“Brenda & Lily are the best cat sitters! They went above and beyond to care for our two cats while we were away. We looked forward to their daily report cards and they always included photos. We are so happy with the care they provided! Thank you Brenda & Lily! We will definitely book again! 🐈⬛”
“I can’t recommend Bonnie enough. She is responsive in advance of the visit; focused on the detail necessary to ensure she your pet’s routine is consistent while you are away; and she is generous with updates and photos while you are traveling. But most of all, Bonnie is the BEST because she truly loves animals. Bonnie spends the time and gives your pet(s) the attention necessary to make them feel loved in your absence!! I have two cats. Bonnie won Ollie over immediately. His sister, Vivi, is shy around new people. I always worried traveling but I don’t anymore. By day 3, I was getting photos and videos of Vivi playing, rolling over on her back, and being brushed and patted.”
“Neil was great! He was very attentive to our cats and they seemed very comfortable with him. He obviously has a lot of experience with a lot of different cats. Neil was also very communicative during our time away by sending photos of our cats while we were gone. Would absolutely hire him again :)”
“Betsy was great at communication as well as taking care of our two fur babies. It was very hot on the day she was sitting then and she had the initiative to give them a splash of water in their wet food, which was very appreciated!”
“Sabine was great. She took care of my big girl Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and you could tell she loves animals and that she new how to interact with cats. Suka came up to her and let her pet her on the meet and greet. I would hire Sabine again.”
“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.”
“Zika did a great job watching my cat! He provided me with a timely update as well as a variety of cute pics. I was very happy with the communication. I’ll definitely reach out again.”
“Eunae ALWAYS goes above and beyond!!! This was our 4th+ trip where she has looked after our cat Boo, and couldn’t ask for better care! She not only brings our cat’s favorite toys to play with and shares detailed updates about her visits, but she also was SO communicative and flexible when our lock box froze over in the cold!!! She brought boiling water to try and de-thaw the box, and sent me several updates along the way. I always know that Boo is in the best and safest hands with Eunae! 😃”
“Briana has been incredibly responsive, detailed, and on top of everything from the moment she received the request to the end of each visit. We were gone for a few days and experimenting with having someone drop-in, and she has left us feeling so at ease and connected to our cat, even while we're away! In addition to showering Sunny with cuddles and affection, she also sent us a complete report of each visit complete with pictures and a play-by-play of their time, which is such a nice thing to have when someone isn't there full time. She is kind, responsible, and one of the most on-top-of-it sitters I have had. 10/10!!”
“Sharon did a fantastic job cat sitting for our cat when we were out of town for about 10 days. She stopped by around the same time each day and was very reliable in feeding our cat, playing with him, changing his litter, topping off his water as needed, petting him, and making sure he had cat toys to keep him entertained (our cat loves mental stimulation!). Sharon also sent a cute picture of him each day (which we loved to get and brought a smile to our faces). She was also kind enough to bring in packages that arrived there we were unable to have held, which we appreciated greatly. She is a dependable and experienced cat sitter whom we would recommend to others too!”
“Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.”
“Jennifer looked after our 2 senior cats for a week, feeding & doing morning/evening oral medications. She was very reliable, kept the cats area clean & tidy & took such good care of them. We loved getting photos of them at every visit & reading the reports of what they were up to! Highly recommend Jennifer!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young. From training playful puppies to providing gentle care for seniors, I adapt my care style to meet each dog's unique needs. I am experienced in feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog needs an energetic play session or a calm, relaxing environment, I can provide customized care to ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I have a completely flexible schedule at the moment, so I’m available to care for your pets whenever you need! Whether it's weekdays or weekends, I can dedicate my time and attention to your pets for boarding, sitting, or walking. I live in a pet-friendly house with a back yard right next to a beautiful park, perfect for walks and playtime. Although I don’t have pets of my own, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment for your pets while they’re with me. Your furry friends will have plenty of space to relax or enjoy some outdoor time at the park!
About: While I've never owned a dog myself, my love of them has extended out to others. I have experience walking and helping care for dogs dating back to high school when I would help care for our family friends' dogs in the Summer. I was also a volunteer dog walker during my senior year of college, walking a then 8-month-old puppy in the Fall and an older Dachshund in the Spring. I have experience with both younger and older dogs, and am more than happy to help walk yours! I work a 9-5 with a hybrid work schedule requiring me to be in the office every other week. Weekends will tend to be the best days for me but I am flexible and can work with you for weekdays if necessary. I am someone who does not mind pets being around me at all times. I am always responsive to needs and will strive to make sure your pet is always happy.
About: I grew up with dogs in my household and I absolutely love to be around all types of animals. Ever since I have cared for various cats and dogs for friends and family and I absolutely love it! I currently work full time as a behavior technician and I am looking to care for pets in the evenings (between 5:30-10) on weeknights and anytime on the weekends. I can care for any sized dog and I will always follow your instructions thoroughly to keep your furry friends safe! Your lovely pet is always my first priority
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my life. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I know how to keep them happy and loved I work full time but have time in the mornings and evenings for walking. I’m also able to walk and pet sit on the weekends I can keep your dogs company and play with them and walk them. I know how to keep cats and dogs stimulated to get their energy out
“Jasmina was very attentive to my grumpy tortie, Lily. She updated me each visit she spent quality time with her while I was away. I was able to have a good time knowing little Lily was in good hands!! Will rebook.”
