“Teffni’s been a responsible and caring sitter throughout the 3 weeks stint with our cat. She’s punctual, responsive and meticulously handled the duties of looking after our cat well. Will definitely consider her for future sitting needs and recommend her services to anyone.”
“Hyunjung did an excellent job of taking care of my cat, Carmen! Carmen can be a little shy at first, but Hyunjung did a great job of making her feel safe and comfortable. She sent lots of cute photos and detailed updates, so I knew Carmen was having fun and was being taken care of very well! ☺️”
About: I am a reliable and trustworthy person, with 6 years of dog care experience. I taught my own dog how to sit, do paw, and roll-over as well as play dead. I was also my family’s pioneer in getting our dog by creating a very persuasive slideshow! I do not have many commitments so I will be free to take care of your pup at any time of the day and in whatever capacity necessary! I will be sure to follow all instructions provided and engage with your pup with great care. I will also leave everything how I found it and be flexible with any changes!
“Drew was AMAZING! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my sweet Lady. She’s 12 years old and needs extra care and attention, and Drew went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of during each visit. Communication was excellent, and the updates gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend Drew to anyone looking for a truly caring and dependable sitter!”
“Abigail is fantastic! My cat loves her and feels very comfortable around her. She updated us with detailed info and pics everyday. Thanks Abigail, you’re Fiona’s favorite person now :)”
“Ambar was amazing!! She was very responsive and attentive to our two kitties and did an excellent job keeping them fed, updating with anything she needed, and giving them affection they needed while I was away. She even went above and beyond to fix our litter robot when it wasn't functioning properly! Very highly recommend her :)”
“We utilized Kevin’s services for the first time during my outpatient surgery for a drop in visit. He inspires trust, which is extremely important on a day like that. He followed all arrangements well & kept us apprised. We certainly hope to hire him again!”
“Helene did a wonderful job taking care of Chester and Kate! She followed all care instructions and spend extra time visiting with them. Helene provided excellent communication and sent pictures of the kitties during each visit. In addition, she took in the mail, ran the dishwasher and took out the trash. Thank you for a job well done, Helene!”
“Aliyah was fantastic! She replaced a last minute cancellation and was so on top of everything clear and smooth. We were gone for our wedding weekend, and I was able to have 0 worried for my kitty cat while we’re gone knowing she was in Aliyah’s care <3”
“Khadija was WONDERFUL. This was the longest we'd ever left the kitties and we were worried about how they'd react. She was so good with them. We returned to happy, healthy, lovingly cared-for kitty-cats thanks to her.”
About: I have had many dogs over the years, all adopted. Have fostered dogs too. Your pet will have access to several dog beds. My cairn and I would love to watch your dog with you are away. I am recently retired so am home most of the time. So your pet will get care and attention all day long that includes one daily walk. Additional walks available for a fee. I have a stockade fenced in back yard. I go outside several times during the day to hang on my deck and let my dog explore and play.
“Ilana has been checking in our dog, Bentley, during weekdays since January. She's been very reliable, easy to communicate with, and we can tell that she ensures our buddy gets exercise and love! Would highly recommend her. Thanks Ilana!”
“Julianna was wonderful with Wilbur! I’m sure he loved her drop-ins! She was so easygoing and understanding of our constantly changing plans- we were very happy to work with her again.”

Our cat Angus is not overly affectionate but he took to Nuha immediately. He jumped up in her lap and let her pet him. Nuha was very diligent in the daily drop ins with feeding and litter box care. I unhesitatingly recommend Nuha and will request her in the future. Nuha was also good at problem solving as we omitted to tell her the trick to opening the front door which requires a jiggle of the key!
My first time using a sitter and I had a great experience with Karen. She was communicative, always on time and took excellent care of my kitties. The daily photos gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I will absolutely rebook with Karen in the future!
