“Jeweliana was thorough, communicative, and kind throughout our booking with her. She was willing to accommodate adjustments, and asked questions that showed she was deeply paying attention to our cats and their welfare. I could not have asked for someone better to watch our kitties for us, and would definitely book with her again.”

“Ana has been wonderful and her communication is too notch! I tend to be an anxious pet owner when I leave town but Ana made me feel so reassured and comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates every day and was also providing additional help outside of the cats. I highly recommend booking her for your pets’ needs when you leave town!”


“Ashley did amazing taking care of my boy! Highly recommend her. Perfect communication and feedback. Definitely felt safe leaving my boy with her for the weekend :)”

About: I have been caring for my own pets for 20+ years with a lot of love and patience! I have significant experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have also cared for reptiles, fish, and multiple cats. I currently have 4 pets of my own, including one with complex medical needs. I put a lot of work in what I do and I love all animals! I am looking for part-time work. Mainly available on weekends and in the evening. I can always be flexible and add more time as needed for families! I am a very detailed oriented person! I always read ingredients, check for allergies and sensitivities, and research toys, treats, and environments to ensure safety of the animals in my care.
“She took such wonderful care of my elderly cat. Such kind loving energy towards him, our fish, our home and us. Will definitely hire her again. Thank you Marilyn.”

“If you’re lucky enough to book Ruth—DO IT. I travel often and for long stretches, so finding someone who’s not only amazing with my pets but also *attentive to the little details* is everything. Ruth is that rare gem. Yes, she bonded beautifully with my fur babies (even my shy one warmed up to her immediately, but what really stood out was her *meticulous care*. Clean pet bowls—like, actually clean, not just rinsed. No slimy water bowls sitting there for days like I’ve seen with other sitters. She took the time to scrub, refresh, and make sure everything was spotless. That level of detail is hard to find. She also took out the trash, swept around *all three* litter boxes (one per cat), and made sure everything was tidy. It’s rare to find someone who’s both nurturing and this thorough. Her daily updates and adorable photos gave me peace of mind, which is priceless when you’re far from home. Ruth is the full package. Reliable, caring, clean, and incredibly thoughtful. Snag her for your pets while you can! people like her book up fast. So grateful to have found her!”

“Samantha is a very respectful and polite lady. She asked me some of the relevant information I forgot to mention and asked what I'd like her to do to make sure we had the same goal. She checked in and out when coming and going and provided me with how the dog did. Great pick!!”


“Emily was great. She came and met my three dogs and was willing to work with my high anxiety baby. She was patient and kind with her. She sent pictures of the morning and afternoon visits. We didn't get pics of fhe night visits. I appreciated Emily's willingness to come to our place to take care of our babies. I did originally ask for two visits and then asked for three/ she was willing to do it even though the drive was a little further than we both realized. Thanks again, Emily!”
