“Solaima was more than perfect with my two cats. She always communicated anything that she wasn’t sure of, and made sure to update me with how they were doing everyday. She even washed a few things that were in the sink when she did not have to! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter!!”
“Casey was great! She was super responsive when I first reached out to her and was great with my cat Poppy. I especially loved all the pictures she sent during her drop-ins. I would definitely recommend her to another pet owner. Thanks, Casey!”

About: I’m reliable, trustworthy, and ready to give your dog all the love they’ll be needing when you aren’t there! I’ll be sure to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and well taken care of :) I’m currently unemployed so I have a ton of free time! I just need a heads up in advance so that I can make sure I’m available :) I live in an apartment and do not currently have any pets of my own (although I do have a 4 year old Australian shepherd at my parents house). My apartment is very pet friendly and has tons of grassy areas and walking trails nearby!
“Shayna was so great - stopped in to feed our kitties and pet them. It was so nice to know they were taken care of when we went out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Michaela was wonderful as always! We had an issue with entrance to our apartment and she waited extra time until it was resolved to made sure our puppy was brought outside, fed, and played with. It is clear that she truly cares about Winston’s well-being, and we are very happy to have such a caring sitter watch him for us. Would recommend Michaela to anyone who is in search of a reliable sitter!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life, often with multiple dogs at a time (from golden retrievers, to a bichon, to doodles - I love them all!) Comfortable with dogs of all ages/breeds I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am often available on weekends, happy to make time to spend time with dogs or cats! Very attentive to detail and will follow instructions left for pet care exactly. I'm very focussed on safety and am extremely reliable, and think of myself as very trustworthy and respectful of peoples spaces & things.
“Lauren’s checked in on Blake before and this time was the same great experience as always! Lauren is always on time, sends me updates, and makes sure Blake is all set and happy by the time she leaves!”

I've booked multiple times with Jenin and have nothing but great things to say! They are great with my cat, very communicative, and sends a bunch of great photos after every drop-in. The photos and updates make my day and make me feel like my pet is in good hands. Would highly recommend Jenin!
Courtney is friendly, communicative & professional. I felt 100% comfortable asking her to drop in on my two cats. She left great notes after each of her visits. She quickly picked up on their personalities. And, I could tell they thoroughly enjoyed her visits. I'd be happy to have Courtney catsit again -- and I definitely recommend her to others.
Devin took great care of my two senior kitties while my husband and I took a little weekend trip! Appreciated the photo updates and she followed my instructions regarding supplements for my older kitty. Definitely would love to have her take care of my cats again when I need it!
Ana noticed my cat was having difficulty walking when she arrived for her check in. She contacted me immediately with the details and photos. She gave her extra care and brought her a low litter box because she was having difficulty getting into the taller litter robot. Ana is the most caring rover I’ve ever experienced.
Lisa G. Is the best cat sitter i have used! My cat Linda loves to see her again regardless of how long it has been. Lisa is flexible and so easy to work with! She adjust time and visits as I need. I don't think I would enjoy my time away without knowing Lisa is caring for Linda!! She's a rock star sitter!!
