“Siqin did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation!! Sent many different pictures and videos updating me so I had peace of mind that he was doing well while I was away. She also went above and beyond and cleaned his food mat and left a very cute picture of him for when I got back. Will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend you do too”


“I’m a new cat owner and have never left my cat alone or had anyone in my home for drop in visits so I was real nervous about leaving him alone for a few days. Anne was AMAZING! She gave great reports and pics while I was away and gave my Chewy the love and attention he was missing from us!”


“Amy did a great job at taking care of my kitties and providing updates during my trip, they were in very good hands :) Would definitely book again!”


“We were very pleased with the service Jill provided for our kitties while we were away visiting with family for a few days before the holidays. She was nicely quick, professional and responsive when contacting her and providing her service.”


About: Proud dog mom, cat aunt, and all-around animal lover here excited to spend time walking, playing with, and loving your pets. I know how important it is to feel your fur baby is happy and cared for while you’re away, and I’d love to help with that. My partner and I adopted our pup at 8 weeks old about 4 years ago, so I totally get those wild puppy days (and sharp little teeth!). I’ve also watched friends dogs and spent weeks at a time cat sitting for my sister over the years and loving getting to learn their little personalities and form bonds with them. I’d love to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while we’re together. I’m just getting started here and would be happy to learn about your pet’s needs and can be flexible with scheduling as needed. I am not currently working and can adjust to your pets schedule as needed. Trust and safety are my top priority wherever I am! My place has a fenced in yard, but my dog can be reactive and is not cat friendly. If you’d like to have your dog stay with me, I’d prefer to do a slow introduction with them before a long stay. When I’m at your place, I will care for it as my own. Before our first walk, I’d love to learn as much about your pet’s needs as possible to ensure I’m providing the best care while you’re away!

“Yan was great with our fur babies. She was very responsive and provided tons of pictures and kept up with us all day. She was loving and affectionate towards our cats, and very kind overall. She has a good amount of space for the cats to roam, and we can’t wait to rebook with her!”


“Alison has been a fantastic sitter for my two cats. She was great at communicating, understanding their needs and updating me on how they were doing. I could feel relaxed on vacation knowing she would take great care of them. Absolutely recommend her!”

“Saana cat/house sat my shy cat Ping Pong for 3-4 days and he really got out of his shell around her! She quickly got him comfortable enough to approach and play, and by the end was able to pet and take him onto and bring him back from my fenced/enclosed patio! Saana is very good at communication and sent very detailed text, photo, and video updates throughout the housesitting. I will definitely prioritize booking Saana whenever I need a catsitter again!”

Jennifer M.
“Jenny is our Go To petsitter, whenever we are picking dates for a trip we always check to make sure she's available first before finalizing our plans. She has been so great with our needy cat, senior dog, and rambunctious puppy - it can be a difficult trio for any petsitter. Our ring camera picked up hours of fetch where she wore out the puppy and she even sent us the most beautiful photos of our babies - I had one mounted on a canvas and is hanging in our dining room.”
