“Stephanie did a great job with Rocky. I really appreciated all the pictures she took of him- helped me miss him less when I was away and loved seeing him happy and enjoying Stephanie’s company”

“Megan did a great job watching our two cats. She was very reliable, and made fast friends with both cats. Would definitely book again! She also made sure the apartment was clean and watched over our houseplants as well”

“I am so happy I left my two cats with Abdelkader! It was my first trip away from my boys since I adopted them and I was an anxious mess, but Abdelkader eased my tension because he was just so wonderful with my boys. They loved him and I came back home to some very happy cats. I appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing my sweet boys were happy and well cared for.”

“Melissa went above and beyond when caring for my cat. She was a very friendly and calm presence for my senior cat. She communicated clearly and even brought in my packages without me asking! Highly recommend!!”

“Cheryl was truly amazing! I needed a sitter two days in a row for a few hours for my foster dog Abi who has separation anxiety. Cheryl came over the day before to meet Abi and make sure Abi felt comfortable around her. While Cheryl was with Abi, she was super communicative, sending great photos and videos throughout her stay. She walked and fed Abi and got her to come out of her shell. Abi was cuddling up with her and seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home. Cheryl is the best!”

About: Ever since I founded my personal pet sitting business, Creature Comfort, back at home, I have found a new love for all things animals. In the past 3 years, I have gained the skills needed to treat animals with the upmost care, as if they were my own. I have a summer job that requires 20 hours a week, but I am pretty flexible for mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am also flexible in terms of length of walks, feeding, and putting to bed. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection and supervision. I also follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, training routines, or behavioral preferences.
“Clifford did such a fantastic job looking after my cats while I was away! He provided thorough updates, followed care instructions to a tee, and gave my cats so much affection. He truly went the extra mile, and I cannot recommend him enough!”

“Gigi dropped in on my cat for several days. She was super responsive and on top of things. When I returned, I could tell that my cat was well cared for while I was gone. I would recommend Gigi to anybody!”

“Onyx is amazing with our boys, and does a fantastic job handling all the meds for my senior cat. They love her too, and I never need to worry about leaving them with her while I'm out of town!”

“Christopher was so great with our cats! He came for drop in visits to feed and play with our cats and was always on time and communicative. We loved the updates throughout and came home to two happy and healthy cats!”


About: I grew up with both cats and dogs and have been around animals my entire life. My family has three cats at home, and not being able to have pets in the city is genuinely one of the hardest parts of the move. Pet sitting and walking is my way of staying connected to that. I’m active by nature and work at a Pilates studio, so your dog will always have an energetic, attentive person on the other end of the leash. I work at a Pilates studio and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine regularly. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting depending on the day, and I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. Between shelter volunteering and helping foster dogs in college, I’ve handled animals in all kinds of situations and environments. I treat every animal like my own, and having grown up with both cats and dogs, I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, whether that’s a shy cat or a high-energy pup. I’m attentive, calm, and genuinely invested in making sure your pet feels safe and loved for while you’re away.
“Kristen was spectacular. Super communicative and easy to reach, great updates, adorable pictures, and always punctual (and if running early/late always let me know). And most importantly I came back to happy and well cared for kitties. Would 100% book Kristen again and absolutely would recommend her to anyone else.”
“Nicole did amazing! She took such great care of Willow and did great with keeping us updated :). Made my trip very relaxing knowing willow was being taken care of by Nicole.”


“I have officially lost count of exactly how many times I’ve booked Kayla, but the next time I need a cat sitter, I can guarantee it’ll be one more. Kayla is the best, undisputed.”

“Nicole was so amazing! My cat is very shy with new people but Nicole managed to make her so comfortable and she warmed right up to her! She sent the most amazing and detailed updates and cute photos!! Will 1000% be booking with Nicole again!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and neighbors for several years, caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. As a dog owner myself, I have hands-on experience with daily routines, exercise, feeding, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in a new environment. I’ve been around animals since I was very young, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand the responsibility that comes with looking after another living being, and I take that seriously—your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I aim to provide reliable and attentive care you can trust. I’m currently a student with a very open and flexible schedule. During the summer, I’m available all day, every day, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and consistency. I truly respect the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. I treat every space with care and professionalism, keeping things clean, secure, and just as you left them. I’m there to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, while also respecting your privacy and routines.

Anastasiia was amazing and we will definitely be booking with her again! She took great care of our cats and made sure that they were as comfortable as possible while we were gone. Our cats are usually quite skittish around new people but came out to say hi on her first visit, so if they could talk I’m sure they’d give her 5 stars as well.
Melissa took great care of our cats during her first time sitting for us. Communication was smooth, and the cats were well cared for while we were away. She also went out of her way to bring in a bunch of packages and registry gifts that arrived, which we really appreciated. A very helpful and dependable sitter. Thank you!

Abbey was nothing short of amazing!! Dumpling can be really shy and take a while to warm up to other people, but she warmed up to Abbey so quickly! I got so many great pictures and videos while I was gone, which I appreciate so much. She took such great care of Dumpling, and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!
