Top rated Gilford cat sitters

“Hannah was an absolute Joy to work with! She was amazing at communicating via updates and photos of my lil guy and she made sure to stop in and meet my pet face to face before sitting. She is patient and caring and won't shy away from any accidents your pet my have. My cat loved her and I'm sure other animals will too!”


“Amy is wonderful! She went above and beyond to care for our pets while we were out of town- she even brought catnip! She is communicative and kind. We are so grateful that we could get away knowing our pets were getting the best care possible.”



“Michelle was wonderful! She was easy to book, she stayed in contact, and sent us pictures of our 2 cats during her visits. We felt very comfortable on our holiday knowing our pets were in good hands!”


“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”


“Shadow and his family give Merissa five out of five paws! If you are looking for someone to spend less than two minutes with your pet, Merissa may not be the person for you. She stopped by roughly 30 minutes during each visit and made sure that Shadow wasn't lonely while we were on vacation. She sent multiple pictures to us every time she stopped over, even if he wasn't interested in having his picture taken. Most importantly to us, she didn't give up on him. The first couple days, he was somewhat apprehensive with someone new looking after him -- he didn't want to eat much or play (which is unlike him). On Day 3, Merissa was able to finally get him out of his funk and act like his playful self (as supported by pictures). Someone else may have just decided to not put in the effort and let our sleepy dog lie, but that wasn't the case with her! So, by all means, don't pick Merissa unless your pet is ready to have someone play with him or her while you are gone. If you want your pet to feel lonely, don't pick her, because she will make sure that your pet gets a lot of attention. And definitely don't pick her, if your pet is camera shy, because you will never have to wonder for too long how your pet is doing. However, if you want to make sure that your pet is cared for while you are away, you should consider booking her right away. Again, Shadow rates her five out of five paws and that is what really matters!”


“Once again, Bianca came through to help me with my sister's dogs as she has been hospitalized and in physical rehabilitation. Bianca is an excellent communicator, sending messages, videos and pictures. The dogs adore her and so do I!! ❤️”

About: I grew up around very many animals and pet sit often for friends and family. I have experience with many animals. I know pet first aid and CPR. I love all dog breeds and ages! I’m going to school to become a veterinarian! I’m currently working part-time as a server, so my hours are pretty flexible. My shifts are usually not longer than 6 hours, so even if I do work, I have time before or after. I will respect clients rules for their pet and meet all expectations. Keeping the pet safe and happy is most important to me! I will treat you’re pet like my own!

About: I’ve had a whole pack of different animals since I was very little. We’ve had cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents and fish. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, from newborn to elderly. I currently have no pets, so I’d love to spend time with your fur babies! I’m currently on summer break, so I’m very open until school begins in August. During school, I’ll be available from Fri-Sunday, and limited times during the week! I’m always glad to have down time with animals. I always treat animals with the respect and love that they deserve, and am happy to follow any specific direction given. Each pet is unique and has their own set of needs, and I’m interested in knowing your pet’s needs so I can provide the best care possible! My personal pets are each fed on a schedule, and my puppy is taken out at minimum every hour and is given plenty of play time, inside and outside.

About: My mom has 4 dogs and 7 cats animals have always been apart of my life from playful puppy’s and kittens to good old boys and grumpy old cats! I love connecting with them, we truly don’t deserve these companions. I am currently working full time but very flexible in my schedule, Additionally with my first child on the way I am willing to work anytime for additional income I will bring my own waste bags, along with treats for your pet as long as the owner is okay with me giving them treats. Additionally, I have toys for both dogs and cats to keep your pet entertained.
