again next time I travel.”
“Thao was incredible. Super communicative and super loving towards our senior dog. We never had any doubt that he was being well cared for. Will definitely use her again at any opportunity!”
“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”
“Aly has consistently showed up for us when we need her most! She treats our pup well and is thorough in her reports for how our dog is doing. We appreciate her so much & recommend highly!”
“Maggie is thorough, conscientious, and a great communicator! I looked forward to her updates about my pet during my trip, and feel confident leaving him in her hands again when the time comes! Very grateful for her services!”
“I will use Maria literally every time it works with our schedules! She takes the best care of my cat (who is sometimes a monster) and rolls with the craziness with an awesome attitude. Huge thanks to Maria!”
“Extremely well thought out care provided to my pets! Went out of her way to meet me and the cats before the visit and took extra care of each aspect of my pets’ needs. Very kind sitter and will be checking back in :)”
“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”

Guiselle took a great care of my cat Hummer during her drop in visits. She kept me updated with photos and messages which gave me peace of mind. Guiselle had an instant connection with Hummer and he clearly enjoyed her company. I will happily book with Guiselle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Deniz was very attentive and great with the cats. She sent amazing updates each day about her visits with them and sent lots of pictures and videos!
