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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!
