1. Kade M.


“Kade was back for the third time to take care of my anxious and medicated cat. Pays a lot of attention to detail and was really smart about things when I left put some information this time by mistake. Kade did exactly the right thing for him. I am grateful to have such an easy going, reliable person to take care of him. When I got home from a stressful trip, my anxious cat was as cool and steady as he could be.”


2. Kyla B.

“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”


3. Jeffrey H.

“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”


4. Eula C.


“Thane was so great with my slightly psychotic and very special needs dog (old and with a bite history). They were so patient with my dog's stubbornness and various quirks and also successfully managed my cats, who are always trying to get out the door. There were no issues and I really believe it was the best possible experience for all my pets.”


5. Kristen C.

“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”


6. Elijah S.

“Elijah is the absolute best! He is one of the few people my really shy cat is warmed up too and always does an incredible job of communicating and sending cute pictures!”


7. Sophie M.

“Sophie did a great job taking care of our kitties! She sent lots of photos and we felt better leaving them while we were on vacation knowing she was there.”


8. Kay C.

“Kay was a fantastic help and super communicative. I really appreciated all of the notes and photos taken while we were away from our two cats and never stressed once about how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”


9. Maggie G.


“Maggie is a very thorough and caring cat sitter! She covers every detail to ensure our cats are well taken care of. We are very impressed with her punctuality as well!”


10. Talia C.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.


11. Alexander S.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”


12. Giselle C.


“Giselle was wonderful to work with and took great care of our cats! She was communicative, organized, and thoughtful, and went above and beyond cleaning up after them and playing with them to bring them out of their shells. We would love to book again. Thank you Giselle!”


13. Nicole P.

“Being away from my furbabies is always stressful. Nicole was able to ease my stress with her excellent care of my 3 furbabies. One super senior on lots of meds and the other two prior feral makes them not the easiest to care for. Nicole did great with walking, feeding and any special needs that occurred. I will use Nicole again should I need to travel without my furbabies.”


14. Makenzie O.

“Makenzie provided so many great updates on her bonding and care with our pet rabbit! I appreciated how communicative she was. Would definitely work with her again!”


15. Alexandra E.


“Alexandra was so kind and sweet with our boy! Paid attention to detail from instructions I provided and were responsive. 10/10, will definitely be reaching out again if we need help with our guy :)”


16. Alyssia J.
“Alyssia cared for my dog for 7 days while I was on vacation. I could tell that my dog really enjoyed herself! Alyssia was punctual on arrival, built a strong relationship with my pup, and maintained my dog’s walking, playing, and feeding schedule! Alyssia is a dog lover and treated my pup like her own. If I ever need pet sitting again, I know who to call! I highly recommend booking Alyssia for her services.”


17. Ana R.

“As always Ana did an amazing job! She is my go to person for caring for my kitties. She is great at communicating and keeps my mind at ease while I’m away. Thank you so much!”


18. Jordan J.


“My husband and I went out of town for the Christmas holidays and we were so lucky that Jordan was able to watch our two cats ??. She is super professional, thoughtful and caring and our cats agreed.”


19. Hannah H.

“Hannah is great! My dogs took immediately to her. I highly recommend her!”




20. Anna F.

“Anna was excellent in the care of my pups. She was attentive and affectionate towards them. Anna kept me informed about the dogs and took pictures.”
