“David was a great cat sitter for my two kitties! Always hard to leave my cats, but I felt peace of mind knowing David was on it. The hand off with key and instructions was easy, and he sent photos daily with an update on his visit. Also, my cats were very relaxed when I got home - like I never left! I will definitely be hiring David again.”

15. Gisela G.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds and bunnies. Friends and family have relied on me for the care of their pets for years. I have been dog sitting and house sitting for several friends with dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoyed it every time. I understand how difficult it could be to leave your loved pet with someone else, but I will make sure they feel loved and at peace until you come back. I work Monday throung Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. I am available to take care of your pups evenings/nights on weekdays and all day on weekends. I will maintain your pet's routine as much as possible making sure that they feel comfortable with someone new in their space. I will provide regular exercise and stimulation and familiarize myself with the needs of your fur baby.
16. Jessica M.
“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter. She sent lots of cute pics and videos, and is clearly an animal lover. My cats got lots of attention, and she was meticulous in following instructions. She showed up on time and went above and beyond, even bringing in a bunch of packages that showed up. I was able to enjoy vacation knowing my kitties were being well taken care of. Highly recommended!”
17. Anna S.
“Anna took such great care of Theo and gave him so much love. He’s a quirky dog and she listened to all of my concerned and made me feel at peace leaving him with her when I rarely leave him with anyone. Would hire her again in an instant!”
18. Mia T.
“Mia is an incredibly loving and responsible pet caregiver- not only to her own dog, max- but to all animals she interacts with. She formed a special connection with my little dog, who adores her. Mia grew up with dogs and has a strong instinct for care, she is both lighthearted and fun with animals but knows when to take their health and safety seriously.”
19. Anny H.
