“Marlee was fabulous. Our cat is not the easiest to befriend and Marlee was so kind to her. She would play with her and care for her and follow her cues for when she was willing to receive attention. We will absolutely rebook with Marlee!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Violeta set the bar very high. My cat has a lot of needs and Violeta did a great job meeting those needs and keeping me informed while I was away.”
“Keira did an outstanding job checking in on our cats and aquarium. Great communication and punctual. When we got home everything was as it should be. Our cats are skittish so I didn't expect her to play with them or even see them, but one day our male said hi and Keira stayed with him and gave him attention. Highly recommend! Thanks Keira!”
“Grace was amazing, She genuinely loves animals and it felt stress free leaving our fur babies with her. She knew how to take care of them and I know they loved her too! She was constantly in touch with us giving updates and taking pictures. I appreciated it so much and will 100% book again with her”
“As soon as we met Marian we knew our two cats would be in good hands when we went away on vacation-and from the wonderful photos and updates she sent us, it’s clear that we were right! Marian even made friends with our super shy cat who hardly ever comes out for anyone except us. She was easy to get in touch with and very communicative as well.”
“Abby did great taking care if our boys! I didn't receive very many in-the-moment updates/pictures which was outside of what Im used to, but she spent significant time we'll outside of the 30 minute expected window taking being present and caring for our cats. I felt safe knowing they were in good hands - no complaints.”
About: I have had three dogs for the past 4 years and I have lots of experience taking care of other people’s dogs. I have most experience with small and medium size dogs.

I have three small dogs of my own and a backyard that the dogs are welcome to play in. I am willing to have animals at my house or go to your home and take care of them in yours.
“We left our kitty with Justin and Stephanie for a few days. They sent us pictures everyday and we're very responsive to messages. They also were so welcoming and friendly when we arrived to drop her off. I definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
About: I have cared for both cats and dogs throughout my life, from cleaning litter boxes to administering medications there are many skills I have gained through my experiences.

“Lillian was awesome looking after our old cat. I told her our cat was old and small and would probably hide for all the visits. But she just loved Lillian! Came out each time, sat in her lap and got lots of ear rubs. Litter and food areas were cleaned well also. Thanks!”
About: I am a very experienced caregiver to dogs, cats, and fish, and am used to having pets with high needs and doing things around the house like watering plants, cleaning, and general upkeep. I do prefer caring for pets in their home, as I believe it provides a sense of stability and I can just fit into the preset routine. I am patient and empathetic towards animals and I will definitely make sure they are taken care of and feel comfortable. I can figure most things out on my own but have no problem with chatting with the parents if it comforts them and reassures them that their baby is in good hands. I am available pretty much all the time, and will definitely make your needs the first priority in my schedule. I can't wait to meet you and your pets/s!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I can remember. I have 5 cats (one senior) and I’m currently training my 6 month old puppy. I’ve watched my family’s pets several times without any issues. I’m working part time right now from home with flexible hours, so anytime you need me, I’ll be there for you and your fur baby. I treat any animal I take care of like my own making sure I go above and beyond for their care. They aren’t humans so we need to be extra sure they get what they deserve.
