4. Victoria C.
“Victoria was great! She responded quickly and was available for a last minute booking. She did a meet and greet with my 2 cats and answered all my questions. She even went the extra mile to set out my garbage can when I asked her. I love the communication through the app and the multiple photos I received daily. I will definitely be booking through her again in the future if she is available when needed.”

8. Emma W.
About: I’ve been watching fur babies since 2007! I provide pet sitting in my home. I have owned almost every kind of pet at some point and can care for them all. All I ask is that food is provided or extra money to purchase more (if need be). Most of my experience is with cats and dogs. If an animal is on medication then I would need instructions along with the medicine. I do have experience administering medications for a handful of previous jobs. I have a spacious townhome where your pet would stay with a fenced yard. I hope you consider me as an option :) I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30-3:30 and I get an hour every day for lunch. I’m always available from Friday to Sunday so weekends work very well for me and that’s typically when I’ll go on lengthier walks to get some serious exercise in. I have a fenced in yard and two well loved fur babies to keep your pup company while I work during the day. I always come home for lunch and my husband is home by 11am to take care of the animals and our child.
9. Kathleen D.
“Kathleen did an amazing job for our three fur babies! Our senior Wally got to get out on regular walks which was awesome for him while Dad was out of town. They enjoyed greeting Kathleen when she’d stop by ❤️ she was very communicative and we would absolutely have her watch them again.”
10. Sinead B.
“Sinead was an excellent sitter for our elderly cat. She was very reliable, and completed the daily tasks as requested. Sinead and our kitty seemed to really connect. Sinead also sent photos and communicated consistently about her visits. We felt confident that our cat was well cared for and had a comforting companion with Sinead. We would definitely recommend her!”
11. Loren G.
“Loren was great with my two high energy pups. I really appreciated all the communication and updates. I’ll definitely be asking her to help with them again. Thanks!”
12. Maxwell H.
“Max is reliable and responsible and has a great love for animals. He’s on time, clearly communicates and has lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds (parakeets, ducks, chickens and geese), guinea pigs and fish.”
13. Lauren C.
“Lauren did some daily stop in visits to feed our rabbits while we were out of town. She did a great job and was very flexible when our return plans got delayed. Thank you Lauren!”
14. Martin K.
“Martin is amazing with dogs of all kinds. I doubt he has ever met a dog that he didn’t loved and that didn’t love him. He is punctual, communicative, and obviously cares a lot for the wellbeing of our furry friends. Martin has been helping me to walk and take care of my dog while I am away or busy for over 18 months and I trust him more with my baby than anyone else. Do not hesitate to work with Martin if you get the opportunity!”
15. Maya W.
“Maya is a responsible young woman! She was great with my two dogs. Was able to fit to their schedule with her flexible one. Maya is a perfect fit!”
16. Hope M.
“Hope is very responsible and responsive. My fur daughter Jackie was so stoked to have Hope and her boyfriend come hang out with her for some time during the day while I worked. I'm looking forward to having Hope watch Jackie every week. My baby seemed very happy with her new friends and it really helps her temperament to not be alone all day.”
17. Katraena R.
“She was absolutely wonderful. She was able to soothe my dog right away. She is responsible. I will ask her to help me again.”
18. Sydney S.
“Took great care of my cat while I was out of town. Will definitely book again.”
19. Valeryan S.
“Val is truly a pet-whisperer. He instinctively and intuitively understands pets in a way beyond what most of us can perceive. He cares for them with a depth of love, warmth and deep compassion. He also understands that pets need boundaries and guidance. I have seen him work with very difficult dogs and bring about incredible change. It’s an energy he carries. You will absolutely love him and so will your cat, dog or other pet! Highly, highly recommended!!!”
20. Rachael B.
“Raechel is a very caring sitter and went out of her way to understand what my cat Huckleberry would enjoy and tailored her visits to his needs. She is very passionate about her work and highly recommended!”
