“Megan was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of my cat and sent check-in photos, played with him each day, and kept my apartment clean. I will definitely come back to her the next time I need a sitter.”

“Qutress was great with our shy cat, who even let Qutress pet her which is quite rare for newcomers! She was very communicative and gave us wonderful updates every day. Highly recommend!”

“It is clear Paloma knows how cats are and how to approach them. Koji is a very shy cat and Paloma most definitely got her to come out of her comfort zone without stressing her out.”

“I was out of country for 5 days and Evan took good care of my two cats. Litter boxes appeared to have been cleaned regularly and there was plenty of food and water out for the cats.”
“Just wanted to thank you again for watching rocky and tiger. Leaving them can make us nervous so we appreciate your care of them, it made us feel at ease knowing they were happy 🙂”

About: I treat your pet like family and keep you informed every step of the way. Unlike big pet-sitting services, I only take a limited number of clients so every dog gets my full attention and consistent care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle — I’m active, outdoors often, and love spending my time with animals, so dog walking and sitting are part of my everyday rhythm, In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a cozy, clean space to relax, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I open my home to pets as if they were my own — they get cuddles on the couch (if allowed!), supervised play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved.
“We were so happy with the care our cat received with Coretta! This is why we continue to book her to look after our cat - she always does a great job. Her detailed descriptions and photographs she took each day.were so helpful to see while we were away and definitely made us feel better about having to be away. She really cares about our cat and I always know that she will follow our instructions carefully and make sure that we are always well informed about how our cat was doing. She even collected our packages that arrived by mail when we were away, which was very nice of her to do. We would definitely recommend Coretta to anyone if they are looking for cat care - she is truly excellent.”

“Tamara has been a wonderful support to our family. She’s a quick learner, is patient and communicates well. Our team pups enjoy her and always look forward to their walks with her.”

About: Having spent time around senior, disabled, and, reactive dogs myself I have seen what their human companions can experience emotionally. My goal as a sitter is to approach your dog with patience and a flexible mindset to prioritize their individual needs. Eccentric dogs are my favorite dogs to work with! With a flexible schedule, I have time available every day to devote care to your animal companion. The available times will vary depending on the day, but every day means every day! Animals are living beings with preferences and quirks the same as you and I. Respecting the animals boundaries while still providing the needed care for them is something I find genuinely rewarding. Often, I encourage my clients to be as specific as possible about the special goings ons their animal prefer to have in their routine. Providing your animal companion with the security of routine and company, even though I am not the MVP, means I have done my job successfully.

About: I am a CPR certified pet sitter who loves animals and loves to care for things. I have no pets of my own because I travel often for my full-time job . However. , I look forward to building a trust worthy, healthy relationship with you and your animal family. I currently work from home full-time so I have flexible hours. I do travel often for work so the further out I know for overnight days is the better. I also am available to walk dogs daily. I live alone and a very nice neighborhood full of lots of trees and families. I keep a very neat and nice home free of anything that could harm animals.
About: Having grown up with animals and volunteered at the humane society, I have experience caring for a variety of canine and feline creatures, including those who need medication, training, and late-in-life care. I love enhancing a dog’s quality of life whenever I can by providing individualized care. I also really enjoy walking and grooming. I am looking to transition into full-time animal care, so my schedule is very flexible. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! I have a sweet four-year-old kitty named Minky. She is great with other animals (especially cats), and is very calm. If your pet is not comfortable with other animals or cats, I am happy to watch them at your place instead of boarding.
“Dana is amazing! She was so helpful and cared for our 2 kitties like they were her own. She stopped by to see where their things were and meet them before the drop-ins. Thank you, Dana!”
“Thank you so much, Maya, for always taking such great care of Kenobi! It's no wonder why he's always so excited to see you! Thank you so much again for the last minute request; we appreciate your help!”

“Sanaa was a great sitter for my cat! She responded so quickly to my messages and did everything perfectly for the drop-in visit. I’ll for sure be contacting her next time I need a sitter!”
