“Andrea was wonderful! She had excellent communication and checked in every time on schedule. She also asked questions to make sure Charlie’s care exceeded expectations! I will definitely be keeping her in mind for the future!”


“Hilary was amazing!! She was very attentive to my fur baby and sent lots of photos and details! I am so happy I had her help when I was away. Would recommend her to anyone i know! I felt relived and knew my dog was in great hands! 10/10!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve petsat for neighbors, and I’m comfortable around all breeds. Growing up we always had big dogs (St. Bernards, bulldogs, and other large breeds) a few years ago we adopted my first small breed, a chihuahua named Moxley. I am currently working part time, but it’s overnight. I am available anytime from 9 am to 6 pm. I don’t drive, but I have a bike, and I can get anywhere in the city reliably. I love connecting with pets. Our dog Moxley was from a hoarding situation and it took a long time for him to start trusting people, the day he let me pick him up was one of the best days of my life. I have no problem walking, feeding, cleaning up after, or just spending time with anyone’s pet. I understand how important it is to trust the person that is looking after your pet, and I promise to do whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable while you’re away.

“Madison is the best! She's taken care of our cats twice, one of which was a 3 week trip. She provided detailed updates every day with great photos. Couldn't recommend her enough!”


“Elysse did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very communicative and sent frequent updates, including photos and sweet little notes about how my cat was doing. It was so reassuring to know he was in good hands.”



“Jen is my go-to cat sitter and I can’t say enough good words about her! I booked her for cat sitting (again) before checking her schedule. She was super kind to accept my request although she wasn’t planning to do any sitting during the time. She sent me photos, videos, and notes every day and I always enjoy chatting with her and getting updates about my kitties. My kitties aren’t the easiest to deal with but they both love Jen and Jen takes such good care of them.”


“Anna is awesome!! She came to give my cat injections for the past two weeks and I cannot expect somebody better than her! Patient, friendly, punctual! Definitely will turn to her if my cat needs care in the future!”


“I would highly recommend Nicole for your pet sitting needs! She took great care of my cat while I was away and left detailed updates so I knew he was in good hands.”


“Meg was wonderful with our two cats for two days. She went above and beyond and her communication skills were excellent. Communication is such an important skill when dealing with the specifics of two individual cats so we really appreciated that. Of course we will be working with her again in the future.”


“Hera was an excellent cat sitter for Hunter! She was communicative and responsive and I knew my little guy was in good hands with her. Also was wonderful to get the photos and updates while I was away!”


“Sarah was awesome - she was available for coverage during a holiday weekend and made time to play with the kitties. Great care for our pets and peace of mind while we were away!”


About: I am a lifelong lover of dogs, and currently own an almost 2-year-old mini bernedoodle. I have current experience with walking and caring for dogs during typical work hours (9-5). I take time to build trust not only with your pet, but also with you. I take the time to learn your pup’s unique personality and needs. I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! I currently work part-time and work in the late afternoons/evenings. This allows for plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs! I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I treat your pet like my own, treating them like family and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of time for exercise, playtime, and cuddles! Your space will remain tidy and secure under my care. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

“Very thorough and professional for my pup’s check in / walk! Thank you thank you thank you! Would highly recommend to others and 110% rebook when needed. Greatly appreciate it!”



“Robert helped us out when our friend couldn’t sit Leo for our two week trip out of the country anymore. I was worried about leaving my cat for so long, especially because cat-sitters are harder to find but Robert was amazing. He sent photos everyday and mentioned what things he did and how Leo was that day. He went over and beyond caring for our Persian, even wiping the gunk from his eyes and brushing his hair. Leo was happy when we came home and his litterbox/feeding area was clean. Robert knows how to follow directions and clearly has a love and passion for caring for pets. My partner and I are already discussing the next trips we want to take in the coming months because we are so happy to have someone who we trust to take care of our baby. We absolutely recommend Robert and will definitely be using his pet-sitting services again in the future. Thank you so much Robert!”
