1. Erica & Thomas C.

“Erica is always a great sitter for our 2 kitties! She keeps me apprised about everything, takes photos so I know my cats are doing well, and is very reliable!”


2. Angelle S.

“Angelle kept my two cats well fed and cared for! Communication was great, and I appreciated the pics that reassured me all was well in my absence.”


3. Melissa C.

“Melissa was amazing and took excellent care of our three babies while we were gone for three weeks! We have one very shy boy who normally hides when there are new people around but he loved her visits, coming up to her for treats! That tells me all I need to know about Melissa and the love she gave them while we were gone. Thank you so much Melissa! ❤️”


4. Terry S.


“Terry does such a great job making our cat feel loved and sends us very detailed reports to let us know how our cat is doing! We always feel safe & comfortable leaving our pet’s care in her hands :)”


5. Sara G.

“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.”


6. Cayton M.

“I can't say enough great things about Cayton! We have a different type of situation with our dog Jax as he is paralyzed and has no use of his back legs. This leaves him incontinent so we were very nervous booking anyone just knowing that it's a little difficult to express jaxs bladder. Cayton had some previous experience with bladder expression but on a female. So it's a little different. Even though it was a learning curve, Cayton didn't give up and really came through for us! It gave us peace of mind knowing that she was determined to figure out how to express our dogs bladder and we will definitely be booking with her again. Just knowing she has jaxs best interest at heart and really did care for him was really nice to see as this was our first time leaving him with anyone other than family.”


7. Anna F.

“Anna is fantastic! She went above and beyond taking care of our cat sushi and making sure he was well taken care of. He took a liking to her straight away. She truly has done a wonderful job. I would recommend Anna to anyone! We have definitely found our new cat sitter!”


8. Tina B.

“A wonderful and communicative sitter! Tina took great care of my dogs and cat while I was away for the day! I highly recommend her as your pet care person. I will definitely be using her again!”


9. Tara S.

“Tara is great!! Punctual, reliable and Daisy loves her.”


10. Carolyn C.

“Carolyn was fantastic! This was the first time we used a cat sitter while we were away, but we had nothing to worry about with Carolyn. She was so great with our cat- she really took lots of time with him and made him feel comfortable and loved while we were gone. She kept us updated each day (and made us laugh with her daily reports and photos of our cat). Would highly recommend Carolyn!”


11. Ashley P.

“Ashley was amazing and took the best care of our fur baby! Our kitty was comfortable with her right from the get go. She sent us video and photo check ins everyday that put our minds at ease while we were away. We really felt Huey was in the best hands.”


12. Faith L.

17. Garret N.
About: I’ve had either a dog, a cat, or sometimes both all throughout my life, and take care of my friends dog on occasion! I love animals, and my pets have always been a huge part of my life. You can even ask my cat, Lily! I’m currently looking for full time work, however in the mean time I’m looking to make some extra money. As of now I have a lot of free time, but that could change. I will be continuing to do this on the weekends even after I find a full time position In my own home, my cat has pretty free rain to go inside and outside, though we bring her in after it gets later. In your home, it’s however you would like me to! They’re your pets, and the last thing I want to do is impose on any habits you might be building for them


18. Taylor H.

“Taylor was excellent with moose! Did a great job”

20. Catherine H.
“Catherine watched my dog while I was away and she did an amazing job. She kept in contact with me and gave my dog lots of love and affection. I highly recommend her!”
