“Julie was fantastic! She was communicative and sent pictures and updates at every visit. Most importantly, she took amazing care of our sweet girl ? Julie understood that our cat is shy and would be nervous, and was so patient with her and gave her space. And our cat warmed up to her! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter, I wasn't worried about our girl at all this weekend.”

“Chelseigh was such a thoughtful sitter, and I could tell my cats loved her right away! She has a very special way with animals! I would definitely hire her again. :)”

About: Hello! My name is Ginger and, simply put, I love dogs and have been around them (all sizes and personalities!) all my life. I especially have a soft spot for senior dogs as I had one who was my right hand man and whole world for many years. I have so much love for him leftover and I hope I can channel that into caring for other dogs in our community. My experience with taking care of dogs includes all of the essentials: walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and of course, snuggling. If you're interested in my dog care services, please contact me! I would love to get to know you and your best friend! I work full time, so my availability for dog walking, drop in visits, and full-on dog sitting is just for weekends and some Fridays, but on those days I’m entirely available to look after, care for, and spoil your dog with my fully devoted attention and affection. Going away for a weekend day trip or even all weekend? Look no further — I’m your girl! From my own experience as a dog owner (and having a highly food motivated dog), I’m extremely careful making sure surroundings are dog-proof and I’m always extra vigilant on walks — I know all too well you need eyes everywhere.
About: My name is Jane and I have always loved spending time with animals! I grew up with a cat, and have a high energy dog at home so I know how to handle when it comes to fast & fun walks! I currently work full time, but I love spending my weekends with dogs! I’m available Saturday and Sunday, with flexible times throughout the day. Please reach out with any questions! I enjoy spending time outside and making sure each pet is getting the exercise and time needed to feel healthy and happy during the day!
“Mirabel is the VIP! She did an incredible job with my fearful cat while I was out of town for a week in the middle of invasive renovations to our apartment. Knowing she was looking after him gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Jordan IS a cat whisperer!! Our little boy 🐈⬛ is pretty spicy with new people, but he warmed to Jordan upon their first meeting without any issue. We are so grateful to have found someone that helps Naxos feel safe and comfortable when we are away; it gives us such peace of mind!”

“Anastasia was so great with our young puppy. We were a little anxious about leaving her for the first time, but this was an excellent experience. Definitely booking again!”

“Alexina was very responsive and took very good care of our cats! They had a few accidents while we were gone and she didn't hesitate to let me know & take care of cleaning it up (and throwing our bedding in the washing machine!). I wouldn't hesitate to book Alexina again.”

“Michael was great taking care of our difficult cat while we were away on vacation. He was very accommodating to her behavior and needs and I felt relaxed on my trip knowing she had someone caring looking over her. I would recommend him to anyone. He send pictures and updates everyday. Just great overall.”

“Nathan is super with Zipper, keeping him entertained and fed while we are away. He is also great at keeping us informed. We will be happy to have Nathan visit with Zipper again!”

“Second time working with Julia to care for my cat Raccoon while we are traveling. Julia again provided great care for my cat and made sure she has everything she needed. Thank you!”

“Jumped in the last minute to help us with a skittish cat. She was AMAZING. Totally dependable, thorough and helped us get our kitty to the vet and back without incident. Really appreciated her thoroughness. Couldn’t do better for a pet sitter / carer.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of varying sizes and love spending time with dogs! I enjoy taking walks and have experience walking many different dogs! I’m currently working part time and can visit during the day as well as on weekends as needed! I have a flexible schedule that allows space for walks for dogs! I can crate your dog if needed and have experience walking dogs of various sizes. I can play with your dogs or cats as well!
“Chloe is the best, she is so loving and kind to my kitties when I’m out of town. She goes the extra effort to make sure the cats are comfortable in the AC and even cleans up the projectile vomit from the top of the cabinets. Could not recommend her enough, she is everything you would want from a pet sitter!”

“Morgan and Meaghan were able to accommodate us last minute which is always so appreciated. They also took time to meet us before so we could ask questions and vice versa. Poe seemed to love her and the pictures were awesome. They were on time and left great details so I didn't have to worry about my boy at all. Would definitely have them back the next time and recommend to anyone!”

This was our first time leaving Lilou, and Meghan made the experience so easy and reassuring. Communication was smooth, she was always on time, and very reliable. After just a couple of days, she built trust with my furry one, which meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate her support, kindness, and understanding of how important this is. Thank you again!

Stacy took great care of our senior cat while we were away! We appreciated that she accommodated our fairly last minute request to watch our cat, even though we were new to her. She was super communicative and quick to respond, leaving informative notes on how our cat was doing, and followed all instructions to a T. We appreciated the peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for while we were away!

Can’t recommend Alexina highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my cat Draco and it was clear from the start that she genuinely understood his personality and needs. Her communication throughout was above and beyond with frequent updates and great photos. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely connects with your cat, and she did exactly that. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your cat like their own!
