“Christine has looked after Mystery several times. She always sends thoughful updates and I know Mystery is in great hands while I am away. Thank you so much Christine!”


Aaron T.

“This was my first time using a pet sitter for my kittens. Aaron patiently answered all my questions and was clearly knowledgeable about caring for cats. He was pleasant to work with and communicative at every step. I came home to a clean house and two happy cats. Couldn't be happier!”


Zara K.

“Zara is so great with Cats! My cat Meelo has never had a cat sitter before and has always been very shy with strangers. Zara and Meelo warmed up so quicklly! I was glad to see Meelo took to Zara and he let her pet him. I think Zara's kind nature and patience helped her get close to Meelo. I'm grateful my kitty wasn't too lonely while I was away and I highly recommend Zara.”


Sarah W.
“My dog loves staying with Sarah! On top of providing a fun and comfortable stay, Sarah has been very flexible after I’ve had two cancelled flights delaying my return. My dog loves attention and cuddles and I never have to worry about leaving him with Sarah.”


Grace L.
“Grace is very trustworthy and dependable. I never have concerns leaving my fur babies (1 dog and 2 cats) in her care. She spends time just cuddling and playing with them above and beyond the essential duties of feeding, medicating, walking, and litter scooping. They clearly like to see her and so having her around makes that part of my leaving home completely stress-free. If an issue arises or she has a question/concern about their behavior or whatever she’s very reliable about reaching out via text or email. I have no reservations in recommending her as a pet sitter.”


Thea S.

“Booked again with Thea, and everything was perfect, yet again! Puppies were worn out when we got home! Definitely book with her! You will not be disappointed!”


Jessica A.
About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I have cared for dogs with physical disabilities and who require medications. I am also a nurse so feel very comfortable in the caregiving role. I work from home so have a reasonable amount of flexibility. I take my own dogs for a walk twice a day and regularly visit dog parks for socialization. I have a fully enclosed deck with yard space. I have two dogs of my own one of whom is blind. My kids are 12 and 14 and they also love pets. They would enjoy playing with new pups if the owner's approve.


Sophia C.
“For the past five years, Sophia has taken care of our 12 year old dog Pepper, and 6 year old cat Brix when we have gone out of town. It was apparent from the beginning that Sophia really loves animals. Our pets were always very well cared for with regular walks for Pepper and combings for Brix. Each time we came home to a clean house and contented pets. I highly recommend Sophia to provide the loving care that your pets deserve!”


Devyn M.

“Devyn was helpful and attentive to my cat! I appreciated that Devyn asked me exactly how to help and I felt that my kitty was safe and sound.”


Hershini G.

“Hershini was wonderful with my cat Minerva! She was very attentive to details and a great communicator. I came home to a very happy and healthy kitty. Will definitely book again when I'm out of town next. Thank you Hershini!”


Fox A.

“felt great knowing Poppyseed had Fox droppin in and checkin on her while we were gone!”


Christine T.
About: I have a tabby at home that I take care of daily and I have interacted with cats of all kinds through family and friends. From litter scooping, to feeding and playtime, I’m extra experienced in the cat multiverse. I regularly care for my own cat and have a flexible job that allows me to have an open schedule to drop by when needed! I am very attentive to a cat’s needs - I’m patient with them if they need space, play with them if they have the zoomies, and make sure they have food and water readily available. My own tabby cat has separation anxiety, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your pet when you’re away.


Beth C.

“Beth did a great job checking in on my cat! She sent lots of updates and put me at ease while I’m away. Highly recommend her!”


Ondrehya F.

“I was off the grid for a surfing trip and Ondrehya sent me messages every time she visited. Super detailed and so accommodating. Will def book with her again!”


Grey M.
“Grey is so amazing with animals! I’ve trusted them several times with my rambunctious kitty, Frida. Grey would visit several times daily and send lots of pics playing with Frida. I would trust them with any living being. Grey is my favorite pet sitter and I know they will love and care for any of my pets responsibly and lovingly.”


Jay T.

“Jay was absolutely amazing! I was able to go away for a few nights and not have to worry about them taking care of our two kittens. I’ll definitely ask Jay to watch our fur babies in the future.”


Chabeli H.
“Chabeli is incredible! I've seen her take such great care of her dog Winnie - being cutesy with her, making sure Winnie gets her walks, and involving her in any way she can. There were a few moments when I bring my dog (Teddy) and she spent time with him. Giving him lots of scratches and love! I recommend her for all the love your fur baby needs!”


Ostyn S.

“We've used Ostyn to watch our pets for us a few times now and he has been very reliable and relates well with both our cats and dogs. Ostyn is good with details, on time, and concerned with keeping things clean. He has no difficulty managing the very differing personalities of both our large and small dog and cares about building trust with our 7 cats.”


Laura J.

“Laura was awesome!! She calmed my nerves by checking on my kitten in such short notice. She sent thorough and cute messages along with the most adorable pictures of my fur baby! Will definitely be asking to come check on Haku again. ?”


Megan K.

“Megan does an amazing job of giving us detailed updates throughout her visit with our dog. With plenty of detail and photos. We find ourselves looking forward to her check in reports because they are so well crafted. We would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
