“Kimberly was communicative, responsive, and attentive. She adapted easily to our needs and was genuinely focused on Althea’s care and comfort. Excellent experience. Would book again.”
“Bridget is an exceptional sitter! She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and kind. She took so many photos of our sweet kitty and gave us a great description of their time together— he was so well taken care of. I will definitely hire her again”
“I was so nervous to leave my kittens for the first time, but Kate immediately made me feel at ease. She was so professional and kind! She took amazing care of my kittens- I am so grateful! Thank you so much, Kate!!”
“Services rendered were exactly as discussed and she even took both of my dogs for a brief walk. I appreciated that Jing had displayed experience in training. I will definitely reach out to a Jing in the future for all of my pet sitting needs.”
About: As someone who grew up in a "dog home" I'm very comfortable with a wide variety of dogs both big (Fred, German Shepard) and small (Abby, Cocker Spaniel). Over the last 4 years I've been personally training and raising my well-behaved resident couch-potato, Leo. I bring that same enthusiasm and kindness to every cat I meet as well (I've even fostered a few kittens!). I’m detail-oriented, timely, and mindful of existing routines such as walks, meals, medications, or any additional special instructions. I regularly send photos as updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I'm currently working from home part-time, so I'll have lot's of availability during the day. I can also do late-night pet checks! I'm detailed oriented when it comes to your pet(s) and their unique needs. I can accommodate to make sure each pet is shown the attention and care they need. I have a fenced in yard and a resident couch-potato. Meet-and-greets required for any overnight guests.
“Cynthia was great. Really conscientious and experienced. She took care of my two cats while I was away for Thanksgiving. Sent pictures and reports for each visit. When I came back the cats food area and litter were clean and organized. I highly recommend her.”
About: Over the last ten years I have had the opportunity to care for multiple furry friends, including seniors with health issues that require twice daily medication injections and frequent trips outside. I have always loved animals and am dedicated to giving them the best possible love and care they need. I recently moved to the area and would love to help take care of your babies while I'm between jobs! I recently moved to the area and am currently between jobs so I'm available 24/7 to provide pet care for any sweet lil babies who need it! I'm extremely diligent about making sure no animals get in or out of the house without me knowing! No assuming your cat is an outdoor pet or anything like that, I'll make sure to send frequent photo updates to let you know all is well at home.
“Samantha is fantastic! We have enlisted her help a few times now and she’s wonderful. I highly recommend reaching out to her to help you watch your pet! She has come by our home a few times and can be trusted!”
“Gabrielle was great. She was very easy to communicate with, was punctual and gave timely updates. With our dog being older, it was very comforting to know that he was receiving great care at home.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life whether they’re mine or friends. I have a 80lb doberman/pitt mix making me very comfortable with large dogs, and a 10lb tabby cat making me comfortable with your tiny friends too! I work part time, and on days I do work I have a 2 hour lunch break. This allows me to be available for your furry friends whenever you need! I have experience walking dogs who are not fully leash trained and those that are reactive. I know the area well and am confident I can keep your furry friends safe and entertained!
“Dionisia is a great pet care taker . She is very good and patient with handling dogs with anxiety like mine and I can tell my dog loved her as well. She send photos and always communicated very well with me. I 100% trust and recommend her for anyone who may want to book with her !”
“Gabriella is just wonderful. She’s absolutely professional in every way, but is also very warm, flexible and funny. She took great care of my two cats while I was away and was able to add a visit when my travel plans changed. Thank you Gabriella. I hope you will be able to help me out again in the future with Buttercup and Bailey.”

Jiamin was very professional and cheerful. She had a varying schedule and never missed a day. When I needed to cancel a day she added another day to my schedule. She was able to give cats medication and feed them separately. She even gave treats to Milo when he was under the bed. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and happy.
Gabrielle was incredible and very sweet! We booked with <1 week notice and she was very flexible in letting us provide detailed instructions on the day of the visit. She was very easy to work with and the pics she sent tell me the kitties loved her too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Sarah did a phenomenal job yet again. Even our most skiddish and scared cat came out of hiding by end of day one (second drop-in). Idk what it is about Sarah, but she brought out the best in our cats. All instructions were followed regarding meals, water bowls, medication, and litter scooping. She even brought in our trash can without being asked. All around considerate and thorough. Thanks, Sarah!
Regina was really great! She watched our two cats for a last minute trip and they did very well with her. We have one shy cat who takes longer to get used to people and he was out of hiding and being social on only her second visit! I do appreciate that she took notes during our introduction when I was showing her around our home & telling her what to do. It shows an extra level of care. And with that, she followed all instructions perfectly & sent many pictures. We would definitely use Regina again!
