“Ella was amazing!! She kept me updated the whole time and even spent extra time with my cat during the day :)) I felt so much better having Ella take care of him while I was gone!!”
“Jamie did such a great job. She actually got my kitty to make an appearance. ? I highly recommend her as your pet sitter. She stayed in touch and I got daily updates and pictures. Thank you Jamie!”
“Bailey did a wonderful job with our shy kitty. I do believe she is a cat whisperer! She is very reliable , courteous and kept me very well informed. I will definitely use her again to care for my kitty!”
“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”
“Ashley did an amazing job caring for our cats all week while we were on vacation. She was so attentive and made sure they were happy and well cared for. We got super cute pictures every day, and we really appreciate the extra care she put into everything like spending time with them out on the deck and keeping us in the loop with regular updates.”
“Mildred cared for our cat while we traveled out-of-town for our first trip since adopting Beans. Mildred is a talented, attentive caretaker who really 'went the extra mile' to provide frequent updates and photos so we would know that Beans was happy and safe while we were away. As first-time cat owners we were nervous about leaving Beans for a few days, but Mildred's compassion and skill helped set us at ease! I look forward to working with Mildred again in the future, and I recommend her services to anybody needing animal care in the Burlington area!”
“We have a very shy and anxious cat but Yelena was wonderful with her! She was able to get her to come out of hiding and she took great care of her! I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we need a cat sitter”
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Bandit. All of the daily updates and photos put my mind at ease. She gave him lots of attention. I would definitely recommend her, and have her pet sit for me again.”
About: I grew up with three dogs, worked as a pet sitter for a small business for a few years, picked up some training methods for both puppies and older dogs, and recently graduated with a bachelors of science in Wildlife biology! I work very part-time at the moment, and am happy to make my schedule work around you and your pets! Give me a time and a place and I’ll be there! My number one goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and safe as possible whilst you’re away. If that means spending extra time with them during my visits than I’m more than happy to oblige!
