“Paola has watched my cat two times now, and both times went very well. She is great with communication, and always sends updates with cute videos/photographs. I feel relieved to have found her for when I am out of town!”
“Tamara and Nicholas are cat whisperers. They had my very shy girl cat eating from their hands, and my shy, low energy boy cat playing with a feather toy. The fact that my cats even came out of hiding is a testament to Tamara and Nicholas's amazingness. Your pets and home will be in good hands with these very lovely kind people. I feel very lucky to have found Tamara and Nicholas and I highly recommend. Mary”
About: I have hands-on experience dog walking and pet sitting, including caring for two dogs over the past year who were easily stressed. That taught me how to stay patient, calm, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I handled their meals, gave treats, and made sure they felt comfortable and safe. I also have pets of my own, including two corgis and a cat I rescued in 2021. My dogs are very active, so I’m used to daily walks, playtime, and keeping pets engaged. I always make sure pets are well cared for, with plenty of attention and comfort. They honestly get treated like royalty. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the day for visits, walks, and playtime. I make sure each pet gets attention, stays on their routine, and feels comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and taken care of. I follow their routine and pay attention to what they need. In my home, pets will be kept completely separate from my pets, so there is no contact. I also have a big fenced front and back yard for safe outdoor time. I’m very patient and make sure every pet is cared for and supervised, and the same goes for caring for them in their home.
About: I’m a life long dog lover and miss hanging out with dogs everyday since I’ve moved out! I’m doing to this to pay for my upcoming wedding! I’m working part time at my grandfathers business and have lots of flexibility especially on Mondays and Wednesdays! My weekends are also super flexible! I’m clean and attentive to your surroundings with your dogs. I love playing and running around with them and going on lots of walks!
“Donna was an absolute blessing while caring for my mother’s cat, Sam. From the start, she showed incredible flexibility, graciously accommodating schedule changes and making the entire process stress-free for our family. What truly stood out was her genuine care and compassion. She didn’t just stop by to complete basic tasks—she spent meaningful time with Sam, making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. It was clear that she treated him as if he were her own, which meant so much to us. Donna was also consistently reliable and dependable. She showed up exactly as promised, followed all instructions carefully, and kept us updated with thoughtful messages that reassured us Sam was doing well. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She watched our cat, Shrimp Toast, over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were out of town visiting family, and we felt SO at ease. She communicated great with us, provided us the cutest pictures of Shrimp Toast, was considerate, and most of all, our cat loved her! I look forward to having the peace of mind I did on this trip as I do my next :)”
“Debbie was a fantastic sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and sent adorable photos every day while I was away! She played with the cat with his favorite toy, and was wonderful company to him. I would give her ten stars if I could!! I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your pet.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was little, and there’s rarely been a time I didn’t have a pet of my own to care for. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting (both cats and dogs) from neighbors and friends and am looking forward to doing so for your fur babies too! I work from home as an artist which leaves me with a very flexible schedule to give your pets the attention and care that they need. Most of my availability is weekdays but it changes week to week. The pet care I offer includes walks and drop-in visits. You can rest assured your pets will be loved and well taken care of with me. Please communicate any preferences or concerns and I will do my best to accommodate!
“June was a fantastic pet sitter! Took great care of my cats, with attention, love and photos of how they were doing while I was away. I could not have asked for a better caregiver, and would highly recommend her!”
“This is my third time using Erinn and she’s fantastic - my cats absolutely love her and she takes excellent care of them every time. Highly recommend her reliable and loving pet care services!”
“My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!”
