“Wenge took such great care of our cat Errol during our holiday. Errol has some health issues that need monitoring; Wenge was so diligent with sending daily photos of the litter box for our review, and monitoring for symptoms. When we came back, Errol was so happy and calm! We are so grateful to have someone to trust with Errol on our holidays - Thanks again Wenge!”

“Olivia was great! She was extremely quick to respond, and happy to work with our timing. She took great care of our cats, especially with the one's medication. We'd be happy to have Olivia drop again next time we're away.”
“Ruomai took such great care of our cats over the weekend! They were doing great when we got home and I really appreciated her giving them so much attention and sending us photos and updates! They are looking forward to seeing her again in a few weeks and we will certainly use ruomai’s services going forward! ❤️”

“Torgeir took excellent care of my two cats during a week of house-sitting. The cats grew very fond of Torgeir and sought him out for snuggles and play time. I returned to a clean house and calm, happy cats. Would definitely hire Torgeir again.”
About: I've been a cat owner for 6 years, so I understand how important it is to provide cats with patience, attention, and a comfortable routine. In addition to caring for my own cat, I occasionally look after my friends' cats when they're away, making sure they're well-fed, entertained, and given plenty of affection. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and paying attention to their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's playtime, feeding, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping your cat company, I'll treat your feline friend with the same care and respect I would my own. I work in the office with a very consistent and predictable schedule, which helps me maintain a reliable routine for pet care. Most weekends, I'm home all day and have plenty of time to give cats the attention, companionship, and care they need. I also live very close to my workplace, so I can get home quickly if needed. This flexibility allows me to respond promptly in case of emergencies and ensures your cat receives dependable care and attention while you're away. I have a spacious apartment with no pets of my own, which gives your cat plenty of room to relax and feel at home. Since there are no other animals in the household, your cat can enjoy a quiet, stress-free environment and have the space all to themselves. I know that cats are most comfortable when they have familiar items around them, so you're welcome to bring their favorite toys, bed, blanket, scratching post, or cat tower to help them settle in. I'll follow your cat's usual routine as closely as possible, providing plenty of care, attention, playtime, and a clean living environment to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away.
“Dave was amazing with Nala and she is a shy girl but took so well to Dave. She definitely loved him. His daily updates on Nala and the amazing pictures always put a smile on my face and I was assured she was in the best hands. I would recommend highly recommend Dave and if there were 10 stars would give him those. Thank you Dave appreciate it??”
About: If my name is hard to pronounce you can call me Dora! If the dogs or cats want to take my chair or bed, I the type of person who would sit or sleep somewhere else. As a former researcher, I would always try to understand animals behavior in a scientific way, and of course in a loving way. I love a clean and tidy space. I work from home and with no family around, so your pet would become my best friend. I work from home and do lots of walks everyday, so all the pet's need can be taken care of nicely. I take at least two walks everyday, stay the rest of time at home working, that's why I'm capable of pet care. And most importantly, I love pets. I can care the pets in the way he was cared at home. I have a cat and lots of energy to take the dog on a walk, and the flexibility to meet the dog's need.
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful!!! Her love of pets clearly comes through in her messages and interactions, which allowed me the peace of mind to fully enjoy my vacation!! She took plenty of fantastic photos of my Steve to keep me from missing him too much and even introduced a more dynamic and engaging way of feeding him his kibble that I'll be incorporating into his routine from now on! I couldn't have been any happier with Jessica!! 🧡”
“From the very beginning, Michelle has been wonderful to work with. Her friendliness, kindness and accommodation has been great. We are very thankful she was willing to take care of our senior cat while we travelled for a family event. Michelle was prompt in her attendance, attentive to monitoring our cat’s eating habits and provided us with helpful updates and, of course, the great photos of our little buddy. Thank you Michelle. We felt fully confident leaving our cat in your care and appreciate the details you provided and the time you took to visit and play with him. I highly recommend Michelle to other pet parents needing a conscientious sitter. Thank you so much Michelle. We will definitely be in touch the next time we are in need of a cat sitter. All the best!”
“Megan did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! For starters, she agreed to watch them after a very last minute request over the holidays which was so helpful. Not only that, but she was immensely perceptive to their needs, likes, and dislikes. She also bought them some spring toys after observing what they enjoy playing with that they already have, which was too sweet. Megan will go above and beyond taking care of your pets, connecting with them and ensuring a smooth line of communication (and provides lots of photos and videos while you’re missing your fur babies!). I highly recommend Megan and hope to use her services in the future.”
“Shannon was wonderful! She did everything I asked, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Simon was happy and well cared for when I got home, which means everything to me. I would absolutely book Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you!”
“Eva and her husband took care of my two ginger boys /cats - Scootie and Timmy last week and did a great job. They met me before the first visit and were warm, friendly, responsible and turned out to be great sitters for the boys. Scootie is diabetic so they were excellent at doing his needles/insulin. And when I arrived home they seemed very at ease. I am confident I will be booking them again in the future. Thank you to you both.”
“Sunny was able to accommodate a last minute request to take care of our senior cat for a week. Communication was prompt and professional. Appointments times were consistently provided at the time we agreed upon. We received pictures and updates following each appointment. The updates from Sunny reassured us that our cat was well cared for while we were away so we could enjoy our trip. Sunny also brought in a package for us that was delivered while we are away. Thank you Sunny!”
“Melissa has looked after our cats nearly 10 times now, and each time, we’ve been beyond impressed. Not only does she provide exceptional care for our cats, but she also goes above and beyond to keep us updated and ensures our home is well looked after. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals sets her apart. We’ve worked with several cat sitters over the years, and without a doubt, Melissa is the best! We always feel at ease knowing our cats—and our home—are in such great hands.”

Bren took great care of Mimi and gave him lots of company while I was away. They seemed to have a great time together, and I really appreciated that she even brought a laser toy and some of her own treats for him. She was also very attentive and kept me updated about things around the apartment, including a building notice. She also takes amazing photos, so I now have lots of great pictures of Mimi from the visits! I’d be very happy to have her take care of Mimi again in the future.

Melodi was a wonderful cat sitter for Bruce during my three-day trip, my first time using a sitter. Within about five minutes, Bruce was purring and comfortable with her, as if they already knew each other. She cares for cats like her own (she has a cat, Winston, who looks a lot like Bruce), and it showed in how attentive she was every single day. She sent photos and videos throughout, which gave me real peace of mind. She exceeded my expectations, and I'd recommend her without hesitation. I'll definitely book her again.
Our cat and dog miss Linnea’s regular visits. Maya walks to the door around the time Linnea would show up. Linnea was patient with our cat to come around. In the end he wanted cuddles and belly rubs. Communication between us was excellent, we enjoyed the daily updates and images of our fur babies. Linnea is reliable and we will book with her again in the future.
Lydia was absolutely amazing! She provided detailed and compassionate updates every single visit, and clearly cared so much about my two cats. they had a sudden fire alarm scare as well as health concerns, but she handled everything super professionally. i highly recommend lydia!!
Harsimran was an amazing cat sitter! It was clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for my cats. She was attentive, caring, and very reliable, and her communication was excellent throughout. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!
This was my first time being away from Loki for as long as 2 weeks and Rayane have been super helpful in taking care of Loki: She visited twice a day, followed all the instructions, was timely, took very good care of Loki to the point he finally cozied up. Rayane was also super accomodating of my requests and also provided me timely updates everyday. Definitely recommend her and would go back to Rayane for all future sitting needs.
