Nicole was wonderful! She had such a great manner with my very shy cat, who, instead of hiding as usual, instead started eating treats out of Nicole's hand the first time they met. I really appreciated Nicole's detailed daily check-ins and the care that she showed my cat. She is also a lovely person and great to interact with. I recommend her highly and will definitely be booking with her again!

Kelli was exactly what we are looking for! She followed all of our instructions and made some helpful suggestions that improved the life of our cat without being imposing. She even brought some new litter when we ran out! And she was able to provide insulin injections with very minor instruction. I will continue to trust her with the life and well being of our cat.

About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.

Carole is a thorough and thoughtful sitter! She treats our lovely, but admittedly feisty, cat with plenty of patience and compassion. She’s flexible with great problem-solving skills, and her reports are consistent and detailed. We’ve used her twice for 10+ day trips and wouldn’t hesitate to request her services again!

CJ was such a wonderful sitter for my 2 kitties! I was nervous to leave my cats for so long over the holidays, but CJ sent updates and photos everyday that helped ease my anxiety. Even my super shy cat felt comfortable around CJ. I super appreciate CJ’s clear communication, reliability, and clear love of all animals.

Melissa sought to go beyond in caring for my cat. She even returned one day to check on his food and water when I was worried it might be low. She played with him and his toys and sent me pictures that he was doing well. I will be asking for her help again!

I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals. I felt relaxed and comfortable while being away from my fur baby. As this was the first trip I have been able to take I will be definitely rebooking with Bailee in the future! She was an amazing provider and very informative! Followed all directions perfectly!

About: I've had cats in my life ever since I was 10 years old. Bear and Chip are two of the more important things in my life who I grew up with and took care of all the way until I moved out of my parents house a few years ago. I learned to take care of pets at a really young age because of them, and now, I rescued two cats on my own with my fiancé whom we love and adore (Benji and Clementine). I'd love to be able to extend that care onto your pets as I am super passionate about making sure pets are loved and supported properly. I work from home, so am very flexible when it comes to drop in visits or walking your dog throughout the week or on the weekends! In my home I make sure my pets are on really good terms with each other first and foremost. We give them plenty of entertainment and stimulation to make sure they aren't bored and I definitely go out of my way most of my time to make sure they're loved and comfortable in our home. In terms of being in other people's places, I can adapt very easily and know when a cat is comfortable or not. I will never be too overbearing to a pet when I know there isn't full trust there but I will still make sure they're getting the care they need.

About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I give every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pup’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience, structure, potty training support, and consistent reinforcement of basic commands, as well as senior dogs who may require slower walks, medication reminders, extra comfort, or mobility support. I’m reliable, communicative, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment tailored to them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their care a priority in my schedule. I plan my days to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to accommodate different routines and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, maintaining a puppy’s training schedule, or providing a calm, comfortable environment for a senior pet, I make sure each animal receives consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and bedtime habits to help reduce stress and keep them happy. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and space to relax. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also separate pets when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly respond to any changes or needs. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Melissa was wonderful with our cats! I've always been hesitant to leave them with someone who hasn't previously experienced them, due to their special food needs and daily meds, but Melissa made them seem like no big deal. We arrived home to two well-cared for cats :) I would absolutely book Melissa again and recommend her to others!

Sara is very attentive and conscientious which makes her trustworthy. She was flexible in scheduling to meet everybody's needs. She took really good care of my cat. I could tell, because when my cat has had a good sitter, she is glad to see me when I get home but not frantic for my attention. Finally, Sara got my cat to play in a way I haven't been able to do (and still can't!) which goes to show that she is a true cat person. (I'm sure she takes good care of dogs, too.) I recommend Sara without hesitation.
