Bridget was wonderful with our shy, asthmatic cat! She's a kind and communicative sitter, and our cat warmed right up. Bridget was able to give Bean her daily inhaler and was quick to identify when she needed her emergency inhaler. We would absolutely book Bridget again!

Lana clearly loves animals and spoiled my older cat with lots of love and care. We used her for a week and a long holiday weekend and Lana was very reliable.

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.

Laci made my trip home so much easier with peace of mind for my pets. She met with my fur babies and she listened to everything I had said about Cheryl with her allergies and Reynolds being a playful boy. She took care of any small issues, cleaned the litter and took photos of them. I will definitely rehire her. 100% excellent

Vanessa and Jeremy were absolutely amazing with Milo! From the moment we met them, I felt completely at ease knowing he’d be in great hands. They treated him like family, sending thoughtful updates, photos, and making sure he got plenty of love and playtime. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch. Milo came home happy, calm, and well cared for. I can’t thank them enough for giving him such a warm and loving stay. I’m so happy to have found them. Thank you guys once again.

This was our first vaction in a very long time, and we were hesitant about leaving our three cats (Benny, Sissy & Willow) home alone. (Boarding them outside the home was not an option). We read reviews and decided to contact Anastasia (Ana). She came to our home, and after our meeting we were confident than Ana would be a great choice for caring for our three rascals. She reviewed our instructions and scheduled visit requirements and sent pictures of her daily visits which included feeding and litter box hygiene. We all laughed knowing that they would scatter when a "stranger" came into our home. We dubbed them "the ghost cats." Bur seriously, Ana made our vacation more restful knowing our kitties were being cared for by a responsible person who loves cats. We wouldn't hesitate for a minute, the next time we plan a vacation, to ask Ana to be our cat-sitter again. Thank you, Ana!

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!

Sheila took wonderful care of our cats for a little over two weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly meticulous, genuinely loves animals, and went above and beyond what was required to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also kept an eye on our home and alerted us to a water leak in time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing both our cats and our home were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommended.

Ethan was fantastic watching my two cats while my family was on vacation. He fed them, cleaned out the litter box, and cleaned up the messes that one cat left on the floor in protest of us being away. Ethan was responsible, communicative, and trustworthy. I would use him again and would highly recommend him to others.

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!
