“Wonderful and trustworthy sitter! She was very attentive when I provided directions and followed everything requested. She provided very thorough notes of her visit, photos, and spent a lot of quality time with Watson, who craves attention. She also noted any issues (vomit). I appreciated her care and attention while we were away. I know our kitties are in good hands with her!! Highly recommend!”
“Angélica was an absolutely incredible cat sitter for my cat, Cheech, during my 10-day trip. From day one, her communication was outstanding—she sent regular updates with photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Cheech was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. What really blew me away was her thoughtfulness. On her final day, she left printed photos of Cheech along with sweet gifts and handwritten notes—such a personal and kind gesture that meant a lot to me. I trusted Angélica completely in my home, and she treated both Cheech and my space with the utmost respect and care. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely great with animals, I can't recommend Angélica enough. She’s a true gem!”
“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”
About: I have two dogs and two cats. I’ve done dog walking since early middle school and pet sitting for two years. I love animals and have for a long time. I’ll bring treats and spoil your furry friends! Walks, cuddles and playtime are my specialty! I just finished my semester of school and am pretty free for the summer! I love excuses to go out of the house and go on walk adventures with dogs or cuddles with your cat (or walk them if they like walks too!) For walks I can double leash just for added security and safety with dogs. I can swing by during set times you want me to be there, give food and play or go on walks. If you want me to house and pet sit I will bring my own stuff to keep myself entertained and maybe a few treats to share with your furry friends.
“Demi once again took amazing care of our two cats, one of which needed regular medication. She was always responsive and it was big relief to know the cats were well taken care of while we were away. Thanks, Demi!”
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”
“Supriya did fantastic. We have total peace in mind knowing she was there and everything was well taken care of. Thanks for checking everything like his litter box, food, health, etc. We appreciate you looking after our little angel baby and sending us the most adorable photos. We will definitely be in contact again for future trips!!!”
“Thank you Angela for taking care of our Vader while we were away. We appreciate the extra care of bringing in our mail, cleaning his litter box, and giving him a brushing.”
“Our regular sitter of two years moved just far enough away that coming twice a day for a week wasn't possible, so it was a little nerve-racking to choose a new sitter when we were going to be on the other side of the country. Picking Gagandeep was a good decision. He put us at ease immediately when leaving them, which was especially important when I developed an unexpected and serious medical condition. If I had spent time worrying about them cross-country, I don’t think it would have turned out as well as it did. I’ll definitely book with him again.”
About: I use to work at a pet hotel, and loved ensuring that the pets got what they deserved, care and attention. Not every pets the same, I helped shy ones get a bit more comfortable in the chaos that is playing with other dogs. I’ve provided necessary meds and ensured pet environments stayed cleanly. If I’m not willing to play around it it’s not done. Have great experience with dogs and cats. I’m open mostly to Monday through Friday: 8am to 6PM. Can be flexible later as one offs, nights are extra. Unfortunately not offering weekends at this time. Providing companionship to your furbabys while you’re out. Giving them lots of cuddles, attention, feeding, and definitely a few walks depending on dog breed and mobility. Meds need to be discussed.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and currently own two of my own. I’ve been responsible for daily feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also regularly care for my cousin’s cat, including feeding and general supervision. One of my previous cats was a purebred Siamese who enjoyed both indoor and outdoor time, so I’m familiar with monitoring safety, routines, and individual personality needs. I’m attentive, patient, and enjoy building trust with each pet I care for. While I currently have more experience with cats, I’m comfortable caring for dogs as well and am happy to follow detailed instructions to meet each dog’s individual needs. I’m available to provide consistent care, including daily visits and check-ins. I ensure pets have access to fresh water, food as instructed, and a clean environment, and I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and cared for. I aim to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet. I make sure pets are well cared for with clean spaces, regular meals, and plenty of attention. I’m patient and observant, and I enjoy spending time with pets to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I understand how important trust is when leaving a pet with someone new, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable caring for affectionate pets who enjoy companionship, as well as pets who prefer more independence.
“Kevin was great. We had him cat sit for us while we were on vacation. Our cat warmed up to him immediately and they became fast friends. He was very helpful and diligent in cleaning the litter box. Would recommend him again!”
“Kept me up to date with how Rae was doing every day and her food area clean ( even when ants decided to help themselves ! ) . Will absolutely recommend Mariah to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies . Thank you Mariah!”
“Natasha is fantastic! She is always timely, incredibly caring, and took great care of my doggie. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: 30 + years caring and training exotic and domestic animals in a professional setting. I am recently retired so I have flexibility in my day to visit your pets and take them for walks while you are busy at work. I understand the pressure of work life and trying to care for your pet. I will always have safety front of mind and never allow other dogs to interact with your dog unless they are showing good behavior. I can take care of cats, dogs , birds or other exotics. I will treat your pets as my own and give you the peace of mind of knowing your pets are well cared for. I am mostly available in the mornings and early afternoons but will work with each client depending on their needs. I do require a meet and greet before accepting new clients so please contact me to set that up so I can meet you and your pet. I am experienced in animal health care and can respond to any emergency that may come up while I am responsible for your pet. I will take photos when we are out and about and send them to you so you know I was with your pet.

“I felt very relieved knowing while I was out of town my 2 cats were well taken care of by Jackie. I appreciated the text messages letting me know when each visit started and ended. I loved getting photos of my cats each day.”
About: I've been raised to love animals since childhood, and we've had numerous dogs and cats at home growing up. My mother taught me a great deal about treating animals with care and love. I am retired and am available for cat sitting on weekdays between 8 am to 5 pm. I look forward to doting on and pampering your precious ones when they are under my care. With utmost care and attention in your own home. I know that cats are happiest in their own home, doing their own routines. Their comfort is my top priority.

Kim was fantastic. Great pre- and post- care/visit communication. The Rover Card provided was wonderfully detailed, and we really appreciated all the photos chronicling her interaction with our fur babies (who are normally quite shy/wary of strangers, but are already warming up to Kim!) Thanks Kim!!
We were so happy to have Dani check on our cats while we were away! I’m a nervous cat mom but after the first check-in my mind was put at ease as Dani gave so many details about her visit and sent so many pictures. We will definitely use her services again in the future!
Erin is simply amazing and I 100% recommend her! Erin has cared for my fur babies twice over the last year while I’m on vacation. She is very reliable, cares for animals and makes you feel completely rest assured that your fur babies are safe and well cared for. I completely trust her. She took very good care of my animals. I’d give a 10 star rating if that option was available! She is the best! 😊
This was my first time with Shiji and he was absolutely amazing, following each and every instruction and checking in with me when my cats refused to eat, went above and beyond to take care of other things kike checking litter, changing water and even playing! I trust them with my cats and my cars trust them as well
Vivian did an outstanding job caring for our cats over the holiday, including one that needed daily medication. She is reliable and followed instructions to a T, and you can tell that she is experienced with animals and their specific needs. I definitely recommend her for anyone in need of a pet sitter!
Megan is the best pet sitter I ever had!! She is passionate, great at communication, full of empathy, and very thoughtful as well! She took very good care of both my dog and cat, had very nice play sessions with them, both my pets just love her! She also took care of some of our pets blankets, putting back to the place they belong to (we have very playful dog who creates a mess easily)! We had a very relaxed holiday thanks to Megan! Definitely will ask her again to take care of our animals, and highly recommend her to anywho who needs a pet sitter!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
