Alissa was very communicative during her check-ins with my cats. She sent lots of pictures and videos which was reassuring to know my cats are in good hands :) Will definitely rebook next time I’m out of town!

Nasimul was great with my cats, as always! He helped out with a last minute request on a bitterly cold weekend - it was nice to know my kitties were safe, fed, and entertained.

About: I’ve pet-sat for over a decade and absolutely love it! I have experience with a wide variety of both dogs and cats. From dogs ranging from 5 pounds to 150 pounds, to cats of all social levels. I enjoy getting to know them all! I am currently a student and work part-time. I have availability in early mornings and any day after 4pm! I am available on weekends as well. No matter what the setting is, I will make sure your pet has my undivided attention. I’ll make sure your pet has fun but is absolutely looked after.

About: I’ve had a large, high energy dogs for the last 4 years, and I’ve sat for smaller dogs for most of my life. I work a normal 9-5, so I’ll be able to drop in on your pets before or after work. On weekends I’m typically free all week when I’m in town. Since I offer in-home pet sitting, I provide care directly in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and their routine stays intact. I follow each client’s instructions closely — feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any behavioral notes — so the pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I treat the client’s home with the same respect I’d want shown to my own, keeping things tidy and secure. During visits I give each pet focused attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply companionship. I stay alert to any changes in behavior or health and communicate with owners promptly if anything concerns me.

Stacey is the best cat sitter I've ever used! I had to leave the country for a month, and she took excellent care of my cat. I received several pictures daily and detailed updates, which reassured me he was in good hands. Even during a building fire alarm, she visited him to ensure his safety.

Our first time having Maggie care for our cats went great! After spending a year and a half working hard to integrate our two cat household, this was our first time leaving them alone together for more than a day, and one of our kitties needs daily anxiety medication to keep the peace. We were gone for 5 days and when we came back everyone was happy, healthy and the house looked just as it did when we left it. Will definitely be using Maggie again in the future if our schedules align!

I can’t recommend my Alissa enough—truly one of the best experiences I’ve had. From the very beginning, she handled everything with so much ease, patience, and professionalism. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and just genuinely kind throughout the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her care, which says a lot. She went above and beyond in small ways too. Overall, she made the entire experience stress-free and seamless. I would recommend her 100 times over without hesitation!
