“Molly was great with my cat Cinnamon while I was away for a few days! Cinnamon clearly took a liking to her despite being quite aloof with new people. Molly sent photos each day which I really appreciated so that I knew that Cinnamon was being cared for in my absence! Thanks, Molly!”

“Jess was available with only a few days notice and was very prompt with all responses while scheduling. While last minute isn’t how I like to roll, our holiday plans changed unexpectedly. She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially cats. Over the years, I have become the go-to pet sitter within my friend group and regularly care for my friends’ cats while they are away on vacation. I also grew up informally pet sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments and routines. I currently care for my own cat, Reami, a 3-year-old Ragamuffin whom I have raised since he was a kitten. Reami has anxiety-related health issues that can contribute to urinary tract problems, so I am very familiar with providing attentive, patient, and consistent care for sensitive pets. Because of his needs, I understand the importance of maintaining a calm environment, monitoring behavior closely, sticking to routines, encouraging play and enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In addition to caring for Reami, I have also helped care for my roommates’ cats in the past, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and general companionship. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments — from shy and anxious cats to highly social and playful ones. While I mainly prefer cat sitting, I also have some experience with dogs, including walking friends’ dogs and taking them on hikes and outdoor outings. I am happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As a sitter, I prioritize communication, reliability, cleanliness, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. I am a graduate student whose lab is only a 15 minute walk away from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and except for few meetings throughout the week, my schedule is fully up to me. I am also able to leave at any point for short breaks to take pets out for walks/ check up on them. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I understand that pets — especially cats — can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I do my best to keep their schedule and environment consistent while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for. As the owner of an anxious cat with special care needs, I am very attentive to pets’ behavior, comfort, and stress levels. I value patience, cleanliness, reliability, and making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

“Katelyn took great care of my cat and bunny while we were away. They are both quite needy with attention and I could tell they were both very happy for her visits. Definitely recommend!”

About: An absolute dog lover 💗 !! I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs while they were traveling, usually for one to two weeks at a time, and I’ve also volunteered to walk dogs in my neighborhood. My dream has always been to have a dog of my own, but one of my family members is allergic. I’m currently a student and would love to meet more dogs and help care for your pets when you’re away or busy! I’m currently a student doing remote lab work, so my schedule is usually flexible during both weekdays and weekends, but availability may vary by day. For safety reasons, I prefer to complete all walks before dark, ideally before around 8 pm in the summer. I’m happy to discuss specific times in advance to make sure the schedule works for both of us! I don’t currently offer boarding. For walks, I usually prioritize the dog’s normal route and routine. If the owner is comfortable, I can also walk nearby parks, greenways, or quiet neighborhood areas while keeping safety and the dog’s comfort in mind.

“Emily was fantastic. Very friendly, and comforting- my cats loved her right away. Her updates were wonderful, and she went above and beyond cleaning a hairball 😭. Highly recommend ☺️”

“Alyssa always takes the best care of our 3 cats! She goes above and beyond to make sure they are doing well and keeps me posted the whole time. Will always be happy to book her again!”

“I really appreciated the notices of when Kelli was there to feed and check in on my cats. It gave me peace of mind knowing that they were cared for.”

About: I have spent 10 years of my life taking care of my own animals and families pet. On top of schooling to provide the best care possible. Currently part time, my availability is Sunday, Monday and Thursday. Hours can be interchangeable; never be afraid to ask :). Completely free those days to be attentive to your pets. I’ve had dogs all my life. I know how to play with animals for maximum exercise, can follow dietary instructions and have a deep rooted love for all species. Dogs are the babies in my home and receive the utmost care and love. Never worry about other dogs in the home or mistreatment from others.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal health and professional husbandry. Through my experience shadowing veterinarians, I’ve developed a trained eye for animal behavior and wellness. I know how to recognize the subtle signs of when a pet is feeling "off" or needs extra attention. I also have professional husbandry experience working with mice in a laboratory setting. This background means I am incredibly detail-oriented, strictly adhere to feeding and medication schedules, maintain rigorous hygiene protocols, and have a gentle touch with delicate or timid animals. I currently work remote for Yale as a PhD student, which allows me a great deal of flexibility to prioritize your pet's needs. On weekdays, I am fully available except maybe a few hours throughout the week for walks, playtime, and feedings. My weekends are completely open for overnight boarding, ensuring your pup is never left alone for long periods and receives constant companionship and care. My home is a 'pet-first' environment where safety and mental stimulation go hand-in-hand. For my two cats, I maintain a strict vertical-space setup and regular 'puzzle feeding' to keep them engaged. I am highly experienced in managing slow introductions and reading subtle body language to ensure all animals feel secure. I maintain a chemical-free cleaning routine to protect sensitive paws and noses, and I’m diligent about 'double-door' safety to prevent escapes. Whether it's ensuring fresh water fountains are clean or providing a quiet, crate-ready retreat, I treat every guest with the same meticulous care I give my own cats.
