“Ella is fantastic! I really got a sense that she cares about the animals she is sitting and she was very through with her explanation of what she did each time. She took lots of wonderful pictures of our cat which really helped to see he was doing well. I would highly recommend Ella to anyone and I will be using her again!”
“Bailey did a wonderful job with our shy kitty. I do believe she is a cat whisperer! She is very reliable , courteous and kept me very well informed. I will definitely use her again to care for my kitty!”
“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! I have 3 kitties who are very high maintenance (age, behavior, etc.) and she handled them totally amazingly. They were in great hands and I felt very reassured, if you’re looking for a pet sitter, this is your person!”
“Kate is amazing! We had great communication from the start. This is the first time we leave Maple for a whole week with a sitter, so at first we were nervous. Maple is a 17 pound cat with a strong personality, but lovable with people she elect. Few days before the boarding, Kate came to see Maple and the two click from the start. Maple doesn’t allow strangers to approach, and yet, allowed Kate to even brush her on day one. Kate helped to stablished an area for Maple’s tent, food, and litter in where Maple felt comfortable, and we could tell she was doing fine from the start. Daily throughout the week Kate sent us pictures and updates which we loved. We can thank her enough for the amazing job she did, and all the love she gave to Maple.”
About: In addition to petsitting for 10+ years, I have been a proud dog parent for more than 5 years. Due to unforeseen circumstances within a breakup, I no longer have dogs, and miss them desperately. I would love to care for your dogs as if they are my own! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I'm very active, and I'd happily take your pups on walks and hikes with me if they're into that kind of thing. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own. I love to play, cuddle, and meet their needs - whatever those might be. I have experience with puppies, administering medication, and caring for all types of dogs, especially those with quirky personalities.
“Jessica watched our cat for two weeks while we were on vacation. She did a magnificent job communicating every day and included a photo with her report. She also watched the house and even watered the plants! I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services again!”
“Emma was so attentive and communicative while dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She followed all the instructions and kept us updated with pictures and descriptions of the drop ins. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Marissa did a great job watching our two cats. She was helpful and communicative, keeping our cats great company and our home tidy. We'd love to have her sit again!”
“This was our second booking with Taylor and it won’t be our last! Taylor is so responsive, reliable, and our furry babies love her. We had peace of mind knowing Taylor was caring for them while we were out of town 🐾❤️ Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and they are a huge part of my life! I have volunteered at the animal shelter where I helped to socialize the animals and train dogs to behave on a leash. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. Your pets will receive lots of cuddles and play time! I am currently a full time student. I will be available in the late afternoon and evenings on most weekdays and have open availability on the weekends. Your pets will receive ample playtime and cuddles! I am experienced in giving meds if your pet has any prescriptions. I am willing to care for puppies and pets with any special needs!
About: I have lived with cats all my life, and have had my own (Onyx!) for a couple years. I am passionate about cats and cat care. I am a part time student, so this summer, my schedule is wide open. I am available every day of the week, afternoons and evenings. I am able to meet all of a cat's basic needs- feeding, water, litter box cleaning, play, cuddles. I also have experience with my own diabetic kitty, so can accommodate yours!
“He was great with our cat and dog through multiple challenges! We had a water leak while we were away and he gave us updates. Our dog was extremely stressed with us being gone and David went over the top to bond with him and help him. He was communicative and trustworthy. We definitely recommend him!”
About: Ive been around animals since I was young. My puppy is turning 4 this year, his name is Alvah! Since having him i’ve developed skills in training puppies, grooming, walking, bathing, feeding, playing, and overall care that animals deserve. I’ve been around blind dogs and senior animals who need medications or extra support. The number one thing i’ve learned is listening to my intuition. An animals demeanor, look in their eyes, body language, and energy says more than words ever could. Sometimes it feels like I know that they are thinking! I believe there is something special about connecting with another creature outside of your own species. That being said I adore all animals of any gender, size, age, condition, and personality:) I currently work two jobs, both part time. My days off are Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday and Thursday I tend to work night shifts but that is not consistent as my schedule changes based on what my job needs. Friday-Sunday I work during the day and usually have the evenings to myself after 4pm. On the bright side both of my jobs are flexible and understanding. If there are any concerns about time or availability please feel free to communicate that with me and we can work it out! I live in a basement apartment, there is a fenced yard. The neighborhood is great for walks, and there are fun trails in the area. The family I rent from does have a small high energy dog, but it is rare that we are in the backyard at the same time. As for my puppy he goes back and forth between my family and I. So if your pet likes company or is better alone, either works! I try to walk him 2-3 times a day and he goes out to do his business every 1-2 hours. If there are certain instructions you have for your pet or home rest assured I will follow them! I am a clean and organized person in my home and in others. I believe communication and honesty is so important, for both parties to feel safe and happy.

“Mildred is an awesome cat sitter!! She kept me updated with texts and photos and gave lots of love to my cat. I definitely recommend working with her :)”
Elizabeth R.
“Liddy is the most reliable and trustworthy dog sitter I’ve worked with! My dog Max can be a little particular and nervous, but she immediately won him over. She’s great about sending updates without me even having to ask which makes leaving him so much less stressful. It's clear she's a dog whisperer and I always know he’s in good hands when she’s taking care of him. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter who’s responsible, communicative, and actually pays attention to your pet’s needs. Will be booking Liddy again 100%!”
