“As always, Johanna is wonderful and is great with our dog! She's on time, super communicative, and has our dog's routine down! We would highly recommend her for both overnight stays and walks/daily visits.”
“As usual, thank you for the quality time you spend with Malcolm. I can tell he really loves you by how happy he looks in his pictures. You make him a very happy pup!”
“As a new dog dad and learning as I go finding a sitter has been so nerve racking. Getting in contact with Robert was a life saver. Was very communicative, respectful of my space. My tiny puppy seems to love him. Made me feel comfortable through the visits and shared some cute pics of my fur baby. Would highly recommend and will be booking with him again soon.”
“Anana was brilliant. She sent goofy pics of our little orange boy. There was an issue with our door and she worked with us to work through it. She communicated well and is very reliable. Thank you so much Anana!”
“Sofia checked in on Artie for a week when she had kennel cough and couldn’t go to daycare. Sofia was easy to communicate with and punctual about the drop ins. We would definitely book Sofia again in the future!”
“Tetiana was so great, communicative, and responsive! She gave us super detailed updates with tons of pictures so we knew our kitties were well taken care of. We will definitely be working with her again!”
“Jillian was very responsive, friendly, and attentive during her drop-in visits with our cats. We needed a last-minute holiday Rover and Jillian took time to stop by before we left to meet the cats and learn about their needs. She sent great pictures and updates, and followed all of our requests perfectly.”
“Vanessa took such great care of the cats! I appreciated her communication and she even put away our cat food delivery when we were out of town. Highly recommend Vanessa and will be booking again in the future!”
“This is our second time booking with Stephanie, and I would absolutely book her again. She is very attentive to our cat Obie, who is very high energy and needs a lot of playtime. She also sends detailed reports and lots of wonderful pictures every day (some of them are my favorite pictures I have of Obie!)”
About: I’ve spent lots of time walking, sitting, and staying over night to watch my neighbors dogs! We’d go on long walks, and when we would get back I would take them into the yard to play fetch just to get that last bit of energy out. I understand that each animal has their own needs and little personality that I love learning about. I am a freelance animator, so my schedule is very flexible! In addition to having my own little zoo at home, my fiancée and I foster cats. So I definitely understand the amount of social time they need! I love spending time with animals and can’t wait to spend time with yours! I’m happy to feed, play, and give your pets as much attention as they need and deserve.
“Allie was amazing, fitting right into our routine. She kept in touch and sent pictures. Came back and my cat was so happy and content when I came home. Thank you, Allie!”
About: My family always had a dog growing up, so im very familiar with them. Then, after I moved out I got cats of my own, and learned how to take care of them too! Im at teacher, so im typically available nights and weekends. I'd be able to come over and provide whatever necessary services after school and on weekends I make sure I respect the pet's boundaries. I never pet a cat or dog first unless I know it's okay and they feel comfortable with it! I've watched dogs and cats at my apartment before, and we always make sure the pets feel safe
“Diana is fantastic! She takes great care of my boys and asked really thoughtful questions to make sure that she knew all of their fun quirks. I fully trust Diana with them!”
“Chris did a great job taking care of our two cats! He was reliable, communicative and seemed to form a special bond with one of my cats (the other is antisocial but Chris did a great job respecting her boundaries as he is a cat owner himself). Would highly recommend him!”

Jordan A.
“Jordan used to take care of my cat when I needed a pet sitter! At the time, I would drop my cat off with him as she was young, and his cats tolerated her. I would absolutely trust him to come to my apartment to care for all of my current animals at any time. Jordan also fostered one of my previous cats when I was unable to have her due to a living situation, and he took amazing care of her. She was on medication and a special diet at the time, and he made sure she got her meds daily and that she had access to her food but not the other cat's food. Jordan is great with dogs as well! My current dog loves him. Jordan loves being outdoors and would be a great choice to take your pup out for a stroll. He once walked my sister's dog for 2+ hours while she was moving.”

Elyse went above and beyond with her care! She is a cat whisperer when it comes to play time which is exactly what my cat needed. She was also very communicative at every visit and I loved seeing all her pictures while I was away knowing he was well taken care of!
Autumn is a world class catsitter. She immediately understood our cats’ personalities and needs and they warmed to her right away. She took such good care of them and sent lots of photos of the cats having a wonderful time. So grateful for her diligence and loving work! Will definitely hire her again!
