“I felt comfortable leaving my 2 cats to be cared for by Alyssa. She was able to drop in prior to the booking to get instructions and communicated well. The cats are very shy - practically feral - but she was still able to snap a photo. I would definitely book with her again.”
“I cannot recommend Mimi enough! She took incredible care of my cat while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a true love for animals. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which made me smile every day and reassured me that my cat was happy, relaxed, and well looked after. My cat can be a little shy with new people, but she warmed up so quickly to Mimi, which says a lot! I came home to a very content cat and a spotless home. Thank you so much for going above and beyond — I would absolutely book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
“Hannah took care of my little Juju and she made sure she got all her medication's. She seemed trustworthy and was very friendly. She was responsive and sent update photos of my cat. I would use her again.”
“Dayanara did exactly what I asked of her regarding the care of my two cats. She sent me updates and pictures over my weekend away, which washed away any of my anxiety regarding the well-being of my cats. I will definitely be hiring her next time when I need someone to watch my cats and will recommend her to any of my friends with pets as well. Thanks so much Dayanara!”
“Kelley took great care of our cat while we were away. She even stopped by on her own time to meet the cat before we left since she lives nearby. We got daily updates with photos. We came home to hand-washed food bowls and a happy cat. Thanks so much, Kelley!”
“Tatiana is the best. This is the second time she takes care of our elderly cat and we feel so lucky to have her while away. Would highly recommend her for your pets. She is caring, knowledgeable and very good with animals that require extra care (our kittty is 17 and needs daily medication plus extra care). We also love that she sends a detailed report of each and every visit with tons of pictures.”
“Meg was great! She sent us pictures and updates on our cat while we were away. You can tell she really cares about the animals by her updates and how she went above and beyond to not only feed him but play with him and keep him company during her drop-ins!”
About: I have had a dog ever since I was a child and I know everything there is about dog care. Over the years, I have watched basically everyone around my neighborhoods puppies. Dogs have always been apart of my life so I would not only like to spread the love to my puppies but to other peoples dogs as well! I am a very energetic person so taking care of dogs and walking dogs have never been an issue for me. I wish I found out about this website a long time ago because now I can spend my time doing something I love. I will provide care for your animals to the best of my ability and I will ensure the best care possible. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, becoming a cherished part of each day. From morning walks to evening play sessions, I prioritize feeding, grooming, and cuddle time. Scheduled vet appointments and occasional treats are woven into the fabric of my routine, creating a balanced and fulfilling life for my pet. The joy and companionship my furry friend brings enrich every moment, making pet care a rewarding and essential aspect of my daily life. I devote time daily to walk and play with my dog, ensuring a healthy and active lifestyle. Regular vet visits, a balanced diet, and ample affection contribute to his well-being. Creating a loving environment, I prioritize his comfort and happiness, making our bond stronger each day.
About: I’ve pet sat for neighbor’s, family members, and friends from fish, cats, dogs, and reptiles. Unfortunately very little experience with birds but am always up to learn. It fits in my daily life cause I myself have two beautiful cats named Maple and Moka who I follow proper cat nutrition and I walk my sisters dog one or twice a week. I will follow exact instructions as provided by the owner of the pet(s) and I can offer suggestions and basic training for pets upon request.
“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”
About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.
“it was my first time using an outside Cat Sitter other than family members so I was quite nervous. Carly turned out to be wonderful. She was reliable, super friendly, and my baby took to her immediately I would highly recommend her as I plan on using her for any of my upcoming trips.”
About: I’ve grown up with large and small dogs my whole life. In my 20s, my former partner and I raised a German Shepherd. I learned that you need to train yourself before you can train your dog. I believe in positive reinforcement training and that consistency is what works best. I currently have a small somewhat senior dog that is a mixed breed who is special needs. He is deaf and has IVDD which has taught me a lot. I have ramps and gates so he and other dogs can get on and off furniture with ease. I also am able to gently administer oral medication for even the most stubborn pups as sometimes mine can be quite stubborn! I work remotely from home with the exception of one day a month. This really allows me to give the time and attention needed to your pets care. It also gives me the flexibility to work from anywhere that has an internet connection. I have a fenced in yard but also love going on walks as I know dogs love and need stimulation. Our in home pets are very calm and accepting of other pets that I have cared for which is one of the reasons why I felt that opening up our home to other pets would work. If your pet is not the best with cats we are able to keep them separated.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for my neighbors of different varieties. I love big dogs and small dogs alike, even medium dogs. I know nurturing a bond with the dog is very hard but very rewarding and I’m willing to put in the work. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty time to go in and check in on your fur babies. I definitely can walk bathe play, and feed dogs while I visit! I currently own one dog in a fenced in yard, and I own one cat, he is my light and joy. I love him so much.
“Casey was amazing! She was so kind and responsive, sent so many pictures and was so reliable in terms of communication / coordination / care. I couldn’t have hoped for a better sitter. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Alicia is wonderful and so accommodating, I appreciate her attentiveness and care. My cat feels right at home when he's staying which gave me such peace of mind:) Thank you Alicia!!”

Daina G.
“Hi there! It is my pleasure to recommend Daina as a caretaker. She is a proud and loving dog and cat mom to one little pup (Gyro) and two cats (Jameson & Guinness). Over the course of her life she has owned, fostered, rescued, trained and looked after a wide variety of animals ranging in ages, sizes and temperaments. She is patient, kind and loving as well as keeping a firm hand to insure the safety and overall wellness of the animals. She is attentive and treats all pets as though they were her own and as she would want hers treated. Whether in our own home or the homes of others, she goes to great lengths to meet the needs of every pet on an individual basis while honoring and following the wishes of each owner such that their pet gets the happiest and most comfortable experience. You can be confident your fur baby is in the greatest hands while Daina's got her eye on them!”
