“Kat is absolutely wonderful! I’ve already booked her for another house sitting since my dogs love her. She is so caring, dependable, clean, kind, and super helpful as she went above and beyond during a recent holiday booking. I cannot thank her enough! She is very communicative and shared pictures, and also helps with training. I’m so glad to have found Kat… I’m sure my two dogs would love to see her more often :)”

By following their routine for feeding , exercise as well as providing company and ensuring their safety and comfort by monitoring their behavior. Making sure their environment is clean and well maintained.

“Charles kept us informed with photos and message updates which was very important to me since I had been away from my home for 5 weeks prior to his stay (my husband arranged a week petsitting w/Charles so he could join me). Our home was all in order and clean, clean litterbox, vacuumed. Our dog & cat were glad to see us but acting like it was just another day, no trembling or nervousness. Our mail was all collected and orderly as well. Charles is an excellent overnight sitter who we would gladly hire again!”



“Chuck is fantastic with my two girls. I absolutely feel more at ease knowing my girls are safe and well taken care of. He has such a kind and caring demeaner. He sends pictures and comments to keep me updated.. He lets my girls sleep with him, which they love and follows the schedule they are accustomed too. Definitely keeping things as normal as possible for them to keep them happy. Our home is in fantastic condition when we return home as well. I'm very grateful for such a quality person to help us with the girls.”

About: Hi there. I’m Zack. I have always had a passion for animals, along with our family having our own. I have been dog walking/house-sitting for 5 years now, and let me just say, it’s one of the best jobs in the world for someone who has a deep attachment to animals. They are part of our lives from the day they come home. You can always rely on me giving them all the care and love they need, and anything you request or need additionally for their wellbeing, don’t ever hesitate to ask twice. I started off caring for animals after a dear friend recommended me to a very sweet couple in need of this. They worked full time jobs and needed a dog walker 5 days a week. I started doing that and from there, built up my clientele. It’s just amazing to be able to work with these dear furry friends. I’m always there for them and you. Thank you.

“She's taken care of my 2 dogs a couple of times of year. One needs extra attention because he loves to eat to fast. She monitors him to make sure he doesn't choke. My other dog is very hyper. She plays ball and walks him while she here. My dogs love her company. I would recommend Loralei to my friends and family to watch your animals. She's responsible and keeps us up to date with how my babies are doing.”

“Reference for Ashley – Amazing Cat Sitter Ashley is hands-down one of the best cat sitters I’ve ever had. She’s super dependable, kind, and clearly loves animals. My cat warmed up to her right away (which never happens!), and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. She kept everything clean, stuck to his routine, and even sent me cute little updates and photos while I was away. It was such a relief knowing someone so thoughtful and attentive was taking care of him. I’d absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their cat. She’s a total gem!”
