“Melanie was perfect for watching our cat Ollie! We missed Ollie a lot, but Melanie went above and beyond with updates and pictures to make us feel more than comfortable leaving him home. She also took care of our mail and plants and was highly responsive to any of our requests and questions. Ollie was very happy and loving when we got home, whereas in the past he was a little angry at us for leaving in the first place. Melanie must have made him much less lonely :) We will definitely rebook with her next time we need a sitter.”
“Rebecca did an awesome job doing drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away for a long weekend. We loved getting pics every day and all three were in great spirits when we got home.”
“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”
“Brian was fantastic! He stopped by each day to feed and play with our cat Piper and kept us updated with pictures and comments on how she was doing. It’s clear he genuinely loves and cares about pets and is highly recommended for any pet-sitting needs!”
“Ola was a wonderful cat sitter, especially for my older cat who requires special attention and insulin injections. She handled everything with great care and confidence. I truly appreciated her reliability and how comfortable she made me feel knowing my cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! :)”
About: I am a very active person. I love any excuse to run or walk outside, having an animal with me is a huge bonus. My roommate is allergic to dogs, so for now this will be the way to fill the void of not having a pet of my own. Therefore, I promise I will love your pet as if they were mine. Among some turtles and a frog or two, I grew up with three golden retrievers, and I was always the go-to person to watch any of my friend's/coworker's dogs and cats if they were away, ranging from just a couple days to two to three weeks at a time. I am very hardworking, trustworthy, kind, and I absolutely love any and all animals. I went from working in an office to now being remote, so I feel like I have ample time everyday and am always looking for a reason to get outside. My apartment building has a space outside for dogs to mingle and play. Otherwise, there is a park close by me that we can walk to.
“Paulina was very accommodating and patient with our fearful dog. She allowed us to go on our camping trip with the peace of mind that Milo was taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for both cats and dogs. Since I was a kid, animals have brought me joy, comfort, and a true sense of peace. I find happiness in being surrounded by nature and spending time with pets—it's not just relaxing, it's meaningful to me. I'm currently a college student, and in my free time, I love dedicating myself to helping others by offering reliable, caring pet sitting and dog walking services. Whether it’s a quick walk or keeping your pet company while you're away, I’m here to treat your furry family members like my own. I am a part time college student. I want to spend my free time taking care of your furry friend. What better way to spend a summer, than with our furry friends. I find joy and peace being in around animals and in nature, I will walk and bike trails but I find it more even more enjoyable when you have a furry companion with you :) I like to be very considerate and careful when in your home. I will treat it the way I would like my home to be treated. I would respect your home and your boundaries and I will care for your doggie or cat as if they were my own.
About: I am very patient with animals getting to know me and understand that not all cats will come out. I have practice with older cats and kittens. I used to have a dog of my own, and play with all of my friends dogs! I am usually availble early weekday mornings before work, and weekday nights after work. I am also available most weekends as long as I know in advance. I want to make sure the pets are comfortable and cared for when their humans aren't around. Fill food and water, scooping litter, playing (if they care for that), sitting around and patiently wait for them to approach me, basically make sure that the pets get what they need!
“Danielle is a wonderful cat sitter. She took such great care of my cats despite one having some special requirements, and I came home to find them both relaxed and happy. She also kept me updated on how they were doing and how she was spoiling them while I was away.”
“Julia was amazing with Charlie at the drop-in visit. My dog is timid and suffers from anxiety, Julie was patient with Charlie, allowing him to come around to her in his time. Charlie also made a mess in his crate chewing his mattress to pieces and Julia was kind enough to help pick up the mess for me. Thank you!!”
