“Stephen was fantastic. He came to my rescue for my cat as the other sitter I had was not working out and I was already overseas. He came and spent more time than request with Reno.”

“Annalia is absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking her to watch Pickle, and she is officially our go-to sitter. She was punctual every single day and sent great photo updates that put my mind at ease. She is friendly, communicative, and truly went above and beyond—even cleaning up a sickness mess and keeping me informed immediately. Pickle was happy and relaxed when I got home. I can’t recommend Annalia enough!”

“Taylor is wonderful! She is always quick in responding, conscientious, and very reliable. She took such good care of our animals and I would highly recommend her without hesitation. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

“Gwen cared for my two kitties as if they were her own. She was able to notice a change in behavior of my 16 yo cat and alerted us in time to help her. She stayed with her until we were able to make arrangements to come home early. My cats really liked her too- which is highly unusual. Would 100% recommend Gwen and would entrust our pets care to her again.”

“Lexi is a fantastic pet sitter. Our cat Tilly took to her instantly. We booked her to do several drop-ins over the course of a couple weeks, and when we returned, our cat looked happy and healthy, and our home remained nice and clean. Her communication was excellent, and Lexi remained gracious and accommodating when she encountered a hiccup with our door lock. She took lots of cute pictures of our cat during each visit, and we loved checking out the Rover Card after each sign-out. Lexi is reliable, thorough, efficient and trustworthy, and we’d love to become repeat clients of hers. Thank you, Lexi!”

“Hillary was amazing! I would use her over and over again! She always made sure to send me updates and pictures of Bella and Arnold and they both look like they were having an absolute blast! It’s nice to feel at ease when you’re away that your babies are taken care of and Hillary definitely does that! I would not hesitate twice about booking with Hillary!❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾”


“Chloe is definitely our go-to for drop in or overnight visits! She always keeps us updated on how our two dogs are doing and sends the cutest pictures. The dogs adore her! We’ve been using Chloe for a little over a year now and will continue to do so. :) Thanks for everything, Chloe!”
About: I have cared for pets my entire life, as I have grown up surrounded by them. I have extensive knowledge about their care and also possess basic veterinary knowledge. In addition to giving them baths, I know how to trim their nails and, on some occasions, I can also groom their hair. I can adjust to the care schedule that best fits your needs. I believe it’s especially beneficial for your pet to go for a walk in the morning and in the evening, since those are times when they often have the most energy. I also find it very important to dedicate around 30 minutes exclusively to training, to help develop their learning skills and overall growth. Depending on the owner’s preferences, different activities and moments with the pet can be planned. For example, if it’s a pet that can only stay indoors, I would likely focus on indoor activities and spend plenty of quality time with them. On the other hand, if outdoor activities like walks or trips to the park are possible, I can easily adapt, as I love walking and believe it’s important to let pets safely explore their surroundings. That’s why I consider it very valuable to give pets the opportunity to go outside and enjoy the world.

About: I have grown up around animals and throughout that time have gained skills that help with sitting and with that it allows me to be a better sitter. I have been around all ages of cats and dogs my whole life and have been sitting regularly since I was thirteen. I’m currently in school and not very busy with classes, so I’ll be readily available to fulfill any petting sitting needs that are needed. I will usually check in and/or walk in the morning or in the evening. My dog gets walked twice a day at minimum because he tends to want to get that much energy out. This usually happens at night and I would be able to walk any dogs at the same level which I do mine.
“Charlotte came in clutch when I booked a couple of days before my trip. She was friendly and trustworthy. I only have cats and they don’t need any care other than attention, since their food and litter are automatic. It’s possible that this led Charlotte to think I didn’t want updates about the cats. Day 1 of 2 I reached out to check in and I heard from Charlotte that Meatloaf did not respond well to her the first visit—hissed but did not become aggressive—but that he warmed up to her on visit 2. Definitely will set up introductory visits each time which I have learned will avoid this issue. Charlotte stopped responding after the first day, so I have no way of knowing how the second day of visits went. I was pretty worried about whether Meatloaf was mean to her or if the cats were being checked on. I’m not even sure if she saw my shy second cat at all—just any more communication would have been good. I don’t want to tank any ratings if my cats were a problem but I have no idea what happened.”

“William was great. He dropped in on my 3 dogs, sent pics, and updates during the weekend. I felt very comfortable that my dogs were being looked after by him. I would definitely recommend William and will be contacting him for future drop ins.”

I am comfortable administering oral medications and injections, and I focus on keeping each cat as calm and stress-free as possible during care. I will do everything I can to make your cat or multiple cats/kittens feel safe and loved while you are away, just like I would for my own cats at home. I take pride in building trust and forming relationships, especially with more reserved or sensitive cats, so they feel safe and comfortable during each visit. At home, I have 8 dogs, 3 cats, a dwarf hamster, and 6 hermit crabs. Some are working dogs, others retired or couch potatoes.
