Jenn was responsive, helpful, caring, and attentive when looking after Shay. She’ll definitely be my go-to from here on out whenever I need someone to trust with Shay.

Amber was a great sitter for my standoffish cat, always giving him plenty of space. I always really appreciated the detailed notes and photos she left for me, and she went above and beyond with tidying up litter and food. Thank you Amber!!

Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!

During my 2-week absence, Christian did a fabulous job caring for my cats Tommy and Coco. Because she was communicative and responsive, I experienced no anxiety about leaving them in her care. Christian sent me wonderful pictures and texts that reflected her extraordinary gift for compassionate caregiving. Tommy and Coco were obviously happy and stress free because Christian loved and cared for them as I do. My cats were literally crazy for her, as she spoiled them rotten. Amazingly, Tommy posed in pictures with Christian, as if she’d raised him from a kitten; and my skittish Coco, who normally hides from strangers, allowed Christian to regularly find her “hiding.” I give Christian my highest praise for a job exceptionally done. I could not have been more pleased. Not only is she professional and courteous, Christian has a phenomenal gift of spirit. For anyone seeking pet care of excellent quality, I would recommend Christian. In the future, she will be my first choice to care for my Tommy and Coco.

This was our first time having Meghan care for our two kitties (big cats). My first comment is, she is a blessing. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were without a cat sitter shortly before going out of country for over 2 weeks and were more than a little stressed. Luckily, we found Meghan who not only was available but made us feel totally at ease. She is a great communicator and goes the extra mile. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely continue to have her care for our kitties for all of our future needs.

About: I've had pets all my life, there's not a moment in my life where I never had a pet. I love animals and having the opportunity to make them happy makes me happy. I have 3 dogs of different sizes and personalities and one cat who loves being loved. Everyday I feed my pets and walk my dogs ensuring they get as much activity as possible. I like to go over the pet's care routine laid out by the owners making sure to keep detailed notes. I walk the dogs whether it be a particular length of time or desired route.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: +15 years caring / sitting dogs and cats Sat multi animal homes including 3-4 dogs and 6-7 cats. Sometimes I feel I’d qualify to work at a literal zoo. High energy and punctual - prepared to walk / play as long as your dog needs. Administered medicines including pills, powders, creams, ear/ mouth injections, to a range of animals (young-senior). Patients range from very grumpy cats to unenthused dogs. Cared for several animals and administered medicines as needed. Ranging from retired greyhounds who have trouble walking to elderly bulldogs who may need a helpful roll to get up. I am a full time artist so I have a very flexible work schedule. I work from home so I can schedule drop ins and walks on short notice and with limited interruption. I have a reliable vehicle to get me to and from visits. I’ll provide unobtrusive and reliable pet care in your home. I am neat, don’t rush, and I pay attention to detail. I am door locking stickler and a double checker. I’ll stick to the script and let you know if there are any regularities.

We are so glad to have chosen Danielle to check in on our cat, Mo. She’s a really nice gal and more importantly Mo approved……and he’s not easy to please! She visited everyday and sent us pics. We’d definitely use her services again if we need to!

Savannah was awesome! I got ants in my cat food the day before leaving for vacation and she was game to follow my admittedly strange instructions on how to keep ants out of the cat food. She sends great pictures and updates. She's definitely a person to trust with your pets while you're away! 10/10 😊

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!

Hampton is so wonderful! My (normally shy) cat trusts him and is totally comfortable with him which is such a treat and a testament to Hampton’s gentleness. Hampton is always so communicative and lovely and provides the best updates. He even goes so far as to tidy up litter box and take out trash, which I so appreciate! I will continue booking him as long as he’s able to!
