“We recently had Tyler check in on our cat, Woozy, while we were getting married, and he did an amazing job! From the start, he was incredibly reliable and attentive to all of Woozy’s needs, especially since Woozy can be shyer to strangers. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during such an important time. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter, and absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy, professional pet care!”


“Solaima was very accommodating for a last-minute drop in on our kitties! She gave extremely detailed updates & feedback and was very easy to work with. We strongly recommend her for your pets!”


“Lily was great! She dropped in daily to check on my cat while I was out of town for eight days, and I returned to find a happy, healthy, and well-fed kitty. Lily was consistent with her visit times and sent a bunch of pictures each day, which meant I didn't have to stress over whether and when she was going to stop by. I will absolutely be using Lily's services again the next time I go on vacation, and you should book her too!”


“Mei provided exceptional care for our three cats during a recent trip. Unlike previous sitters, she spent quality time playing with them and giving affection, not just handling the basics. And her detailed reports showed how each cat was doing. The peace of mind was invaluable! Highly recommend booking Mei if you want to leave your fur babies in good hands, I know I will!”


“Annaliese was great! She was on time for each visit to check on and give some attention and let's to our 4 cats. It was a peace of mind knowing that someone was visiting with them while we were away. Definitely would book again!”


“Anna took excellent care of my cat Margaret - Margaret is usually very shy around new people but I was able to see through the photos shared each day that she warmed up to her quickly and was in great hands!”


“Katie is wonderful! This is our second booking with her, she is responsive, caring & our cats love her. She sends lots of photos which makes us miss our fur babies just a little less while we are away.”

“Taylor did a wonderful job watching my 4 year old cat, Fuzzy. Fuz had a great time while I was out of town and got plenty of pets and snuggles. She was very communicative and trustworthy. I would definitely book Taylor again!”

“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Nico! She has cared for him over multiple days, and I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Emily handled both oral meds and injections with complete confidence and care. She also kept me consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled cat sitter—especially if your cat needs a little extra medical attention.”


“I had never hired a pet sitter before and was feeling pretty anxious about leaving my cat while I went out of the country. But Ana was amazing from the start! She came over to meet my cat, asked all the right questions about her care, and made sure she knew exactly what to do to keep her happy and comfortable. Right away, I felt much more at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. While I was away, Ana sent me lots of pictures and updates, which made me feel so much better. When I returned, my apartment was neat and clean, and my cat seemed totally content—not stressed at all. I could tell that Ana had spent time playing with her and checking in regularly, so she didn’t get too lonely. I’m really grateful to Ana for taking such great care of my cat, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


“Cat and Donavan were amazing with my two cats! They followed all instructions, kept me updated with photos, and my cats warmed up to them right away. I came home to happy and relaxed cats. Highly recommend their care!”


“This is the second time that Savannah has watched our pet. She is always very communicative and punctual in all her check ins. She sent us lots of photos of our furry one with each visit. I also appreciated Savannah's flexibility when we had to add some extra days beyond the booking . Thank you for all you have done for Ms. B!”


“Cora & Joe are always so great. We had a last minute drop in request and they were able to come. Our mind is always at ease knowing that they will take great care of our babies.”


“Sabrina was wonderful! She was communicative and she took great care of my cats. She even snapped some mini Polaroid pictures of them which she left for me with a lovely note. I will definitely book Sabrina again.”


About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including multiple senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. My entire family has had, or currently has dogs, so I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! In the past, I've trained my own dog to sit, lay down, shake, and even dance—so I know how much time, love, and patience pets need. I also understand how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, and reliable care. My wife and I dream of one day owning a personal farm where we can give even more animals a loving home. Until then, I’m here to provide your pets with the next best thing—a safe, happy, and caring environment. I'm a musician, so my schedule is a bit more flexible and less traditional—which works perfectly for giving your pet the care they need, even on short notice. I'm most available during the day, but I understand that things can change quickly in life, so I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests too. Whether it's a quick walk or some quality time while you're away, I’m here to help keep your pet happy and comfortable! When I found my dog, Rhythm, in college, she quickly became my best friend and my whole world. From the start, I felt a deep responsibility to keep her safe—like I was the only one who truly could. That experience taught me how important trust is when it comes to our pets. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, which is why I prioritize safety and care above all else. Every pet is different and deserves personalized attention, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

“Cecilia was amazing with Rusty & Ronnie. She was very attentive when it came to feeding, sending us funny pictures while away, & gaining the trust of our shy cat!”


About: I grew up on a horse farm where daily life revolved around caring for animals—early mornings, feeding schedules, grooming, walking, and lots of love. From barn cats to loyal farm dogs, I learned responsibility and compassion for animals at a young age. I’ve always had pets of my own, including both dogs and cats, and I’m currently a proud cat parent to my sweet (and very spoiled!) feline. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet—and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, a playful walk, or just someone who truly “gets” them, I’m here to help. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and happy to follow any routine or special care instructions you provide. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Hi there! I’m a full-time teacher with a lifelong love for animals and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, loving care for your pets. During the week, I’m available after 3:30 PM, perfect for afternoon walks, check-ins, or evening care. On weekends, I have open availability, so whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’ve got you covered. With a background in education, I bring the same patience, structure, and attentiveness to pet care as I do to the classroom. I’ve grown up around cats and dogs and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine, administer meds if needed, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry friend! I always ensure pets have the best possible care. I can clean litter boxes, feed pets, give medication, walk dogs etc.. It’s important to me to ensure the pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from curious kittens to playful young adults. Having been a cat owner myself, I understand their quirks, routines, and the importance of keeping them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to each cat’s personality, whether they need active playtime, quiet companionship, or special care like feeding schedules or medications. I treat every cat as if they were my own, with patience, love, and gentle attention. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 9–5, but I’m available for drop-in visits before or after work and on weekends. For boarding, cats have my spacious apartment to explore, and I’m home mornings, evenings, and weekends to give them plenty of care, playtime, and attention. Whether I’m stopping by your home or hosting in mine, I make sure each cat’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m caring for cats in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my large apartment, they have plenty of space to explore, cozy spots to rest, and a consistent feeding and litter-cleaning routine. During drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely, from meals and fresh water to playtime and litter care, so their routine stays the same. No matter the setting, I spend time giving them attention and affection, and I always send photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

He did a wonderful job caring for my pets and even gave medication to my new kitten, who had a cold. I usually leave detailed instructions for new sitters, but due to the time crunch, I wasn’t able to prepare much. Still, Rye handled everything effortlessly. It was clear right away that he knew what he was doing, which really put me at ease. He also sent updates and photos while I was away, and I returned to two very happy pets. Rye was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be using his services again. 10/10!”
