“Anna was great! In the photos she sent of my cat, Archie, you could almost hear the purring. He obviously got spa treatment with petting, brushing and play. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our 12 cats while we were away for a week, and we couldn’t be happier. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We came home to calm, happy cats and a tidy space. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring and dependable catsitter!”
“Lauren was very responsive and punctual! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Tucker while I was gone for two days and made sure to go beyond just walking/feeding him but also spent time playing with him and bonding. I loved receiving updates while I was gone.”
“Allison was amazing! We’ve had some crazy pet sitter experiences and she eased my mind so much. Our cat looked so happy in all his photo’s and she gave him lots of love at every visit. Will absolutely be booking with her every time we go out of town! 10/10.”
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and have been there for over five years. Through this experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My job requires patience, attentiveness, strong communication, and a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. We also board cats, so I am very comfortable with them as well. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. I’m flexible with my schedule and usually available, and I’m happy to provide frequent updates and photos. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine with my own dog Bentley, and I’m excited to get to care for your pet/s as well. I’m open to trying anything that best suits your dog’s needs and routines. I’m comfortable handling dogs of any size, age, or even multiple dogs at once.
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Claire was an amazing sitter! She kept me updated the entire time and was quick to problem solve when my high maintenance cat threw some curve balls. She cared for her just like we would and I got to enjoy my weekend because I knew she was in good hands. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Brooke did a great job with my three kitties. She was very consistent and reliable. It has really helped to further socialize these feral kittens that I brought into my house. Grateful for her help!”
“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”
“I hadn't taken a vacation in a long time, and I was worried about my two baby cats. Taylor set my mind and heart at ease by sending me daily reports and pictures. She is VERY reliable and trustworthy. I will definitely be asking for her services again. My cats are usually not sociable, but they loved her! Highly recommend! It's easy to give her 5 stars!”
“I highly recommend Tyler! My two cats received the care and attention they needed, and my house was very well kept! Tyler is very friendly and trustworthy. You will not be disappointed!”
About: My approach is always personalized, focusing on each pet's unique needs and ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience in caring for a wide range of pets, including puppies, senior animals, and those with special needs. I’m currently a college student home for the summer so have a bunch of open time to care and love for your pets. My open schedule ranges any hour Monday-Saturday and anytime after 1 pm on Sundays When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment. I ensure that they have plenty of space to play, rest, and explore, with access to toys, cozy bedding, and regular outdoor time for exercise and bathroom breaks. I pay close attention to any specific instructions regarding diet, medications, and special needs to ensure the pet's well-being and comfort. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and secure, whether they are in my home or theirs.
“We had a great experience with Helena. She was punctual with visits and very reliable. It was very easy to communicate with her and get updates when needed. My cats warmed up to her quickly.”

I truly cannot say enough good things about Taylor, she is an absolute godsend of a cat sitter. I had to be out of town for an entire month, and naturally I was nervous about leaving my cat, Scarlett, for that long. Taylor came over beforehand to meet her, and Scarlett instantly loved her, which already told me everything I needed to know. From day one, Taylor went above and beyond. She came every single day for a full hour, gave Scarlett so much love and attention, and took the most incredible care of her. She sent me detailed updates about what they did together and always included tons of photos (10+ a day!), which brought me so much peace while I was away. I felt completely comfortable the entire time knowing Scarlett was in Taylor’s care. She is thoughtful, reliable, communicative, and genuinely loving with animals. I could feel how much she truly cared, and that made all the difference. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Scarlett was in the very best hands, and I’m beyond grateful I found Taylor. If you’re considering booking her - do it!! She’s truly one of a kind, and I would recommend her a thousand times over! Thank you, Taylor, for taking such beautiful care of my girl! 💖🐾
Tia was great. She came to the house to meet my gang before we booked and went above and beyond when I was away. She was flexible with what I needed and helpful with everything, even when I got sick and had to come home early. I would definitely have her again!
Ev really saved us this holiday season! Our normal sitter had something come up last minute so we had to find someone same day on Christmas Eve! Ev responded very quickly and took such great care of our cat over the holiday. I told Ev that there was no way our outdoor cat would interact with her, but one day later she sent a picture of her petting our cat! Animals know kind souls.
We had an excellent experience Hannah and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Caring for multiple cats can be a challenge, but she handled it effortlessly with patience, organization, and genuine affection. She took the time to understand each cat’s individual personality, needs, and routines, ensuring everyone received the attention and care they required. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and we returned home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats. It was clear they felt comfortable and secure in her care. Professional, dependable, and truly kind, she went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again.
I can’t thank Claire enough for the amazing care she gave my three cats over the past 8 weeks! From the very first visit, it was clear how much she truly love animals. Each of my cats has their own personality, and Claire took the time to connect with all of them — even my shy one came out for cuddles every visit! Her updates and photos were such a comfort while I was away. I could tell the cats were happy, well-fed, and totally spoiled with attention. The litter boxes were completely changed many times and everything done exactly as I asked. It’s not easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pets, but Claire is that person. I came home to three relaxed, happy kitties — the best sign of all. I’m so grateful for the care and love she put into every visit and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend! 🐾💜🐾
Ruth Ann has a special connection with animals and was very good with our cats! She sent great pictures and was very responsive to our messages. We had a last minute booking, and she put our minds to ease for our trip! Highly recommend booking Ruth Ann for any pet sitting needs!
Reese was the very best cat sitter for my cat, Bennett! She is always quick to respond to our messages, completes everything on our checklist, and sends the best photos when you need them most. In the past we would come home to Bennett being highly anxious. However, this time, we could tell he was the most at ease we have ever seen. I highly recommend Reese to anyone who is looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
