Highly recommend! Mads did a great job taking time and working with my puppy even tho my puppy was being quite anxious/fearful during the first visit. Gave detailed updates and was very communicative. Will be booking again.

About: I am a lover of both cats and dogs and aim to make your pet feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with dogs, fostered dogs in college, and currently own two cats. I am happy to provide regular or one-off care for your pet! Cats: I have experience giving my cats both liquid and pill medication, and clipping their nails. I work remotely full-time and can easily arrange my schedule to accommodate new bookings. I do not own a car and will prioritize bookings that are closer to my apartment. Please provide the nearest cross streets to your location when reaching out if possible. I leave my client’s homes in the same state they were prior to booking and do my best to ask all questions about pet and clients needs ahead of time.

About: I’m a patient, attentive pet sitter with a calm approach, who respects boundaries and wants the best experience for both you and your pet. I have cared for dogs my whole life and cats for about 5 years. Also I have done a year of walking on WAG! I treat every furry friend as if it were my own! I have open availability weekdays and weekends for requests. I use public transit, biking, or walking as transportation so can get to places relatively quick. I believe that animals are a blessing to us and only deserve the most of our appreciation. When you are away I will assure your furry friend has everything they desire.

Lavinia did amazing with my cats, Flint and Cherry. She worked magic with Flint who is significantly less social than his sister. We got pictures every day of her petting, feeding, and playing with them both. She was also careful about Cherry's food allergies. I'll definitely look to book with her again in the future!

Jenie was great! We hadn’t left our cats alone since they started needing daily medication and wasn’t sure how they would do with a sitter. The second day, one of our cats hid from her but she stayed for 4 hours until she was able to lure him out and give him his medicine, and got some treats to make the process easier going forward. We also had an issue with the lock on our door she had to contend with. Grateful for her help despite the hurtles!

I would highly recommend Hannah to any cat owner. She was amazing and clearly spent lots of time with Kiki and did everything wonderfully with clear communication and lots of photos. My cat is not the easiest to get along with and she managed his “overstimulated” nature with ease. You’re the best, Hannah!

We always have concerns about being able to get in this building and whether the elevator is working so it was great when she sent a message immediately then followed up with pictures every day and status update. The boy loves people but also can be unpredictable and bitey. No problem, he even sat on her lap which is something he has only recently done with me! There were no problems and, best of all, no worries. Highly recommend Lee.

Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my recent week long vacation! My cat is generally shy around new guests but immediately wanted pets from Jessica. She has great communication skills and replied to my messages very quickly, which I value. Her visits were always within the agreed upon timeframe, which helped me fully relax and enjoy my vacation. She provided detailed updates with lots of photos. I trust her and plan to book with her next time I'm away.
