“Maria was such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were gone. She put me at ease, was super organized and routine with her visits, provided ample pictures and notes, and was a genuinely lovely person who I felt I could trust immediately. My cat was so comfortable with her. I will certainly use her again!”
“I chose Aimee based on her reviews: I was nervous about leaving my three senior cats (one is special needs) for a few days and told Aimee. She helped relieve my anxiety by sending me her detailed notes and photos from each visit. I am so pleased with Aimee’s excellent care of my cats.”
“Andrew was great! He was very communicative with us about our cats and sent pictures during every check in. I am so glad our babies were well taken care of and know that your fur babies are in great hands with Andrew.”
“Iryna was a wonderful sitter for my cat. She was very communicative and thorough. Maybe even more impressive, she engaged with my demanding, geriatric cat during her visits, getting her to play a little each day. My cat approved of her as well, eventually bestowing the great honor of letting Iryna pet her.”
“We reached out to Tara again for a last minute drop in as we were at all day events this whole weekend. Tara was very flexible in checking in on our little guy we totally recommend!”
“Mei was wonderful and punctual with my kitten and 4 year old kitty - i really appreciated all her help for their first extended period of time alone together without me there!”
“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”
“Simone did a great job with my dog Lily and my two kittens!! She took lots of photos and videos, my pets looked very happy! She also had some great notes and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for care!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats from a young age and have also been a loving dog mom to many boxers! I’ve moved far from home and have been missing my dogs, I am excited to watch and care for any dogs or cats in the area, promising to take good care of them and make sure they feel loved! I currently work full time during the week but I am available evenings during the week and any time on weekends for walks and to play with your pets! During the weekdays I am available after 4pm. I have a long history of walking and caring for dogs. When caring for dogs or cats in your home or when taking them on walks I will be sure to take precautions in order to keep your pets safe and happy.
“Diego was wonderful to work with and my kitty really loved his visits! He was warm and had a natural rapport with my pet. Each day we got a photo of her, and when we returned home, she was as happy as ever (which for her is rare, after we have been away!). Our cat is older and takes medication with her food, and Diego did a great job making sure she ate it up! Thank you!”
“Jackie is SO SO great. This is our second time booking with her and she really does take the best care of our orange menace kitty. She gives amazing updates, makes sure that our boy is settled before she leaves and sends awesome pictures. Would rebook 100x!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have raised mine from puppies. I’ve also happily walked, house-sat for, and boarded friends’ dogs in times when I didn’t have one of my own. I’m planning a career transition and will be working on a personal creative project, so I will have a flexible schedule to respond to pet parents’ needs during busy work days. Regular walks are important for a happy and healthy pup! When I walk my own dog, I follow routes that will keep us both safe and am always careful in any interactions with other dogs, especially if we don’t know them. I’d do the same for your pet and abide by any specific instructions you might have!
“Aly is great! She dropped in to care for my cat for several days during the holidays. She took great care of her during that time, following all the instructions we discussed, and providing thoughtful details and wonderful pictures of the visits. Definitely recommended.”
“Carli is a wonderful cat sitter and my kitties love playing with her. She is great with updating me on her time with them, amazing communication and trust her when I’m away with my furry babies. Thank you for all your help!”
“McKenna was amazing with Goose and Roo! We came back to tired, content puppies. McKenna was great with sending regular updates and pictures. We definitely plan to have her watch the dogs again next time we’re out of town!”
