“Dominic was communicative, caring, and attentive to Pete’s needs! Despite the rain, he got him out for two walks, and played with him inside as well. Thanks Dominic!”


“Awesome sitter!! Only booked her for 1 visit daily but when she saw my cat had puked during her first visit, she came back unprompted to check on my cat again later that day.”


“Rebecca has taken wonderful care of our pack time and time again. She is very thoughtful and sends heartwarming updates for every visit. We highly recommend her and would not think of using anyone else to watch our pets when we are out of town.”


“Paige was amazing! She was a quick responder to messages, communicative, detailed in her overviews of the drop ins, an extremely kind person, and did great/was accommodating with my cat! I would rebook in a heartbeat 😊”


“I was nervous about finding a sitter for my two bunnies, as not many people have experience with them. Lavinia asked questions and welcomed my extensive 2-page care instructions. While I was away, Lavinia kept me updated on how much the bunnies ate/drank, built bonds with both of them, sent me plenty of pictures, and didn’t hesitate to do weird things like tell me what the bunnies’ poops looked like 😂 Both my bunnies were happy when I returned, and the room was even tidied up for me. I’m so grateful!”


“Ronnie took the best care of our babies! I was nervous having a new kitten at home and Ronnie eased my fears by taking such good care of him. Thank you Ronnie!”


“I genuinely feel like Scout is in good hands whenever I book with David. He looks after her with genuine care and always goes the extra mile to make sure she’s having a good time while I’m away. I will definitely be looking to book with him in the future.”


“Alyssa does a great job caring for my cats while I’m away! She’s super easy to communicate with! It’s nice to know my cats are being well taken care of while I’m gone!”

“Jess is great with my kitties. I love that she sends me pictures so I can see them everyday while I’m gone. Always on time and even checked up after a visit when I was home to see how one of my kitties was doing. Highly recommend her!”


“Caroline is truly the best of the best. Our cats can be goofy, stubborn, and needy, but Caroline handles it with such grace. This time around, one of our cats was recovering from a recent illness, and leaving him is always hard during these times. Caroline was incredibly attentive to his needs, giving these worried parents a great sigh of relief knowing our cats were cared for and loved. Thank you, Caroline!”


“Megan provided exceptional care for our cats, Fen and Clover, during a week-long stay. We were particularly impressed by her diligence during a heavy snowfall, when she not only shoveled our steep driveway to safely get to the door but also patiently waited over an hour for our frozen door to thaw, ensuring she could reach our pets and tend to them. Megan's dedication, combined with regular updates and photos, gave us complete peace of mind. She's a reliable, professional, and genuinely caring cat sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch care for their feline companions.”

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets! My family owned an English Mastiff breeding and showing business. We had 5 mastiffs and they were all my best friends. I also had 4 cats. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’ve watched all different animals of different sizes, ages, and needs. I will be happy to send updates and pictures! I’ve recently lost my old dog (Rex) that I cared for and I miss having pets around. My happiest self comes out when I’m with animals! Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available on the weekends now for boarding and drop-in visits since I work full time Monday-Friday. I can do some drop-ins and walks on weekday early mornings and evenings as well! My home has a fenced in yard, mounted food and water bowls, a dog bed, dog gates on every stairwell, and I even have extra dog food. There are stairs to get into my house, but I used to carry my old mastiff up and down them so it should be no problem for me.
