I cannot recommend Kerslie enough. We were on the other side of the country and thinking we had to fly back when we found Kerslie to save the day. She took such amazing care of our Malta, from the basics of feeding her and giving her attention, to her giving Malta enrichment by hiding treats, cleaning up litter, and emptying trash cans for us so we wouldn’t need to do it ourselves when we came back (all entirely without our prompting). She was so playful with our cat and made sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed promptly. She gave us the peace of mind to trust Malta was safe and taken care of and I would book with her again in a heartbeat.

Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!

Jennifer took excellent care of our cat while we were away on vacation. He is an older cat who takes multiple medications every day, which Jennifer took care of with ease. We knew he was in great hands, which brought us peace of mind while we were away. I’d recommend Jennifer’s services to anyone and everyone!

Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.

One of the best sitters out there! Very professional and sweet. Helped my Mollie out by giving her meds when it was storming and I was at work. Daily pictures. Very understanding with schedule changes. My pups love her dearly! I can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.

Tosha was so good with my son’s cat. She went above and beyond to make sure Peach was comfortable, well-fed and her litter box was always clean. Tosha sent us regular updates and spent extra time playing with Peach (or petting her as her mood dictated.) It gave us so much peace of mind to know Peach was well taken care of. We hope Tosha’s available the next time Peach needs a sitter.

Shelley was absolutely great! She came in exactly when she said she would and went above and beyond caring for my cat. She took the time to give my cat attention, made sure the food and water bowls were full, and stayed in constant communication with me throughout. I especially appreciated the photo updates—it gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Shaun was fantastic - I cannot recommend Shaun enough. A few great things about Shaun: 1) He was incredibly professional - Shaun asked all of the right questions (ones I even forgot) upfront to make sure he was prepared for the day. He was on time (early!) and got right to helping our dog Spike while I was working. He sent a full day debrief after meeting which was so helpful. 2) He did a great job with our puppy! Shaun spent a lot of time playing, walking and hanging out with our dog. We are so grateful to have found someone who loves our puppy! He also sent a lot of pictures which was awesome. Can't wait to hire Shaun again!

I would give Stephanie 10 stars if I could. She is incredibly sweet, thorough, and communicative. She leaves detailed cards about your pet’s visits and lots of pictures! She’s very good about the times of her visits and goes the extra mile. My kitty got a little sick from the stress and she took her to the vet twice for me and administered medications! I truly could not have asked for a better sitter.
