“Priscilla was fantastic! She did drop-in visits at my home for Bluey and Star, and everything went perfectly. Communication was easy and I felt completely at ease while I was away. When I returned, both cats were content and happy, which says a lot. Priscilla ensured they got their wet food and checked that everything was okay in the apartment. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”
“Linn was super accommodating, friendly, and caring towards both my cat Oreo and myself! I could tell my cat Oreo felt safe with her. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Nataliia took great care of our cat Abbey, she has a calm demeanour and gave our cat the company she needed while we were away. Will definitely have Nataliia back again!”
“Really appreciate Madison’s care for our puppy. Communication was clear and easy, and Orson was clearly in experienced, caring hands. I have no reservations recommending Madison!”
“Klara pet sat my cat goose for a couple days. Our trip even got cut short and she was on standby just incase I was delayed. From the moment we met her we knew she was the one for the job. She was caring, thoughtful and had excellent communication. The daily reports were detailed with photo and videos to accompany. It was so great to know and see how happy my fur ball was during their visits. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa is very professional and sweet. My dogs love her they were cared with love and I was updated with everything that she did with with them. Next time I will need a sitter I will not think twice to book her again! :)”
“Thank you, Danica! From the start, Danica was responsive and easy to communicate with. She set up a meet and greet to meet my animals ahead of time and ensure things would be a good fit. Danica has a calming, safe presence and my animals felt at ease around her. She is highly reliable, kind, considerate and truly made me feel like my animals were with a family member. I will absolutely reach out to her as my first choice should I require animal care in the future :-)”
“Lyvnia was amazing with our two energetic dogs! You could tell right away that our dogs liked her and from the pictures it seemed like they had a great time! She was also respectful of our house and showed up on time! We will definitely look to rebook with her again :)”
About: I've lived with pets since I was born. As soon as I could walk, I was eager to help take care of them: clean the cats’ litter boxes, walk the dog, feed them, change the water, and of course, play with them. As I grew older, so did our dog. In his old age, Archie needed slower, more frequent walks, more attention, different diet and feeding schedule - I was always there for him. That’s how I first learned to care for old dogs as well. I miss him dearly. Nowadays, I live with a cat! He's a very sweet boy, even though a little bit shy. It's my roommate’s first cat, and I’m happy to guide him through this wonderful adventure with my experience. If you’re looking for a gentle attentive caregiver for your furry baby, I got you! I'm working full-time next month, but in August I'll be back to my part-time schedule. I am usually free from Monday to Thursday, but for now only Mondays work. From previous experience hosting small dogs here, we designed a system of spatial separation, not to stress either your pet or house cat. It will have half of the house to explore. We already keep everything edible out of the cat's reach, and there's strict "shut doors, shut windows" policy for our escape artist, so yours also won't have a chance. In others' home, I follow their requirements. If there's no instructions given, I'll look out for following: - no human food eaten - no paws on the table, kitchen counter, etc. - no pushing fragile things from surfaces, no fighting heavy things (that may fall on them) - if there's toys, offer to play every once in a while - if they're comfortable, pet and cuddle Outside: - no picking from the ground - interactions controlled - no off-leash walks, playing off-leash only in the fenced yard or in a dog park - I usually let them to pick the route, but try to walk for at least 20-30 minutes.
“Iris is an absolutely incredible and highly responsible pet sitter! I booked her to take care of my cat, Orange, while I was out of town, and I couldn't be happier with her service. Orange usually takes time to warm up to people, but he absolutely adores Iris. Every time she left, Orange would stand by the door for a long time, waiting for her to come back. During her visits, Iris went above and beyond—she meticulously cleaned the litter box, refreshed his water, and spent quality time playing with him. What touched me the most was how she handled an unexpected situation: Orange threw up once while I was away. Iris managed it beautifully and took such amazing care of him that he fully recovered and didn't throw up again. She sent me wonderful photos and videos during every single visit, which gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. Iris is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves animals. I will definitely look for Iris to take care of Orange again whenever I travel in the future. Highly, highly recommended!”
“We are repeat customers of Natalie- she takes great care of our kitty (now kitties) while we are out of town - great communication - I know our pets are in good hands while we are away”
“Daphne took care of my kitty for the weekend and did a great job. She was reliable, punctual, responsive to my texts, and when I got home my boy was happy. Everything I had requested was done. Daphne also watered my plants and I was happy to see they were all thriving when I returned home.”
“Kazuko was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! Took several photos and was so good with her. Would definitely recommend and will be having her take care of Ranger again!”
“So appreciative of Mila’s drop in visit with our puppy! She is a great communicator and kept me updated. She is clearly an animal lover. When we had our meet and greet I knew instantly Orson would be well taken care of :)”

Junyan took such good care of my cats while I was gone. She was accountable, respectful, caring and in tune with what my cats were needing. By the end of the five day trip she had my anxious kitty playing with her ! She had great on time communication and would call if anything arose that needed my attention quickly. She is such a calm constant attentive pet sitter which helped put my mind at ease. Both me and my cats love her so much and we will be rebooking in the future !
Marta is our go-to pet sitter. She gives each of our pets the attention and care they need. Even our highly anxious cat comes out of hiding for Marta’s drop in visits. Marta takes great care in meeting each pet’s unique needs. It is clear how much she loves animals!
Kazuko was perfect - we have a super senior cat that requires medications with every meal and Kazuko handled everything perfectly. She was communicative and provided consistent updates with every drop-in visit so we could just relax during our trip. She also left our apartment so clean and overall provided above and beyond what we expected.
We really loved Kenyan she is very professional and punctual. My pet Luna really loved her attention and care. Every visit from Kenyan was amazing and in details with photos and records of everything that she did to Luna. We really recommend her as a pet sitter. For sure we will book her again. Thank you so much for thanking such a great care of our baby Luna. 🐱
Amanda was very communicative and flexible to the evolving needs of my cat prior to our trip! My cat had an unexpected surgery and Amanda was able to adjust to the added medication and look over her stitches and any medication reactions while caring for her.
I highly recommend booking with Nora. She is an excellent in both communication and care. She is professional, efficient, and direct, which makes coordinating easy, but she is also incredibly sweet and understanding. Most importantly, my cats adore her. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.
