Working with Shay is a pleasure and allowed us to feel perfectly comfortable entrusting our cat Siren to her care. She took time to meet us beforehand and to ensure that she knew all of the necessary details. She spent time with Siren and sent us pictures and updates. Shay is responsive and caring. We highly recommend her and will definitely request to work with her again.

Andy was great with my spicy Calico and even got her to take treats from him, which is no small feat. He was prompt with the reports and took lots of photos, and was very helpful in the emergency I was dealing with. Absolutely would book him again.

Had a great experience with Lucy minding my duo. On time, sent good updates, took care of everything I described, and clearly gave my cats sweet attention. Will definitely consider for my next trip.

Angel went above and beyond in her care for our pets. One of our Guinea Pigs was actually pregnant and gave birth while we were away- none of us expected or had experienced this before- and Angel herself works mostly with cats and dogs but she handled it like a pro! She took such great care of all of the babies and sent us pictures and videos every day as requested, which was so fun for my kids because they wanted to be there. She bought more veggies for them as needed and kept their cages very clean. I will definitely be using Angel again in the future and I highly recommend her!

Tracy took care of my rabbits when my family was having an emergeny and I couldnt have asked for someone more perfect for the job to look after them while we were away even without meeting us last minute. She had no problems with getting access to our home and kept in touch througout the whole visit reassuring me and my gf that our pets are in good hands. Highly recommend 👌

Amy did a lovely job. She was responsive, friendly, consistent, sent photos and details every day, and took time to play with our lonely, playful kitty. The other one hid, but that's what we expected. I felt like I could relax and trust our fur babies were being looked after -- would definitely book Amy again.

About: Hi besties! 🐾 :D Thank you for giving me a chance! 😊 I know it can feel like a lot to trust someone with your fur baby—but given the opportunity, I promise to treat them with all the love, care, and attention they deserve! 💖 A little about me—I feed the neighborhood cats and I'm a foster parent with the ASPCA, so caring for animals is truly at the heart of what I do. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, and I'll be fully present and doting while you're away. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands! 🐾 I'm so excited to care and meet you and your cute baby (long-term or short-term, whichever suits you)! Whether you have a cat, a dog, or both, my goal is simple: to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely cared for while you're away. 💗 I've been a cat owner for almost 10 years—my sweet baby is literally the love of my life, and I know just how special that bond is. I follow him everywhere, and my favorite thing is snuggling together as we fall asleep. I understand the trust you're placing on me, and I don't take that lightly. From playtime and snuggles to keeping their routine consistent, I'll treat your cat like the royalty they are. 💕 I love dogs too! I've walked dogs before and genuinely enjoyed every moment with them. While I'm still building my experience with dogs, I'm attentive, caring, and will follow your instructions because no one knows your baby better than you. Whether it's sticking to their routine, practicing commands, or just making sure they get all the love and exercise they need—I've got your dog and yours back! 💛 If you have any requests, you can always message me! I'd love to help and make accommodations. ✨ I'm also a licensed esthetician specializing in waxing, and like so many others right now, I'm navigating a tough job market. Cat and dog care is such a joyful way to connect with precious babies (and meet awesome people like you!) while I work toward opening my own business. So if you're looking for someone to love on your baby, booking with me means you're also supporting a local small business owner chasing her dream. So if you can support me along the way, that would just be purrfect! 💖 :D If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and who will genuinely adore your baby, I'd be so honored to meet you both. Let's link! :D I'm available pretty much anytime since I'm currently looking for work as a licensed waxer. So if you ever need a wax too—I'm here! :D I have the sweetest little cat at home and we're literally attached at the hip—I follow him around everywhere and we spend all our time cuddling, watching TV, and just being together. I can't function without him fr so he's always by my side lol. I love dogs too and have walked them before—I'm still learning but I'm super caring and will treat your baby with just as much love. I know pets need their space sometimes, so I'm good at reading (especially cats) their mood—whether they wanna play, cuddle, or just have me sit nearby and exist with them. I'll bring that same energy and care to your baby too! ✨

My dogs became aggressive with each other Not Julie our awesome Rover person. After they separated she took all the proper measures and best practices - I was on a cruise - so I was unreachable -she called my emergency contact - she took one of the dogs to the Veterinary hospital to ensure all was well. - she kept in constant contact with my emergency contact a Nurse for over 10 years. - she called the next morning to ensure the dogs were ok and being well cared for. - SHE is amazing -

Kaley was absolutely wonderful. We felt so at ease having her do our drop in visits while we were on vacation away from our sweet cat Snowy for multiple weeks. Every single day during their visit Kaley sent a new picture of Snowy which was wonderful and so comforting to be able to have photographic evidence every day showing us how happy and healthy Snowy looked. We are beyond grateful that we now have a cat sitter we can count on for all of our pets needs. We look forward to working with Kaley again in the future. We highly recommend her services. She is friendly, upbeat, on time, dependable, trustworthy, and a true animal lover. Thanks again Kaley!!!

I'm so glad to have met Jennifer! She provides excellent care to my cats as our drop-in sitter, especially that one of my cats fractured his leg and needed additional support! She is an excellent communicator and always makes sure to give the cats what they need. They love playing with her and she is very attuned to their different personalities. Any day that Jennifer can come in makes me feel calmer knowing that their needs will be met while I am at work

After a couple of cat visit bookings, Sunny has proven to be the absolute best cat sitter we could ever ask for! She's super attentive, detail oriented, and has NEVER let us down! Her notes are very descriptive and she has a very open line of communication. We love Sunny and will always be using her services for any of our vacas! Also, our fur baby loves her!!
