“Serena did a wonderful job with our 2 cats! They are typically very skittish and shy but they took right to her. She had both of them playing in no time. She sent wonderful updates every check-in while we were out of town. We will absolutely be using Serena again!”
“Briana—you truly took forth into making me feel extremely comfortable leaving my two fur babies with you for the weekend. All instructions were followed & the level of detail you gave each time you visited along with multiple photos of my little kitties, truly gave me some encouragement that they felt comfortable enough with you. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for your kindness and effort into ensuring my cats were in good hands. I will 100% be booking with Briana again! I cannot recommend enough.”
“Daniela was absolutely amazing. Her communication was outstanding and she was always on time. I will always use Daniela again in the future without a doubt!!”

About: Hi! my name is Kathryn and I am a very experienced and loving pet sitter. I co-owned a pet sitting business in NJ which I stopped when I moved to CT. I currently have 1 dog of my own, have fostered 3 dogs, and I have been experienced in pet care for over 15 years. I have experience with puppies and kittens, up to senior animals. I have fostered dogs with behavioral issues, so please know that I am reliable and trust worthy. Most importantly, I absolutely ADORE animals and my 'perfect job' would be to run a pet sitting business again. I work from home so I am very available to take the dogs out for potty breaks, on long walks, and play in the house! I do love to take my dog to the dog park at the end of the work day, but would only do that with yours if you were comfortable with it and I had your approval. I treat them like I would my own! With love and attention. I will make sure they feel comfortable in any environment and will speak with the owner prior to make sure they have the pet's requirements met

Jill has watched our cats several times over the last few years, and she is always our #1 pick on Rover if she's available. She sends us tons of pictures, plays with them, communicates throughout, and our cats really love her (they are typically shy with strangers, but they always remember Jill). She's the best.
