“If we could give Janet 6 stars, we would. Janet truly loves animals and cared for our cats. She took excellent care of them: feeding, cleaning their boxes, treats, and sent at least a dozen pictures every day. If you need someone reliable for your furbabies, book Janet. Unless we need her, then you can't have her. :)”


“Diana was amazing! This was my first time booking someone for house-sitting, and Diana made it easy for me. Upon our first meet and greet, both my cats allowed her to pet them. One of them is particularly shy, and she was able to pet him. During her stay, she sent daily updates and pictures on both my boys. I felt reassured that they were in the best hands while my family was out of town. I will definitely be rebooking with Diana if we go out of town again. Thank you SO SO much!”


“Denisa is a gem! She cared for my kitty, feeding, playing and making sure he was drinking enough water. I received amazing updates, pictures and videos each visit and Whiskers loved her! I will definitely be calling on Denisa in the near future to care for Whiskers again. Thank you for such exceptional care, communication and for loving pets as much as I do!”


“Kristen was so great with my cat, even giving her medication for an ear infection that came up last min! She sent lots of pictures and updates and I know my cat was happy!”


“Emily did a great job taking care of our two cats when we were away. She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates with pictures. We will definitely use her again in the near future!”


“Ashley was absolutely excellent in caring for our kitties! Truthfully, I was anxious leaving them for over a week, but her communication and kindness throughout our travels assured me they were in good hands. Ashley took time to send thorough updates and lots of pictures, and was understanding of the unique needs of our three very different cats. One is particularly nervous and Ashley showed extra care in making sure she got food and attention. All three kitties were happy and healthy upon our return. Highly recommend Ashley for your cat and pet sitting needs!”


“Lauren was great! I needed a last minute walk for my golden retriever and she was super responsive. We set up a quick meet and greet and she was flexible and easy to work with. She sent updates and pictures of my pup during their walk. I will definitely use Lauren again!”



“Marcela is like a cat whisperer angel human being and I would not trust anyone else with my cats. I am so lucky to live within her service area because she is so patient and gentle with my cats and is great at sending messages. I feel like you can tell she truly adores animals and treats my cats so great.”


“This is our 5th time having Olivia take care of our cats. She visited for 2 weeks while we were away. She’s very trustworthy and kind. Will continue to have her as our sitter. Thanks!”


“Grace took great care of my cat while I was away! She sent me lots of pictures and gave me detailed updates every day. I will definitely book Grace again when I go out of town next!”


“Taylor has been our sitter for a while and she I trustworthy, cares for our pets like they are her own and always give her all while caring for our pets even when we had a tiny emergency. I highly recommend her services to anyone!”


About: Hi! I'm Kay, a proud Army veteran and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I have personally cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with senior cats and dogs as well as experience with medication administration. I used to have three Siberian huskies, and am comfortable with active, large dogs as well as small dogs. Whether you need a quick visit, daily walk, boarding, or part-time house sitting, I offer reliable, compassionate service tailored to your pet's unique needs. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and loved. I am available during the weekdays and most weekends to maximize time spent with your loved ones. For doggy daycare, I will be onsite most of the day, leaving for errands (when required) no more than 30 min at a time. I can ensure multiple potty breaks during the day, offer playtime, and walks for exercise. For house sitting I can guarantee large chunks of time (up to 2 hours) during a visit, up to four times a day including a late night check-in (as late as 10pm) and early morning check-in (as early as 6am) but typically do not stay full time or overnight. Willing to discount house sitting pricing for multiple animals in the home. For boarding I will be onsite most of the day, but could be gone up to four hours at a time on occasion. I have a friendly, active, Labrador to keep your pet company. There are also two caged ferrets in the home that are kept separate from all boarded animals. Even though we do not have a fenced yard, I can guarantee at least two walks a day and multiple play times to help burn energy. We have baby gates in the house to help keep your pet safe and secure. I also have a safe space for cat boarding and other pets that need to be keep separate.

“Deanna provided great care for my kitten, Boots! He can be a handful as he’s only 10 weeks old and she took great care of him and had a positive attitude with all of the kitten energy! She and her roommate were very helpful with transporting all of his supplies and making boarding an ease. She was very responsive when I texted. I would recommend Deanna for all of your kitten and pet needs!”


“My boys warmed right up to Lexa! I was nervous about using Rover for the first time, but as soon as I saw her interact with my cats during our walk through, I knew they'd be in good hands! Also, I loved getting multiple cute photos of them while away!”


About: See animal sections below as they apply to your fur-family 🤗💕 Cats: I have owned multiple cats at a time for my entire life. I currently have 3, including a recent car-rescue kitten! I have experience administering eye and oral medications. Your litter boxes & the surrounding area (if you have a crazy-coverer like I do! 🤣) will be extra clean. I love giving kitties love & affection, or tiring them out with their favorite toy - totally dependent on their personality and needs! 🤩 Dogs: I have owned dogs most of my life as well, ranging in size from a Dachshund to a Rottweiler (all breeds are loved here 🥰). I am happy to go for walks, or just handle bathroom & food times for your pup(s)! 🤩 Misc.: I have experience pet-sitting for horses and birds. I also have personal experience owning turtles and fish. Any pet will be treated like family with me - my only exception is spiders… (sorry arachnid lovers 🤣) I do work full-time so my availability may be limited at times, but when I am with your pet(s) they will have my undivided attention- and you will receive lots of photos (unless requested otherwise) 🥳💕 Can’t wait to meet your fur-family 😍 I work full time, so pet-sitting will occur after my regular work hours or on the weekends! I am very flexible on weekends, and will have limited flexibility during the week. I will treat pets & homes as if they were my own. I understand some pets may get restless when their owner is away - and I am happy to clean up any messes that may come from this. I will be sure the home is left in the same, if not a better, condition compared to when I arrived. I also will make sure the pets are left feeling sleepy & with a full belly after so much love and attention!

“Mara was a perfect match for what we were looking for in a cat sitter. You can tell she actually cares for and loves pets. She communicated with me and responded to my messages right away. We will be adding her to our list for cat sitters in the future. And I say list only if she’s not available because she’d be our first choice.”
