“I chose Aimee based on her reviews: I was nervous about leaving my three senior cats (one is special needs) for a few days and told Aimee. She helped relieve my anxiety by sending me her detailed notes and photos from each visit. I am so pleased with Aimee’s excellent care of my cats.”


“We had so much peace of mind knowing our cats were being cared for by Elise while we were gone! At the first meet and greet, our cats took to her right away, which doesn’t always happen with meeting new people. She was so attentive and patient with them, I think they could sense right away she was a sweet person and a new friend. We plan to book Elise again if she will have us and availability works out, I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter!”


“Erin was a super thoughtful sitter to my cat while I was out of town, and a very communicative and reliable person. I will definitely book her again and reccommend her services wholeheartedly!”


“Mei is the best!! She took great care of our cats while we were out of the country and made us feel so much more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She sent great updates and lots of cute pictures which were always the highlights of our days :) Thank you for everything Mei, we will definitely reach back out in the future!!”


“Angela is the best sitter I could ask for. She is so great with my cat, Bonnie. They have quickly become best friends. She is communicative, kind, and has gone the extra mile time and time again. I highly recommend anyone looking for a caring and friendly sitter to book with Angie”


“Colleen was amazing! She played with Nala everyday and sent a bunch of pictures with updates on everything she did. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“I've hired Olga several times now and she has been great to work with. She's very responsive, and was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate my prolonged time away from this recent period. She was also very flexible in light of some last-minute flight delays and cancellations which took a lot of stress off my mind. Highly recommended!”


“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”


“Hannah took such great care of our cat while we were away. She was very communicative which put us at ease. It was really important to us to find a sitter who specifically enjoyed being around cats and Hannah was definitely that person. We could tell our cat looked forward to her visits which made us feel better about being away. We would definitely book with her again!”


About: I’m a young professional looking to care for your fur baby when you need it most! I’ve had dogs of all sizes and personalities my entire life, and miss having them at home. I’d love to spend my free time making sure yours has a buddy while you’re out. I live a very active lifestyle and have plenty of experience with puppies, crate training, administration of medications, and senior dogs. I work full time during the week, but I am available in the evenings (after 6pm). I am also available all day Saturdays and Sundays. I live in an apartment with an elevator and easy access to a large, grassy space. I do not have any other animals in my apartment, and the apartment is pet friendly.

“I enjoyed reading the fun Rover cards while I was away. Kimi was treated very well and was happy and content when I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Katie, and would book her again!”


About: Having grown up with cats, I am a cat lover through and through. I have since adopted a cat of my own, and I love her more than anything. I know what it's like to be away from your pet, so I make sure to give them extra love as if they were my own! I volunteer a local animal shelter where I care for all types, ages, and personalities of cats/kittens. This includes those that are shy or sick. I also have experience cat sitting for my friend's kitten that has diabetes and needs an insulin shot two times per day. I work full time but am flexible in the early mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I can always make time in my schedule for the fur babies! I make sure to account for all of the needs and requests outlined by the client prior to the service taking place. This includes not only food and fresh water daily, but the litterbox, play time, and cuddles. I will always make sure to give your fur babies a little extra love when you are gone!

“Stephanie was great. It was the first time we had a drop in visit for our cat. She was very responsive with pictures and sending an update about any questions we had while we were away from our cat. Would definitely book with her again!”
