“Raquel took care of my little 1 year old kitty cat Minuit for 5 days. She was very thorough with updates and also sent a lot of pics and videos! Minuit looked very happy :). This was the longest I’ve been away from Minuit and Raquel made my trip stress-free. Highly recommend Raquel to take care of your pets, book her!”

About: I had dogs for the first 24 years of my life, and believe no time spent with animals is wasted. I've cat sit and roomed with cats in the past and now love them just as much. I've worked with various animals throughout my life, from working at a horseback riding camp, to a pet store, to an animal sanctuary. my weekends are Sunday-Monday. I work as an archivist at a museum 9-5 during the week, but I'm still happy to take evening/nighttime bookings on work days. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals I've been a pet owner most of my life, and an animal lover for all of it. I've worked with animals across multiple jobs in my life. All animals have unique personalities, so adaptation and individualized care is very important to me. My roommates and I do not have any pets currently. We keep a clean and cozy spacious apartment near Elizabeth Park.
“Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.”

“Jannette and her partner is wonderful. I love the fact that they are always in communication about how my dog Venus is doing on a walk. They take great care of her.”

“I had a day trip into the city and needed someone to stop by my house to take the dogs out and be with them for a short period of time. Thankfully Joanna was able to help out and allowed me to be gone for most of the day. Nice to have someone who is responsible and can be trusted. Thanks again Joanna!”

Joanna was great and very accommodating, especially on short notice. She took the time to meet our pets beforehand and understand their routines, feeding, and individual needs. She stayed with them for a few hours, made sure they were fed and let outside, and kept us updated with pictures. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and took great care of everyone. We really appreciated her help and would definitely use her again!

Amelia was a fabulous sitter for my kitty! We met up before my trip, and she asked all of the important questions that I didn't think to bring up, which made me confident that she was well-experienced and prepared! She is so sweet and will definitely be booking with her again!

Alex helped us out last minute when another sitter cancelled, and she was amazing with my super anxious pup! Maggie warmed up to her very quickly on our meet and greet, and Alex was so patient and sweet with her during the visit. She also sent great updates with photos/videos, I am always nervous leaving Maggie alone but Alex made it a very low-stress experience!

Brittany was fantastic! She kept me updated with photos and texts during each visit, followed my cat’s feeding instructions exactly, and my cat was clearly comfortable with her. Made it so easy to relax while I was away. Would book Brittany again without hesitation

Matt and Mary Beth dropped in on Ipo several times over the course of three days while we had long days out of the house. From the initial meet and greet Ipo loved them and we trusted them to take good care of him. They were so attentive and asked all the right questions. After each visit they sent us an update and plenty of pictures of Ipo basking in their attention. Every night when we got home we could tell that he had been taken great care of. He even ate dinner for them no problem, which is sometimes a struggle. We’re over the moon with how well it went and we will definitely be using Matt & Mary Beth in the future!!

Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex.
