“Morgan was great, Milo had initially a bit of a hard time adapting to new spaces but she was very very good at making him feel safe and at communicating with me throughout the time I was away. I just took him home and he is very relaxed and playful. I am very satisfied and will definitely book her again!”
“I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Leaving my cat, Bailey, is always stressful, but Leah made it completely worry-free. I received daily updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bailey wasn't just being fed, but was actually getting genuine affection and he loved every minute of it. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Angela did many drop-ins to my apartment for a 5 day trip. She was super accommodating, nice, responsive, and took fantastic care of my high energy and needy young cat. I was very paranoid about leaving her and Angela communicated and sent many great photos to ensure me my kitty was well taken care of. I could relax on vacation without having to worry. I would absolutely recommend her!!”
“Kara is awesome and has provided great care for our elusive kitties many times. She’s our go-to kitty-sitter without question, and has been flexible and able to accommodate us on very short notice. Thanks for the great service, Kara!!”
About: I’ve dog sat and walked for multiple families and cared for cats for 10+ years. I am looking to help local families with pet care I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule so I am able to assist in mornings, during the day, and evening regularly and consistently I have two cats at my apartment currently and have owned pets my entire life. For dogs or cats that I sit, I ensure a safe environment to meet every family’s needs
“Second time having Molly watch my cats, this time with the addition of my partner’s very temperamental kitty. Molly handled it all with extreme grace & care, and sent update photos that had us rolling laughing! Definitely book her!”
About: I have been dog sitting and walking for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also have cat sitting experience. I am available for early morning walks, weekday evenings, and weekends as well as holidays so am able to walk or let your dogs out when needed! I have experience walking dogs of all sizes as well as walking multiple dogs at once so can tailor the walk to meet the needs of each dog.
“I'm really glad I booked with Cameron for a few reasons: 1) All the correspondence and pics were forthcoming to ensure a worrier like me that all the care was there. 2) I know the cats were treated really well because even the super shy one came out of his shell by the end of the booking and it was like I was never gone when I returned - no frazzled faces or wide-eyed wonkiness. 3) The place looks exactly as I left it before I went on the trip, there were NO surprises whatsoever. I will definitely be looking to rebook with Cameron in the future for house sittings/cat care, and if you want drama-free, genuine attention, so should you!”
“Ace was a great cat sitter! One of our cats is very anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but he was very patient with her and she was letting him pet her by the end of the week, which is pretty unheard of for new cat sitters. Everything was clean when we got back and Ace sent a lot of pictures every day, which we really appreciate. Highly recommend Ace for cat sitting!”

“Esmeralda was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were out of the country for 5 days and we were in need of care for our English bulldog and senior French bulldog. Esmeralda did an outstanding job of communicating, providing gentle care, timely visits multiple times a day, doling out medications, keeping the house clean, sending follow up photos and more. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs professional and compassionate care for their pets.”

“We were totally confident with Korin taking care of our senior cat, Buddy, and staying at our home. She sent great pictures too. I almost think that Buddy didn’t know that we were gone.”

Naomi is a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of my shy cat, Rio, and I was (literally) shocked to see photos/videos of her out and about and getting pets from Naomi! I felt at ease while traveling, knowing she was there for Rio and taking good care of her. I will absolutely be booking with Naomi again!
