“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”
“Anna was amazing with my cat Squeakers. She was VERY communicative before arriving the first visit and after every visit. My cat only needed enrichment which can be boring for most but Anna spent the visit making sure my cat was the most loved.”
“Kristen has been a fantastic cat sitter for my older cat with specific health needs. She reliably follows detailed feeding instructions and administers necessary supplements without any issues. Highly responsible and trustworthy, Kristen ensures my cat is well cared for every time. Highly recommend her!”
“Karina is an excellent animal caretaker and highly responsive communicator! I had peace of mind that my two cats were being tended to and provided affection during my vacation. She also takes an abundance of great photos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Karina’s services.”
“Katie Our cat Charley received exceptional attention and care. Katie was prompt and conscientious with all she did and helped encourage our rescue to explore areas of the house he had been reluctant to visit and she gave him confidence to interact and play with her during her visits. Katie took care of some ancillary stuff like mail while she was here also. All in all Katie is tremendous and someone we hope to engage again in the future!”
“Marilin is an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond. My dog is a little scared of new people and she took time to do an additional meet and greet, made my dog feel comfortable and was a great communicator.”
About: I've had a dog in my home since I was 3 years old so I have plenty of experience and knowledge of how to properly care for them. I also have practice from walking my friends and neighbors dogs and cat sitting. I'm currently home from college for summer break so I have plenty of flexible time to care for your pets! I don't go back until September and I am available everyday of the week. I love to play with them, cuddle them, and make them happy. To care for them I feed them and walk them and make sure they are comfortable.
“Svetlana just spent the weekend with my new cat and I felt so safe leaving him with her. She understood that he was still adjusting to his new home and was so loving and kind to him. She kept me informed about his eating and activities and sent me wonderful pictures of him. She is highly responsible, communicative and a pleasure all around. I trust her completely. Thank you, Svetlana!”
“Morgan was responsive and kept us informed throughout her visits and was patient and kind with our cat. Morgan is trustworthy and goes the extra mile to make sure our needs were met.”
About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)
“Jackie was everything I could have asked for in a cat sitter. She was on time every time, she did her chores, and gave Larry extra love and attention. Larry is an old, grumpy cat but Jackie seemed to conquer him. I never worried while I was away because of Jackie’s professionalism and caring.”
