“Qinyun asked all the right questions about caring for my cat and apartment when she came to meet her before I went out of town. My cat looked as happy and comfortable as could be in all of the pictures, which she was when I got back from vacation!”


“Danielle took such good care of my kitty! Generally my cat is quite shy and scared of people, but Danielle worked her magic! Showed a lot of love while I was gone and went above and beyond!! I would definitely recommend leaving your furry loved ones with her and will be reaching out to her again the future!”

“Yeri was absolutely wonderful while checking in on my cat, Maxine, during my four-day trip. She was incredibly kind, respectful of my space, and kept me updated with great photos and thoughtful report cards after each visit. Her communication was consistent and reassuring, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. Maxine seemed happy and well cared for, and I could tell she was in good hands. I would definitely rebook Yeri and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.”


“Yifan took great care of the cats while I was away shortly. She paid a visit beforehand to greet the cats and get to know the environment. She spent a lot of time playing with the cats and sending updates. She also checked on the well-being of the cats and shared her concerns. I would definitely recomment Yifan to anyone who is looking for a caring and responsible cat carer!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them comes naturally to me. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I treat every dog like they’re my own. You can count on me to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! I currently work from home so have plenty of time to care for pups, especially going on walks and tending to their feeding needs and being present with them. I ensure to always know the different areas and points of exit to prevent any slips, and always maintain an eye on the pup for any activity they do!

About: I’ve had dogs, my whole life from puppy to elderly life. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a broad range of skills. As a dog owner myself, I am responsible, energetic, and take all the precautions necessary. I know how to read body language on dogs, so I tend to always be on the safe side. I love senior dogs & can also tend to those needs. I have Friday’s off so I am only free Friday through Sunday (6am-11pm). Anytime during the week would have to be after 6pm for check-ins or walks. I have a dog park in my apartment home and live in a safe neighborhood. I do not let dogs free roam or off-leash unless I know the park is empty. No matter how trained your dog is, I am also aware of other dogs around that may not be so well trained!

About: Hello, my name is Mira and I am graduate student studying Sports Performance Psychology. I am a retired athlete that still lives an active lifestyle and I would love to play with your dogs! Caring for dogs is really fun and is a stress reliever for me! I understand that caring for dogs is a big responsibility and I am up for the challenge! I used to have a dog at my parents home that I used to care for regularly which gives me experience while caring for your furry friends! I have experience with raising puppies as well. I am very excited about this opportunity, and hope you will choose me to care for your pups!! I use dog walking as a fun activity and 2nd source of income. I’m a basketball coach and graduate student. I’m mostly available early mornings and afternoons. I check the app frequently for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stay. I treat them as if they’re my own. I also try not to disrupt their daily routine so I abide by the parents rules closely.

Sam was an amazing cat sitter for my two kitties (1-year old brothers)! One of the cats needed a pill every day & Sam was totally great with that too. Sam is super responsible and really nice and also takes fantastic cat photos to look at while you’re away :)

Nina & Leo were incredible care-takers of our cats. We hired them to stop by every morning to check on them and their food and water. They went above and beyond by not only sending pictures and videos of our cats, but also of the food, water and litter box. In addition, they alerted me to a gate that I left open and were immediately responsive to my questions. I will absolutely hire them again!!!!!

Anastassi was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Bishu, while we were away. She did drop-in visits and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really helped us feel at ease. She even made time to meet us beforehand, and it was clear right away that she’s both sweet and trustworthy. It’s always a little nerve-racking giving someone access to your home, but Anastassi made us completely comfortable and took great care of Bishu. He even looked excited to see her and played with her during visits.! We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Paula cared for our kitty like she was her own. She has a special way with cats as our normally somewhat shy kitty let her pet and hold her. Our home was also in perfect shape when we returned from our trip and we appreciated this too. We highly recommend Paula and thank her again for everything.
