Sheri is so caring and she is very professional! Our cats love her and her daily reports gave us much relief that our cats were well cared for while we were away!

I can’t thank Ivonka enough for taking the time to watch my cats over the holidays! They all warmed up to her super quickly and I know they were in good hands this week with someone who has an amazing passion of caring for animals. I received lots of photos of them having a fun time playing and eating their meals while I was out of town. I highly recommend her services!

This was the first time my kitty would be left alone since his companion passed away a few months ago and i was so anxious about leaving him for the weekend while i went out of town, but having Alyssa stay with him while I was away gave me such relief and peace of mind. She administered his eye drops throughout the day and also took him out on walks in his stroller which i know he loved. She also took great care of my home and left it the way she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone and plan to use her again for more upcoming trips. Thanks again Alyssa! I'm glad Louie was able to make a new friend!

Thank you Laura for being wonderful, reliable and kind to my fur baby cat. You are so much more than a pet sitter. You’re a thoughtful and caring caregiver to furry family members. You gave me peace of mind when I couldn’t be there and so happy with your services. Thank you!!

My partner and I are so grateful for Janet! She made our trip completely stress free with her high quality care and service. She took time to greet the cats before we left, and showed she was very sensitive to their needs and boundaries; the cats approved almost right away! During our trip, she kept us updated with pictures of their meals, medication, snuggles, and play time. Janet was also very confident and trustworthy in helping Nyx with her asthma inhaler! We came home to two very happy, comfortable cats, and we could not be more pleased with Janet's help!

About: I’ve been a cat lover my whole life and would love to meet yours! I have 3 medically complex 4 yr old kitties with allergies, autoimmune conditions, urinary issues, and anal gland infections. I administer oral pills and liquid twice daily for them, and have experience with subcutaneous injections. The first cats in my life were outdoor cats in rural Michigan. Some of my fondest memories are of the excitement on the bus ride home from school to play with my cat when I got home. While in college, I raised a kitten with my partner at the time and introduced a second cat a year later. They were both super energetic and loved play time with catnip toys! After that, I adopted a senior kitty who ended up being my first medically complex fur baby. She had her remaining teeth removed recently when I adopted her, but we dealt with chronic ear and eye infections as well as inflammatory bowel disease. A few months after she passed, she sent me my current three medically complex fur babies to look after. My experience with dogs is less extensive, but I’d still love to meet yours! Growing up we’d dog sit for my grandpa’s medium sized dog and my best friend had 2 wire fox terriers. More recently, I’ve watched my friend’s tiny chihuahua for a few days who got along well with my cats 🐶🐱 I am currently in between jobs, previously working as a software developer and project manager. I have lots of availability for drop-in visits and walks any day of the week 😸🐾 Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are my top priority as a pet sitter. Please let me know about any medical concerns, so I can properly care for your pet. I will diligently follow care instructions and provide detailed updates on your pet. I will also ensure your home is the same if not cleaner than when I entered if applicable.

About: I have had cats for over 10 years. I love them; they are my family! I have experience with cats of different ages. I also have experience administering medicine, both topically and orally. I love meeting new cats and I cannot wait to meet your fur-babies! I own a bakery so I make my own hours. I work most days, but can easily come before, after, or during work if needed for a check in! I will adapt my visits to best suit your cat. Do they like to be left alone? Fine with me! I’ll see if they’re doing okay and let them be. Do they like attention? Even better! I will give them so many pets! I want them to be as comfortable as possible!

Jaime was fantastic. I always feel a little uneasy giving our house keys and garage/alarm codes to others but I didn't worry about it this time. She inspires trust and I felt that right away when we first met her. And believe all the reviews - Jaime does take amazing photos. She was able to take some great shots of our kitties! It was very comforting and reassuring to see all the photos while we were away. We will definitely be working with Jamie again.

About: I have worked at the animal shelter for the past 4 years when home from college and I have 4 dogs of my own at home :) I love all animals especially dogs I have a 9-5 during the week with flexible hours giving me time to care for animals before and after work. I also work remote on Wednesdays and Fridays so I am free anytime those days and weekends to care for animals. I have a fenced in yard and dogs of my own that your dogs can play with. I can also crate your dog or do any other requests that the animal would normally do in their own home.

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

Laura did a wonderful job with Skylar. She is extremely conscientious; went above and beyond cleaning up a mess and watering plants. But most importantly, I was confident Sky was in good hands and having some fun play time too! Can't wait to use her services again!
