“Renee was great with our cat, Kitty! She paid attention to our cat's personality and needs and took wonderful care of her. Was really reassuring to receive regular updates from Renee while on vacation about how Kitty was doing. Would highly recommend Renee for cat sitting.”

About: Hey hey! My name's Victoria, but friends call me Rev. I moved here a couple of years ago now from Georgia, began pet sitting in April 2024, and it's currently my full-time job! I've been fascinated with animals since a young age, with about ~17 years of experience, mainly with cats. As I've gotten older, I've fallen in love with the human-animal bond, and have become passionate about their care and respecting each one the way they deserve. Regardless of your pet's personality, preferences, or needs, I'm excited to meet, care, and accommodate your little darling with the same love as you would! I hope to hear from you soon 😊! As this is my full-time job, I'm capable of prioritizing my schedule to work for you and your sweetheart(s). I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). If you're not sure, please feel welcome to ask! If I can fit them into my schedule, even on short-notice or alongside another sweetie, I'm more than happy to see what I can do. I've got the kind of guest attitude you can expect from a typical Southerner! I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them, and due to a background in housekeeping it's not uncommon for me to do some cleaning before I leave. You can trust to come back to your home just as you left it, if not with less dust than before!
“Jennifer is lovely. She did a pre visit with us on short notice to get the lay of the land. Our first drop in visit went great. She sent lots of pictures and we feel confident that our pups were well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to Jennifer in the future!”
“Isabella and Alanna were absolutely fantastic. Genuinely some of the best sitters we've had! Our girl is a 100+ lb rescue with some submissive/fear issues. Most sitters love dogs and want to give them tons of affection but not all of them can recognize when a dog isn't ready for it. But these women really get it. Not only were they extremely receptive to our dog's energy but they matched her vibe perfectly. If she got scared, they didn't run up to her or overwhelm her, they encouraged her to approach them. They ramped up pets and play over time at her pace. My dog does NOT like meeting new people but in just a couple days she fell in love with these ladies. They are timely, professional, took lots of pictures, and we could not be more thrilled. We highly recommend these two and will absolutely be reaching out to them again. Thank you both so much!”
“Lia always takes the best care of our cat! She’s so easy to communicate with in arranging to get our apartment key and follows our care instructions perfectly. Our cat loves to hang out with her too, and Lia sends lots of photos! I would recommend her to anyone looking for cat care.”
About: I enjoy meeting new animals and have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats. While my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I've found joy in meeting neighborhood pups. I have experience with many different types of dogs, from smaller breeds to the giants, and I look to build a caring and trusting relationship will animals and their humans. Hope to meet you soon! I have a hybrid desk job. For overnight care, I am best matched with pets who can be left alone during my "in-office" day, usually once a week. You pet's health, safety, and happiness are extremely important to me, and I will treat your furry family member as if they were one of my own. That said, each pup needs something a little different, so I'll look to you to share what works best.

About: I've taken care of several family dogs from puppyhood to old age. I've taken puppies skiing and old dogs for verrry slow walks! No care task is too tedious - I love getting to know your furry friends! I work full time but I have a hybrid work schedule so I can do lunchtime walks, as well as before- and after-work visits and feedings. I respect my clients' home spaces and their pets' routines. I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me in their space!

6. Victoria B.
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my cat Rory. He requires medicine via inhaler every morning and isn't always the most cooperative with it. She was able to manage him and ensure he got his inhaler. I trust very few people with that responsibility and was very lucky to have her as my cat sitter. Rory absolutely loved her. I recommend her any time someone asks me for a pet sitter in the area.”
