“Mariah was so kind and informative! She gave great updates on all our babies while we were away and completed all the feeding and requests with expertise. Totally recommend her and will absolutely be booking her next time we go out! Thanks again for watching over our pets!”
“Samantha was great and made sure Athena was well cared-for while I was away for a couple of days. She left good updates and was even able to get a picture of my (very shy, usually hiding) kitty.”
“Angela was amazing with our cats! This was their first time being watched by someone who isn’t family and we came home to them happier than ever. She gave awesome feedback and updates. Really appreciate her 😊”
“Shannan was super sweet and caring with our kitties! She played with them for a long time, made sure they had food & water, and scooped their boxes. She gave them lots of love while we were away for our wedding! Would definitely recommend her again :)”
“This is our second time using Kelli to care for our kitties while we were away on vacation. Just like the first time she did an amazing job. She took great care of both of our cats. Gave them pets, snuggles and treats. Our newest cat Harvey who is a bit shy took to Kelli right away. I think the first day he was full on snuggling her. Both of my cats have liked Kelli from their first meeting. Animals can tell when a person is good and Kelli has a heart of gold. She's not just great with our kitties. She took so many photos and gave great updates each day. As long as Kelli is still pet sitting when we do any future trips, she'll be our go to sitter. Seriously could not ask for anyone better to care for your animals. Thank you, Kelli. We truly appreciate you!”
“Great experience with Nicolina and Patrice!! They took great care of our 4 cats and bunny even with one cat on meds and insulin shots!! Getting ready to book them again for our next trip out of town.”
“Having never used a pet sitter for our 3 cats we didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with Stephanie, our minds were set at ease. She did wonderfully with our 3, one of whom needs daily medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. If we need a pet sitter again she would definitely be our first choice!”
“We’ve used Shannon several times now for our cats and she’s absolutely the best. She always goes above and beyond to make sure our babies are taken care of when we are away.”
About: Had dogs growing up, fell in love with them! Love to care for and connect with them. Dogs seem to trust me and treat me like an old friend. My family and I now have a cat that we absolutely adore (no dogs allowed in our apartment), but boy, do I miss dogs! Main carer for our cat, feed her, empty litter box. Spend time with her and connecting with her every day. She is a real joy, we all love her so Enjoy our neighbors’ dogs in a local park for a quick “love greeting” and pat on the head LOL Main care taker for our cat, Feed her, clean her litter. Spend time playing with her and connecting with her daily. She gives us joy
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember — I’ve had everything from hermit crabs and frogs to cats and dogs since I was a kid! Friends, family, and even my coaches have always trusted me to take them on a walk and petsit. I also worked on a farm where I helped bathe dogs and care for all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable giving medicine, trimming nails, and making bath time fun and easy. I treat every pet like my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, your pets will be in caring, reliable hands. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have morning classes but long breaks from 10:30–12:30 that are perfect for walks or potty breaks. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m done with class by early afternoon, giving me lots of time for drop-ins, playtime, or longer walks. Weekends are completely open, so I’m very flexible for house sitting or extended visits. No matter what my day looks like, I always make time for animals — spending time with pets is honestly one of my favorite ways to take a break from studying! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime routines — so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep their space clean and cozy. I’m comfortable giving medication if needed and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!
The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!
Samantha did an amazing care of my Zoey! while I was away. I could tell she was happy, relaxed, and clearly in good hands. It means the world to know Zoey was so well looked after. She provided pictures of her!I loved all the pictures! Zoey had a little accident when she gets a lil stress and Samantha reach out to me quickly and cleaned it up for me and provided lots of love and comfort to her! Thank you again Samantha for going above and beyond! I will truly reach out to you again!
