“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”
“Heather was fantastic with my cats! She went the extra mile and took care of my cats as if they were her own. I will absolutely rebook her in the future!”
“Susan was exceptional and went over and above what was required of her. I would HIGHLY recommend her. My cat Mysti responded to her very well and I only had Mysti for 3 weeks. You cannot go wrong with this sitter. We actually used her services for 4 days and she was On time and did everything she was asked and then some. She also included photos of Mysti and I could tell Mysti was very happy. Marguerite S.”
“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”
“I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.”
“Saul was amazing! He took great care of my cat while I was out of town, providing plenty of updates and sticking to her routine. My cat autumn, was very happy when he came to check on her. I highly recommend him!”
“Katie is just amazing and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s extremely communicative (fast replies, let us know of her schedule way in advance) and obviously has been amazing with our maltipoo Cora! Cora is sometimes hesitant when meeting new people but she warmed up to Katie right away. Katie leaves detailed cards and it warms my heart seeing all the pictures of Cora! We trust her so much that we are hoping to have her as a regular sitter. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Madison took great care of Remy, on late notice and was extremely responsive and gave great updates! Highly recommend!”
“Great job!!! Becca was a great help to our family today. She was reliable and punctual taking out our puppy, Hank. She was successful at taking him for a walk (he's new to a leash). He was a happy and dry boy when we arrived tonight. Thanks again! We look forward to working with you in the future ❤️??”
“Kelsey was great taking care of our two cats and went above and beyond with the one that is not a fan of strangers. It was great knowing she actually used the toys we left out for the kitties. She also brought in a package that was delivered while we were away. We will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
“From the beginning Ray was responsive and accomindating. While traveling, it was such a relief and comfort to know that Ray was coming to check on the cat everyday, as booked. He gave updates on how she was doing, made sure she was fed, watered etc as well as staying with her for companionship and pets for the requestied time. He also sent picture updates. Will use again when/if I need someone to watch after her. Thanks Ray!”
“This was our second time asking Cathy to check on our cat while we were out of town. She is great and we will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for the last 4.5 years, after foster failing and adopting my current cat Mimi. I’ve had experience taking care of more vulnerable cats (traumatized, senior cats) and a couple of dogs through fostering as well. I mostly work from home, so I have flexibility during the week to check-in, feed, and play with pets and whenever I’m available during weekends. I’m happy to take any requests around feeding, play, clean up to make your pet feel comfortable. I personally love seeing pictures of my cat when I’m away so I will provide live updates so you know your pet is safe.
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!
“Katherine took great care of my skittish cat, Whisper! Whisper rarely comes out when strangers are around, but Katherine is so good that she was willing to come out to say hello. Katherine is a great communicator as well. I appreciate all of her help!”
About: I grew up with dogs in the house and haven't had many times when a dog wasn't in the house. I have experience working with and caring for pups, older dogs, anxious dogs and super active dogs! I also have experience administering medication. I can’t wait to get to know your buddies! I work from home most days on a very flexible schedule. That means I have the time to give your pets the attention and exercise they need. I will give your dog gentle and loving care while offering a lot of activity when needed. I am a very active person and happy to walk your dog in your own neighborhood or take a trip to the park. I do not have a fence at my own place, but make up for that with longer walks or play time inside. I have lids on all trashcans and keep the floors clear of anything a pet could ingest. If a car ride is needed, I have a safety seat in the back for small dogs.
About: Hi everyone! I'm a huge dog lover who has experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a small dog but have also spent lots of time walking and sitting medium and large breeds like pit mixes, labradors, golden retrievers, and goldendoodles. Whether it's an energetic walk, a quick drop-in for playtime, or medication administration (I'm comfortable with both oral pills and ear drops), I'm here to help keep your pet happy and healthy. I’ve regularly dog-sat and walked dogs for family and friends, and now I’m excited to offer the same level of care and love to your puppies! I work mostly remotely, which means I have the flexibility for midday walks and check-ins throughout the week. My weekends are even more open, so I can accommodate longer visits or more frequent outings. I’m dying to have a dog of my own right now (but can’t due to apartment rules), so getting to spend time with yours is the next best thing! I’d be so excited to hang out with your pup and make sure they’re well-fed, hydrated, and most importantly, loved while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I work from home the majority of the time, so depending on my meetings for the day, I can be extremely flexible Monday through Friday from 8-5. I am also available mornings before work and in the evenings as well. My availability on the weekends is more open. While I can’t board any pets at my apartment, I do ensure that your homes are kept in good shape while you’re away. I always make sure to do a walkthrough of the home to make sure no one got into anything they shouldn’t be getting into, and that all doors are locked, lights are off, and dogs are settled in before heading out.

We would definitely book her again!”

She watched him when a terrible snow storm hit and she went out of her way to spend the whole day with him. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Kathy was wonderful - great communication, reliable and friendly. Took great care of our pups while visiting the area - highly recommend!
We are more than pleased with Kathleen. Our kitties warmed up to her quickly and she sent us cute photos each day she went to check in. She even took out the garbage and brought in our mail. We will definitely book with her again!!
We have worked with Ray a few times now for our kitties and as always, he was professional, attentive, and thoughtful! Highly recommend!
Taylor is the best cat sitter we have ever had! She is so attentive and communicative. The kitties loved her instantly and she gave very detailed updates and tons of pictures. We will definitely be using her services again!!
Cathy did great as usual. Cats were in great shape upon our return and she provided daily updates & photos.
Sandy was great! She was responsive and sent great updates keeping us in the loop every day. We will definitely use her again in the future when we go out of town!
Emma and William were true lifesavers for our boy Thompson Thompson. He had been having some health issues and we were worried about him being alone while we left for 10 days. But William and Emma stepped up and not only relieved our anxiety, but became good friends of Thompson. They took great care of him, giving him his daily medicine, cleaning his litter box and spending time with him in our home. Seeing that he was fine at home allowed us to enjoy our trip without anxiety because we knew he was in great hands.
Letizia is superb with Jade and Cleo. She has been such a great help to us over the last couple years! We love all of her pictures and videos of the cats she sends us while we’re away! We always know they’re safe and taken care of while we’re away. I would recommend her to anyone!
Megan has been an absolute godsend. She’s taken care of our cat a couple of times now and been very flexible and accommodating.
Darya was incredible! I never leave my dogs when we go in trips and so I was scared to leave but I’m so glad we found her! She was in time for every visit. She even came for a meet and greet before we left which helped relieve a lot of my anxiety of leaving my dogs behind. She was good with my Sr. Dig and with my young dog. She even leashed them up and took them for little walks. She stayed the full time each visit and did everything we asked and sent tons of cute pictures. I would definitely book her again!!
Morgan made the effort to come to my house to meet my dogs ahead of our scheduled drop in. She was always quick to respond and even picked up trash in my backyard so the dogs wouldn’t get into it. I really appreciate someone like Morgan taking care of my babies while away.
Jenny did a great job looking after my two kitties while I was away for over a week. Normally they’re quite spooked by new faces, but she had them out and about within a day or two
Awesome sitter!!! She was super attentive to my pets and would totally recommend her to anyone needing a sitter :)
Sage took the time to locate each of our babies and reacted according to each cat's comfort level. She gave attention to those that wanted it and observed those that were more timid. Great job.
Ariel was on time and took excellent care of our little one. Will definitely call her again...thank you Ariel❣️
First time using Shelby and we were incredibly impressed…. she did great with our special needs dog was a great communicator from beginning to end!
Mac watched over our two cats and did a great job. He's very communicative and we appreciate the updates he provided! Thanks Mac!
As always, it's a pleasure to have Shannon take care of our fur babies - always great communication and attention for them.
Robyn was amazing with our cat Eevee. She has a lot of experience with cats so I felt really comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She followed feeding instructions well, kept the litter box clean, and spent extra time playing with Eevee. Highly recommend!
