Orianne provided care for my cat for the first time last week while I was out of town. I appreciated that she responded to my request sort of last minute. She was on-time and provided all the services I requested for each visit. She immediately reported an issue when it happened and it was quickly resolved. I would highly recommend Orianne for pet care.

About: I had my dog for 11 years of my life, until she recently passed. I’ve also cared for my neighbors cat for two years. While I miss my pet, I would find so much joy in caring for yours! I’m currently home for the summer from college, and I have a very free summer! I am super flexible and can care for your fur babies whenever you need! I have a fenced yard, and when I am out of my house the pet would be safely confined to one room and made as comfortable as possible. I am fully comfortable walking your dog as needed, and having play time!

About: Loving animals has been a core personality trait of mine for my entire life. I majored in bio-veterinary medicine in college and during that time worked as a vet tech. I have worked with just about every kind of animal (seriously, I’ve been a farm hand, a zookeeper, and a sea turtle rehabilitator) and feel very comfortable with all ages. From the teeniest puppy to the sweetest senior, I love them all! I work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule to your pet’s preferred schedule. If you are looking for someone to keep your favorite family member company at home, I’m also happy to work from there as well. I strongly believe in following house rules as pertains to your pet. If they get a little snack in the middle of the day, I can give them one. If they need to be crated after a walk, I can crate them. I know that every animal has their own personality and requires their own level of patience and attention. Before taking on a client I am sure to understand each animal’s needs. If they are not dog-friendly, kid-friendly, squirrel-friendly, I’ll want to know so I can cater my time with them accordingly.

Tasneem was the perfect sitter! Since we hadn’t met before, we did a meet and greet before the stay, which was an extra step I really appreciated. She was very communicative setting up the meeting, and when I sent care instructions shortly before my stay. Each time she checked on my cat Klaus, Tasneem wrote a nice report and took tons of pictures. I could tell from all the updates that Klaus warmed up to her quickly, and that she was taking great care of him. I was able to relax on my week-long trip knowing she’d be there consistently! I would absolutely book with Tasneem again, and I’d strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable sitter!

Tiffanie was extremely attentive and thorough in her care of Moxie. She shared detailed reports, plenty of pictures, and cleaned up hairballs. Our cat took to her immediately, greeting her at the door both days and seemed to really love pets and cuddles with Tiffanie. Tiffanie was so prompt in communication with booking and made the entire process from request to visit seamless and easy. I'd absolutely have Tiffanie catsit again!

This is my third time booking Maha and each time has been wonderful. Maha is attentive, going above and beyond to give them care and handling tasks like bringing in packages and scooping the litter regularly. I can tell that my kitties have been so well cared for each time I come home. When I say I plan to rebook, I fully mean it and I highly recommend her next time your fur-babies need care!

I had an excellent experience with Zoey and would absolutely book with her again. Before my trip, she took the time to come to my apartment to meet my cats, get familiar with their routines, and make sure she understood all of the care instructions. That gave me a lot of confidence before leaving. During every drop-in visit, she sent detailed updates along with plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind and let me know my cats were doing well. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being and paid attention to how they were behaving each day. She also went above and beyond by keeping everything clean, taking care of the litter boxes, and tidying up after my cats during her visits. When I returned home, my cats were happy, well cared for, and my apartment was just as clean as I had left it. I highly recommend Zoey to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. She made traveling completely stress-free, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Sam did an awesome job of taking care of Teddy for over 2 weeks. Teddy was our new rescue and we were a bit nervous leaving him since he is still a bit skittish. This was also our first time using Sam. But the daily love-fest of photos put us at ease right away. We got to see Teddy was receiving the best of care and loving. When we got home, it was evident that Teddy was the happiest we’ve ever seen him. Thank you Samantha! ❤️
