“Jessica was amazing!! She’s very capable and easily followed my rather specific instructions. I was super reassured knowing she was around to take care of our cats while we were out of town :)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Annie B. did an exceptional job caring for my cats, Emperor and Empress. From the very beginning, she was attentive, reliable, and clearly committed to their well-being. What stood out the most was her flexibility and professionalism—she adjusted her schedule to accommodate additional days without hesitation and honored every commitment she made. That level of dependability is rare and truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands, and it’s clear she treated them with care and respect. I highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated. She absolutely deserves five stars.”

“Sarah was a fantastic sitter for my kitten. He loved her so much, he gave her cuddles. She was very responsible and gave me updates and pictures every day. She even went out of her way to accommodate my kitten when he had difficulties transitioning to a new type of litter and food when I was gone (due to supply shortages). I was very lucky she took care of my cat last minute, due to an emergency situation in which the original person who was going to watch my cat ended up in the hospital. I am thankful for her service!”

About: Hi there! I’m Irene a Vet-Tech of 11 years turned into SAHM. We live with our two sweet cats and a 1.5yr old toddler so we’re used to having a full (and slightly chaotic) house. My husband also WFH so your pet will rarely be alone! My experience in the vet field has really shaped the way I care for animals: gently, patiently, and always with their comfort and safety in mind. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from shy and anxious to energetic and goofy. I can also handle pretty much any medical needs your pet might have such as medications, injections, SQ fluids, nail trims, ear cleanings, eye/ear meds, even bandage changes. I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies, especially if they need extra care, and I want you to feel completely at ease. I send detailed updates throughout the day, along with so many photos and videos you may run out of storage. There will be no surprises about how your fur babies are doing :) If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring, this EG vet tech auntie would love to help you. Feel free to reach out anytime. Please message me about scheduling and how flexible the timing is! I am available most mornings and evenings and we can find something that works for all of us. I follow instructions to the dot. I am very detail oriented and insightful. I am constantly on look out to make sure your pets are safe and happy. I am an open book & love to give advice to pet owners because at the end of the day, a happy healthy pet is a happy life.
“This is our second time using Sammi and she always leaves cute personal notes every time she visits. We absolutely love her taking care of our two cats and feel content knowing they are in good hands.”

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years and the main thing that I do to make a dog feel safe is to be gentle with them and make sure they’re comfortable in their own home. I currently do online schooling and so pet sitting will be open fully onto my schedule no matter the day or time and I’m here for whatever needs that need to be met. The pets I have at home, I take care of them as if they are are precious babies. They deserve the gentle care and love that any other animal deserves.
“Jenny is the best!!! Always had our cat looking forward to her visits and we enjoyed the pictures/comments. Gave us ease of mind while we were away and she also looked after our snake!! The updates provided let us know our cats mood and eating habits.”


About: Hi, my name is Alysa and I look forward to meeting your baby! My dog, Rudy, is family, and your dog or cat will be treated just the same. They'll get all the love and attention they deserve and will keep you updated with pictures and video ☺️ Why I love animal sitting: Animals bring me joy and their endless love is unmatched. I have a very lovable, 10 year old, 9 lb, chihuahua/pug mix lap-dog. He's fixed, hardly barks, and loves to sleep. He also loves playing with other dogs and gets along with both males and females, and cats! Previously, an incredibly sweet pitbull/pointer/labrador mix gave me over 13 years of experience in addressing separation anxiety, overprotective concerns, endless energy, and, of course, always wanting that belly rubbed! I work from home 3 days a week with flexibility during the day to offer drop-in visits. For house-sitting, I'm able to spend a lot of time with your dog or cat. I work from home 3 days a week and will be able to spend quality time with your dog or cat. They will be treated as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had a wide variety of animals since I was little, and I’m currently taking my prerequisites for vet school! I am able to care for not only dogs, cats, and rodents, but a wide variety of reptiles, birds, and invertebrates! If you’d like to know more about my knowledge on a specific animal you’d like me to care for, don’t be afraid to ask! I’m an open book! I am also able to bottle feed young puppies or kittens if you are needing time off from doing so! I am currently a college student who does asynchronous work. I am able to adjust my schedule at short notice to accommodate your pet and my work. If house sitting over night is needed, I am able to do my work anywhere! So it all works out in the end. I don’t offer boarding at my home, but I am very accommodating. Whatever your furbaby needs at home, i’ll be able to provide! I can take your dog for walks, clean up accidents, feed, give medication (as long as instructions are provided) and give them quality play time! I am also able to clean up litter boxes, rabbit cages, hamster cages, and other small critter cages. If you are needing live feeder insects daily for your reptilian friend, I am able to pick those up daily for them!
“Mandy was excellent! She did a great job taking care of my two cats. She also did some other things too, like bring in the mail and turn lights off and on, open and close blinds. I was not worried at all about the cats while on vacation, Mandy’s a pro! I’m very happy with her services!”

“Justin cared for my tortoise, cat and plants. He executed everything perfectly, was flexible, asked thoughtful questions and communicated effectively. Will book again!”

“Amrit did such a great job with our three cats! She was very punctual and kind. Loved getting pictures of them everyday and it was definitely comforting knowing someone was checking on them while we were out of town. Would definitely rehire!”

“Ellen is our go-to sitter for our two kitties and we had her check in on them during the holiday season. As always, greatly appreciated her daily updates and for her taking the time to give them attention and play time, in addition to checking on their litter/food/water. Thank you Ellen for your great care of our fur babies!”
