Tatyana was amazing! I was nervous to leave my cats for a week, but she sent me so many pictures every day with updates on how they were doing. My cats loved her! I asked her to keep an eye on their appetites and she sent daily updates about how much each of them ate. I had a couple other pets that she didn’t need to take care of and she even sent me photos of them whenever she was visiting! Can’t say enough great things, will be my go-to in the future.

Leta kindly took care of my cat on very short notice. They’d met once before, a while back. Of course, all went very well. It was easy to communicate with Leta in real-time and specify or tweak certain details. Highly recommended.

Eileen was super friendly and communicative. She gave our more outgoing cat all of the attention she wanted, and she even made our our much more shy cat feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding for some pets! We've had sitters tell us that they didn't see our shy girl all week, so it's a big deal that she was ready to come out and meet Eileen after only three days!

Morgan was an absolute star when it came to taking care of my senior cat with a variety of health issues that required daily medication. She was patient, loving, kind and most importantly was reliable in my absence. Really appreciated her being able to provide daily updates during drop ins! Can’t recommend her enough and will be rebooking her in the future for sure!

Absolutely fabulous! I cannot say enough good things about Rosanna. My cats are very shy with new people and prefer to hide. But within one day of Rosanna visiting, they were literally eating out of the palm of her hand! She went about and beyond in the care of our cats and we will definitely be hiring her again.

I booked Alice & Ethan for drop-in visits for my cat. I appreciated how responsive they were throughout the booking process and the stay, as well as their willingness to stop by my apartment beforehand for a meet & greet. While I was away, their thorough Rover Cards with numerous pictures and videos put my mind at ease. I came back to a tidy house and happy cat -- I would definitely book again!

Joyce was AMAZING! We were out of town for a week and she followed the instructions we left and was great at communicating how they were doing. One of my cats is quite nervous and seemed to warm right up to her, was such a relief knowing my cats were being well cared for while I was away. Will be my go to sitter in the future!

Birger was incredibly quick to respond after I needed an emergency check in for my cat. (The cat sitting service I had booked turned out to NOT be caring for my cat.) Birger was responsive, sent pictures, and hung out for a bit after addressing food, water, and litter. So grateful for the great care, will definitely be rebooking in the future

About: I've owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years, and always take a loving, friendly, and compassionate approach when it comes to pet care. I also have years of experience with watching and walking friends' dogs when they're away, making sure the dogs have everything they need and more. I also have experience with taking care of cats and rabbits! I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays and I'm around most weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). I will often be available on these days to care for your dog! I will follow any and all instructions you have for your dog while in your home, and will make sure they're getting the attention and care they need, from giving them walks, feeding, play time, and more. I'm very attuned to the needs of dogs, and know that I'd offer quality, reliable care for your pet.

Madeleine took such wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and very understanding of all of his needs! With an older cat, it gives us a lot of comfort knowing that Madeleine is there to make sure he is ok when we aren't around. She sent us daily updates and pictures to keep us aware of how he was doing! We'll definitely be booking her in the future!

Chloe is clearly very experienced working with animals. She watched our cat for 2 weeks and gained the cat’s trust very quickly. It gave us peace of mind while we were away knowing our pet was in caring hands. Chloe provided great updates and photos while also being very responsive. She came in the clutch on short notice to watch our cat. We will definitely be in touch with Chloe for future visits!
