Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. I love all types of critters and I've never met an animal I didn't like! From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way! I am an experienced sitter and have been watching, walking, and caring for pets of friends, family, and clients for well over a decade. Additionally, I have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines very quickly. While I hold a full time day job I am looking to fill some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species so if you're in my area I'd love to meet you and your pets! I work full time with a varying schedule between 5:30am and 5:30 pm. I will often available for walks and check ins during evening hours with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. I am a cleanly person who will leave your home the way you left it and your pets safe while I am there! I am confident I can provide a trustworthy experience for you.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, from cats to cows! I love animals of all kinds and am excited to meet yours! I am currently working a few jobs part time, so I will be able to provide attentive care for most of the work week and weekend. I have an unfenced yard and a park right in front of my house. The neighborhood is great for walks. My home is large and I am comfortable staying in clients homes.

Caitlin was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for!! Kind, thoughtful, responsible, caring, and went above and beyond to accommodate our travel plans. Our cat was on vacation just as much as we were! 11/10!!
