“We had the best cat sitter experience with Jules! She is an excellent communicator, shared ample photos, and gave a thorough update on each of our cats. She made our cat crew feel safe and respected around her and even coaxed our shy cat out from her hidey hole. In addition to feeding/water/litter, she made time to bond with them through play with wand toys. Our cats are looking forward to their next visit with Jules, already booked!”

Having her check in on our cats and update us makes it so we can enjoy our time away from our cats without worrying about them! We appreciate Michelle so much and plan on reaching out again in the future!”
About: I have years of experience taking care of my two feline sons Tater and Tot, as well as a variety of other cats, dogs, and even a few snakes, hamsters, and goats! I understand that pets are family and know it is a privilege to take care of your fur babies. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I show towards mine. As a graduate student with remote classes, I have lots of flexibility to take care of your fur babies, whether early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between! I know how hard it is to be to be away from your pets. I want you to know that if I have the privilege to care for your fur babies, I will treat them as if they were my own and will send you lots of photos to help put your mind at ease! I am meticulous about cleaning up after pets, will monitor their food intake and hydration, and will provide lots of opportunities for socialization, exercise, and play! I will also keep you posted on their daily health behaviors and will carefully follow any instructions you provide.
“Maryann is an excellent care taker for our dogs. She has cared for our dogs multiple times during week long trips and she is great! She goes above and beyond.”
“We are new to the area and we’re anxious about getting a new cat sitter for our two very shy cats. We are very happy to have found Aidan and will definitely book again! They were very responsive and did a great job making sure our cats were taken care of while we were away.”
“Mae is amazing! Left wonderful notes and pictures at every visit and took amazing care of my Luna who clearly loved her visits as well. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :)!”
“Loving having Tiara watch my puppy. She's so nice & gives me tons of detail about how her visit went. She also gives me tips on how I can better improve the puppy's routine or environment which is so helpful. Highly recommend!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages and am able to accommodate certain requests with a conversation with you! I have been a dog owner for my whole life and a more recent cat owner, and cared for dogs and cats of friends, family, and neighbors throughout. I work part time and on an inconsistent schedule, so reach out and I can often accommodate your needs! I am better able to accommodate specific times and dates with more advance notice! I always come to your home so your furry friend feels safe and comfortable in the place they know best. I always take cues from the pet in our first interactions and will prioritize their health and safety, even if that means taking a longer time to get the job done.
“No matter where I am in the world whether it’s Japan best Africa or Europe if I get a message from Lydia, my heart skips a beat because I know that she’s with Jack and that he is well cared for”
“We are so thankful for Kiera! We had a 4 day trip and she stopped in multiple times to check in on our fur babies! We loved getting the updates/pictures. Made us feel good knowing they were in good hands! Highly recommend.”

Ben P.
“Ben is one of those people that animals instantly trust. When he met my childhood cat, who usually hides from new people, I was shocked that she immediately greeted him and let him pet her! Likewise, I’ve heard multiple people express surprise when their dogs or cats seek out Ben, saying that they’re not used to their pets being so instantly relaxed. Ben also rescued two feral cats several years ago. These poor kitties were initially terrified of toys and human contact. With lots of love, patience, and consistency from Ben, I’ve seen these cats transform into playful and snuggly love bugs! Again and again, Ben wins over animals with his kindness and respectful nature. Ben is very responsible, making him the perfect person to diligently follow whatever instructions you leave him. For example, Ben uses both phone alarms and calendar events to ensure that he administers medicines to pets exactly as prescribed. He also goes above and beyond to care for pets - for instance, when he noticed that one of his cats was rather clumsy, he rearranged his furniture to help protect his kitty from falling. TLDR; I could go on and on, but Ben is the perfect fellow pet parent to take care of your fur babies! He’s organized, trustworthy, and an all-around kind person who genuinely loves animals.”

Elise A.
“Elise is amazing with pets. She is wonderful, caring, and responsible. She grew up with a dog with temperament issues and knows exactly how to care for her and what she needs. I have a cat of my own that is very shy, who has opened up to Elise with such love. Elise knew exactly how to respect my cat's boundaries and approach her... and now my cat guards her when she is in the bathroom! You can trust Elise to follow your instructions while creating a bond with your pet. Pet care and love come naturally to her. Elise is the right one for the job.”
