“Emily was AWESOME! Very conscientious during our meet and greet, took great notes! She took such good care of my cat Sasha while I was out of town for a weekend and sent great pictures of them playing. I had a better trip knowing my fur baby was in great hand. I would highly recommend Emily and look forward to booking with her again!”
“She was a great person to come see my cats. I'd call myself and pets on the higher maintenance type of situation and she was able to hand it all like a champ. She had to medicate 2 of them and was successful, spending how ever much time she needed to get them to take their meds. Very communicative and able to follow directions!”
“Tigue is amazing with my orange. He loves her so much! Tigue rocks him every night and he trusts her 100%. Rest assured she will Love your pets as much as she loves her own. It’s a 200% yes with rebooking.”
“Izzy was so nice and took my booking at the last minute which I so appreciated! My mom met with her since I left before she could meet up, and also had nothing but good things to say. She came around the same time every day, took pictures of my cat for me (there is separation anxiety but it's not my cat), and gave her some pets as well as medication. My cat is usually very nervous and doesn't come out for just anyone, but she came out for Izzy. She also checked on my fish when we needed to determine if the water was low. Thank you, Izzy! I'll be booking again!”
“Brooke is the best pet sitter ever 😻😸. She took care of our cat, Iva, while we visited our daughter. Every day we received lots of pictures and videos of Iva eating, playing, and cuddling. Iva was calm and happy when we returned. She even checked my plants for me!”
“Kara was amazingly responsive and jumped in to help me out in a pinch last-minute. She sent me a photo when she was snuggling with my girl, Z. I could tell my cat was in better spirits having had the drop-in while I was gone ? definitely will be reaching out again and would recommend Kara.”
“Noemi was great! She took care of our two Bengal cats while on vacation, and it was a huge relief to have our anxious boy be so relaxed when we came home. The litterbox was clean, and we received regular updates and photos. We highly recommend her!”
“Heather is the best!! My cats were well taken care of. I she left them a few new toys and even got the shy one to come out and be trust her! A true blessing to have met heather.”
About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.
“Patricia helped me out on very short notice, which was a great relief even before she began care. She provided care based on written communication, without our having opportunity to do a meet and greet. This was a first for me and my 70-pound, highly energetic dog. She pulled it off in exemplary fashion, as far as I can tell (my dog is alive and well!). She was punctual enough and, between my instructions and her intuition, there was hardly a hitch. I think you and your dog will be in very good hands.”
“I couldn't be happier with Serenity's care for my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. It was clear she has a natural love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Serenity sent regular updates, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Lynn was so great with our cats! She took care of all their needs and gave them plenty of love. She made sure to play with our youngest a ton to get that kitten energy out, and she was patient and comforting to our older (extremely shy) cat. We're so happy with our experience with Lynn and we'll definitely be calling on her next time we need a sitter. Thanks Lynn!!”
“Sarah was such a great sitter for my cat! She’s very knowledgeable about taking care of pets and would go above and beyond in keeping my cat’s space clean. Would totally book her again as a sitter!”
“Cassandra was absolutely wonderful for my two cats while I was away. She left such detailed updates, provided amazing pictures & and me feel as though I was still with them day to day. Couldn't have asked for a better Rover!!! Thank you 🙌🏽🐱🤍”
