“Tom and Erica are great! They send pics of Kitty everyday, are dependable, caring and capable of giving Kitty her insulin shots twice a day. Very grateful for their care while we are away. We are a repeat family.”
“Melissa was so communicative and helpful throughout the whole process! One of our cats had been sick about a week before our trip, and I felt super comfortable leaving her with Melissa. I appreciated the regular updates and photos!”
“Amazing communication and timing. She’s great!”
“Heather was perfect for our two kittens. They got all the playtime they needed during our vacation and she took care of any mischief they got into! We will undoubtedly use her services again in the future.”
“Terry took my booking only 2 days before I needed a sitter and she had arranged a time to meet her the very next day. She was extremely thorough throughout the entire process giving a comprehensive review of how my cat was doing and providing dozens of pictures along the way. I couldn't recommend her enough.”
“Faith took amazing care of my cat while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
“Cayton did a great job taking care of my cat Rudy. She is very capable at giving medication. Rudy was always happy to see her. Cayton also brought in the package that was sitting on my front step. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need care for Rudy while I'm away! I'd recommend her to anybody needing pet care.”
“Sara was incredibly professional and appeased all my needy cat mom wants. I so appreciate her time and am so happy to have found a kind and reliable sitter for our cats when we’re out of town.”
About: We have two Grandogs which we are so in love with, however we don’t do any training. We’re mostly in charge of feeding, walks, fetch and love! My schedule varies week to week and allows plenty of time to care for your pet. Each visit will ensure they have the necessities they need as well as lots of playing, pets and purrs! Kitties will be checked on at each visit to make sure they have plenty of food and water. In addition to their basic needs, they will be observed to ensure there are no obvious injuries (limping, wounds, etc). Any concerns will immediately be reported to Parents.
About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. I will be working part time over the summer (8-12 Monday-Thursday) so I will have afternoons and nights available during the week. I also have most weekends free. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.
“Carolyn was so kind and fun to work with. She left hilarious and detailed reports and selfies with our kitties and took extra care to follow our specific needs to keep them separated. She was very respectful and caring during our meet and greet and communicative during the planning.”
“Molly came for a meet and greet before her visit. My girls loved her! When she checked in she send me updates and pics...gave me complete peace of mind. I would definitely use Molly again?”
“Annette is awesome!!! She took care of my cats, last minute when I was leaving town and thought I had planned for everything. She saved my situation. Highly recommended!!!”
About: I ensure the highest quality care for my own pets, and I will make it my priority to do the same for yours! As long as I can remember I’ve had pets, and they’ve always been a passion of mine. I work full time from home during the week until 5pm! I am able to provide drop in visits in the evenings and then multiple times a day on weekends. I am unable to accept pets in my own home at the moment, however what ever you need done within your own home I will make sure is done correctly and in a timely manner!
“Sophie was a reliable and efficient cat sitter. I appreciated all of the photos she sent me, not only documenting her tasks but making me comfortable that they were indeed receiving good care. I would strongly recommend Sophie.”
“Taylor is reliable and caring. We feel completely at ease when our beloved pets are in her expert care.”
“Emily was great! We did a meet and greet before the day of the check-in to make sure Maple (our dog) could warm up and be comfortable with her. She sent us pictures of Maple during the check-in and let us know Maple was behaved on her walk. We will definitely use Emily again when the opportunity presents! Thank you so much Emily!!!”
About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.
