“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”
“Sam took great care of my 2 senior dogs. She came exactly as we arranged and was very communicative. Would ask Sam to take care of my dogs again without hesitation. Thanks Sam!”
“Kristen has been a fantastic cat sitter for my older cat with specific health needs. She reliably follows detailed feeding instructions and administers necessary supplements without any issues. Highly responsible and trustworthy, Kristen ensures my cat is well cared for every time. Highly recommend her!”
“Another excellent booking with Anastasia! She is punctual and always sends nice pics/updates of my cat. Everything was in order when I came back. Highly recommend and would be happy to book again!”
“Karina is an excellent animal caretaker and highly responsive communicator! I had peace of mind that my two cats were being tended to and provided affection during my vacation. She also takes an abundance of great photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Karina’s services.”
About: I've had a dog in my home since I was 3 years old so I have plenty of experience and knowledge of how to properly care for them. I also have practice from walking my friends and neighbors dogs and cat sitting. I'm currently home from college for summer break so I have plenty of flexible time to care for your pets! I don't go back until September and I am available everyday of the week. I love to play with them, cuddle them, and make them happy. To care for them I feed them and walk them and make sure they are comfortable.
“Ryan was super! He has excellent communication skills and maintained regular contact and updates. Our cat was happy, healthy and all things in good shape. I'd definitely book him again!”
“Linda is AMAZING! I was very nervous about leaving our cat alone for the weekend and the care and time she spends with our spunky little guy immediately eased my mind. We appreciate Linda’s care of little Arlo and will continue to ask her to watch him when we are out of town!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Vanessa and Justin provided for our cat, Simon, while we were away for three weeks. From the start, they were incredibly thoughtful and attentive. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates and FaceTime calls—they really helped put our minds at ease, especially since Simon is an older cat. Vanessa and Justin went above and beyond. They played with him, brushed him, and gave him all the love and attention he’s used to at home. Honestly, we’re not sure he even wanted to come back—he was exceptionally cared for and clearly formed a bond with them. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind they gave us while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much!”
“Jackie was super nice and reliable. Sent us daily updates about our cat making the kids happy to see pics of him even while we were away. Would definitely recommend and will plan on working with her for future trips as well.”
“Svetlana is amazing! She was very responsive in our communication from the start and my cat liked her instantly. I feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She knows a lot about cats, which has been very helpful to me. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog enthusiast, having grown up with my adorable Schnauzer, Candy, and my lively Siberian Husky, Jody. Right now, I can't have pets of my own, but I'm as passionate as ever about spending time with dogs. I've celebrated countless special moments with Candy and gone on endless adventures with Jody, which taught me so much about what it takes to keep a dog happy and healthy. I might be new to professional dog sitting since I have just volunteered in shelters for about one year, but I've got a natural knack for making furry friends feel loved and secure when their humans are away. I'm really looking forward to meeting your dog and making sure we have a ton of fun together, just like I did with my own pups! During the weekdays, I teach in high school from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, but I'm available for evening walks and potty breaks right after school. I understand the importance of sticking to a routine, so I can ensure your dog gets the evening exercise and attention they need during the week. On weekends, my schedule is completely open, allowing me to provide full-time care filled with love, play, and all the cuddles your pets can handle! Whether it's weekday evenings or any time over the weekend, I'm dedicated to fitting into your pet's routine, ensuring they feel happy and cared for every day. I prioritize maintaining their routine to ensure comfort. I provide regular updates, manage feeding, walking, and playtime, and ensure the home remains secure and tidy.
“Gabriella provided drop-in cat visits while my family was away on vacation. She provide food/water, cleaned the litter boxes, and cleaned up a mess that my cat made while we were away. Gabriella is very professional and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals in all shapes and sizes! I’ve always loved taking care of my family and friends’ animals (despite feeling like I’m cheating on my Portuguese water dog at home). If you need a reliable caretaker, I’m always willing to help! I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of free time on my hands! Weekends are typically difficult for me with another job but I’m available any day during the week. Mondays and Wednesdays after 3pm work best for me and any times on Tuesdays Thursdays and early Fridays. I prefer taking care of pets at the clients home as I have pets of my own at my house. I love long walks and will be very accommodating to what the client prefers!
About: I’ve had many pets growing up and I have always loved being around them! I have experience with dogs and cats from all ages, breeds and sizes. I have an open schedule, so anytime within my time frame works perfectly! During the week and weekend, anytime from 11-8 is ideal for me! I have a fenced in home, so that makes bathroom time easy. I also have experience with having dogs that have a non fenced in yard. I am a very gentle and patient person, so caring for dogs that may be high energy is no problem!

Madi and Abby were amazing! Our two young cats were so comfortable around Abby and that shows how great she was with them! She followed all instructions, sent tons of pictures that made us so happy while away, and even was extremely patient and communicative during a situation where our electric front door locked wouldn’t open! Would absolutely recommend and book again! So happy we found them!
Best experience ever ❤️ Karina was wonderful with my sensitive little cat. She was gentle, caring, and very responsible. She always replied quickly, answered all my questions, and sent plenty of sweet photos. So kind and thoughtful. I felt completely at ease the whole time. ❤️ I’ll book her again!
Ryan recently did drop in feedings for my cat Santi but when Santi unexpectedly had to be taken to the vet, Ryan stepped up. Ryan took the cat to the vet, picked him back up, and administered medication confidently and accurately. Ryan went beyond the call of duty keeping us informed and making sure Santi was comfortable. We were confident that Santi was well-cared for.
I can't tell you enough how much we appreciate the phenomenal job Joanne does for our kitties. We never have to worry about them while we are away. She gives us a daily update with photos. Our little girl i can tell from the photos absolutely loves her. Thank you Joanne. You are the best!
