“As always, Colleen made it easy for us to be away from our two cats, because we knew they were in such good hands--we come home to them happy and calm.”
“Phoebe was great and my dog loved her and the visits! Will definitely be calling her again. She took many pictures and had fun with Jackson. I didn’t need to worry about him at all while I was away, 5 stars.”
“Lei was wonderful with our shy cat and gave him excellent care. She was prompt, attentive to every detail, and went the extra mile. I’ll definitely trust her with our pets again!”
“This was my first time leaving my cats Butter and Boba for a few days, and Sophie was amazing from start to finish! During the meet and greet, she asked thoughtful questions and made sure she understood their routines and quirks, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire stay she was extremely communicative. I loved getting pictures and a summary after each visit. My cats are very very shy, and she was so patient and gentle with them. She earned their trust quickly, especially with Boba, which says a lot! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thanks Sophie!”
“Alexandra did a great job looking after our cat over the weekend. He is a bit older and needs a pill twice a day and it was no problem for her. Hank was well fed and taken very good care of.”
“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”
“Elizabeth is extremely communicative and professional. She gives lots of updates and always make sure to let me know of their day. I feel very comfortable leaving and knowing my dog is well cared for.”
About: Listen, I've basically run a zoo my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua and let me tell you, keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility to pop over to your house and be a friendly presence and go on walks whenever! I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾
“Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Pamela was a huge help by stepping in last minute for us over several days of drop-ins. We have a super needy Frenchie, and Pamela handled her effortlessly and sent us great write ups and super cute pictures on their daily adventures together. She even brought in some unexpected packages that arrived while we were away. We highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again! She definitely exceeded expectations!”
“We loved Taylor and would have her take care of our kitties again in a heartbeat! She’s extremely professional, experienced, and prepared. She asked us lots of questions about our cats at the meet and greet to make sure they got the best care possible. We loved work with Taylor!”
About: Worked 2 and a half years at a veterinary clinic. Comfortable handling a wide array of animals and dogs of any size. Proficient in animal handling, walking, and medication administration. Also, intern at exotic vet hospital in Costa Rica and a equine veterinary hospital Currently in the summer of my Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Master program. Outside of working on my masters project I am open. Have a lot of flexibility of where I work on my project (online) and when to take breaks so I am very flexible. I cannot take pets in my home. However, a top priority for me is ensuring your pets’ safety and comfort. I want to try to maintain as close to their normal schedule as possible. Make sure their routines are consistent and they feel mentally and physically simulated and well loved!
“Isabelle is so kind and responsive she wrote really cute rover cards for each visit. I am so grateful I was able to find her for a last minute trip I had!”
“Toshiko was an OUTSTANDING cat sitter!! I came home to happy and healthy kitties (and plants!!) Toshiko is super reliable, a great communicator, and has a real bond with animals. I would definitely recommend her to you and plan to ask her to pet sit again in the future!”
About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for family Golden Retrievers and have regularly dog-sat for both friends and family. I truly love spending time with pups of all personalities and enjoy giving them the attention, comfort, and fun they deserve. I’m available on weekends as well as weekday evenings after 5 PM. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or occasional help, I can be flexible within those windows to fit your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, easy to coordinate with, and happy to work around your scheduling needs to make sure your pup is cared for and comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and making them feel comfortable. For walks, I make sure your pup gets safe, enjoyable exercise at a pace that fits their age and energy level. I always keep a close eye on their surroundings, use secure leash handling, and provide plenty of praise and encouragement along the way.
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”

Victoria was amazing! I needed someone last minute for drop-in visits with my cat during a work trip, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive from the start. She made the whole process so much less stressful and took great care of my cat while I was away. I really appreciated the updates, reliability, and genuine care she showed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Lei is a wonderful pet carer! My cat Myrrh is usually shy with new people, but she gravitated to Lei immediately because Lei is so sensitive and attentive. Lei engages Myrrh with petting, scratching, and playing—just right for whatever Myrrh is in the mood for. Lei sends a detailed and thoughtful report of each visit right away, with lots of photos and videos. It's so reassuring to see Myrrh enjoying herself with Lei when I'm away. Lei is rock-solid reliable with visits as well as with communication. Myrrh has a daily medication, and with visits from Lei, I know Myrrh will always get her medication accurately and on time. I highly recommend Lei and will definitely rebook her to care for Myrrh!
Lindsay was excellent with my pup Hermes! She went above and beyond to make sure he had the best care. Lindsay is well organized, punctual, and has great availability. She was always accommodating and timely with any scheduling conflicts. I highly recommend her for any and all pet sitting needs.
She was exactly who we needed to care for our finicky sweet cat. Abby communicated with us every time she visited with photos and videos of our kitty. She updated us on our kitty’s patterns and eating habits and learned when she wanted attention and when she needed a little space (so important for cats!). She was flexible with needing to find supplies in the house like trash bags when we didn’t leave enough out. Our cat clearly loved having her there and warmed up to her quickly. Bubs is usually visibly stressed after we are gone even with care but this time she was happy and relaxed when we got back. Abby was really the perfect cat sitter for us!!
We had to request a last minute sitter for our cats and Zosha was immediately responsive. He was such an amazing sitter for my two kitties! He definitely made me feel like they were in safe hands the whole time and made it very easy to enjoy my trip away without any anxiety. We got pics and updates every single visit. One of my cats required eye ointment twice a day and Zosha did such a great job despite how squirmy my one cat can be. Cannot thank him enough and will definitely be rebooking in the future!!
