Thanks Ryan! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ryan! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. They took the time to understand our cat’s routine, quirks, and preferences, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each visit came with thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that made us feel connected and reassured. It was clear our cat was not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoyed their company. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet and everything exactly as we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!

Jenie was a wonderful cat sitter and went above and beyond for my cats. From returning to make sure my anxious cat ate, to caring for my cats an extra day when my flight got canceled she always made sure my cats were in good hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

About: I always acknowledge that our furry friends aren’t just pets, but living beings with feelings and boundaries that deserve to be respected. If your pet needs a little more time and patience getting to know me, I’m open to doing a meet and greet in your home before you decide to fully commit to make sure everyone is comfortable before we establish a working relationship! I work from home so my schedule is flexible! I prefer mornings and afternoons, though I can adjust my hours to fit you and your individual needs. I provide plentiful updates and clear communication to ensure that you and your pet are well taken care of, if it’s important to you it’s important to me!

I love how she sends pictures and communicates so well before/during/after visits. I know my cat loved her at first sight and I feel so comfortable having her take care of my girl.
