Catherine M did a wonderful job. She and Tucker got along great. She sent pictures after every visit so we know our little guy was happy, played with and given plenty of attention. We will remember Catherine for our next trip.

Kara is consistently a trustworthy and thorough sitter for our cat! Her updates always include important information and she goes out of her way to find new ways to entertain our playful cat while we are traveling. Most recently we booked Kara for our longest trip away from our boy, and she immediately puts all our worries at ease! We never have any concerns leaving our cat in her care and will happily continue booking with her!

I would recommend Madison to any pet owner! She kept me updated throughout my trip, snapping cute photos of my cat Chevy and giving him ample attention. Bonus: Madison even watered my plants for me! I felt completely at ease knowing she was popping in and keeping things running smoothly during my vacation!

Rover or any employer would be grateful to have such an amazing and kind woman working for them. She has such a wonderful personality that just endears her to our furbabies! She really cares about our pets and I have never seen Champ respond so well to anyone before!!! I only wish I could find some way to rate her higher, she more than earned it!!!

Margaret, thanks so much for taking care of my cat. Margaret is very nice and professional. Her drop-in visit notes made me feel that my cat was well and healthy, comforting my heart. I will definitely book her visits for cat sitting again!

Jubilee came to our house on pretty short notice for a drop in visit. She was great with quick communication and provided updates with photos. We have 3 higher energy golden retrievers and they were very happy when we returned home. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking again in the future!

Julie did a fantastic job checking in on one very sociable and one very shy cat while we were on vacation. She included pictures and details of each cats’ behavior each night. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cats’ wellbeing. They both seemed underwhelmed with our presence upon our return. Perhaps they were hoping for Julie instead of us. We will definitely be booking Julie again whenever our travels take us out of town!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, and fish for my entire life! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and of various breeds, and I have experience administering medication as my childhood dog is diabetic. I currently own an adult orange tabby named Cheeseburger! 🍔 I am able to make drop-in visits/dog walks any day of the week! I choose to board pets only over weekends to ensure they get all the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment with no fence or large yard, so small pets, pets who can play inside, and low energy pets would definitely be comfortable there! I would feel more comfortable traveling to large pets and pets who need outside play.

Melissa cared for my beloved senior kitty, Ursa, while I was away for 8 days. Communication with her was quick and professional, and from our first meeting it was clear that Melissa had an understanding of feline needs and behaviors. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Ursa was in capable hands while I was away. I returned to a happy cat and a home that was just like I left it :)

Madison was able to take care of my cats last minute - she was a huge help! She eased my mind while I was out of town with all the pictures and detailed updates every morning. She was very responsive as well! I came home to filled food and water bowls and a clean cat area AND happy cats!
