Cathalina is a AMAZING! You won’t find a better pet sitter than her. We initially hired her to do 1 hour drop in visits for our 2 cats while we were traveling. A few days into traveling, one of our cats started peeing blood. Cathalina informed us, took both our cats to the vet, switched to house sitting for the remainder of the trip, and did her best to administer prescribed medications to our very resistant kitty. She goes far above and beyond what you would expect a sitter to do for you, and gave us peace of mind when we couldn’t be there for our kitties. We’ve never trusted someone so quickly with our cats… and they love her too! We would 100% hire her again.

Leyna took care of my 2 cats while I was away on vacation, and she did a great job! She sent many photos, took care of their food/water/litter, played and gave treats, and left the house clean and tidy. Will definitely have back!

Amy cares deeply about animals and her professionalism and kindness made me feel secure about 99's care. She not only ensured that 99 was fed and watered every day, but also provided her with enough exercise and entertainment. I received photos and videos of 99 during my absence, which showed that she was happy and content, and this made me even more confident in Amy's care. Overall, I feel very lucky to have had Amy take care of my cat, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible pet sitter.

Angela has watched my cat Mason twice while I've been out of the country and she put my mind at ease! She sends lovely pictures and updates about him and when I get home, he's very calm and relaxed, rather than stressed from my being away. I'd recommend Angela to any cat parents!

I had a wonderful experience with Michele as my cat sitter. This was my first time leaving my cats at home while on a trip, and naturally, I was a bit worried. But Michele handled everything brilliantly. She's not only patient but also very good at keeping in touch, which eased my mind. What impressed me the most was how she connected with my shy cat, Tequila. He usually takes time to warm up to new people, but he felt at ease with Michele right from the start. It was such a comfort to see him not hiding anymore. I highly recommend Michele to anyone who needs a reliable and caring cat sitter.

About: I have hands on experience with pet sitting, walking, and basic training. I’ve also worked with service dogs in training, so I understand patience, structure, and individualized care. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and everything in between. I’m a student at UMass Boston (going into veterinary medicine) and available Tuesdays after 1pm, all day Thursdays, and weekends. My partner works from home, so overnight stays are supported. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home or yours, I provide a secure, clean, and comfortable environment while following routines, giving pets consistent care, supervision, and love.

About: Give me your hissy, medicated, high maintenance kitties! Hi I’m Val and I’m a cat lover. I’ve cared for cats my entire life (34 years and counting) and would love to take care of your kitties while you’re out of town! I can do the following: -Medications (shots, pills, liquids, topicals) -Specialized dietary needs (powders, toppers, etc) -Change filters on filtered water bowls -Light Grooming (brushing, front paw trims) -Litterbox maintenance -Can bathe cats if necessary (medical needs) -Will not judge you one single bit for being neurotic about your pet I have 3 cats, ages 4, 8, and 14. My 8 year old cat has severe allergies, so I have a lot of experience giving her pills, liquids, and shots. I also had to give her routine baths for a while, so I’m pretty good at that, too. My 14 year old is, well, old, and has health issues from time to time and sometimes pees/poops herself and also requires a bath. She also poops outside the litterbox and drags her butt on the kitchen floor. I tell you this to let you know that I’m happy to care for your cats no matter their medical status or age and will always clean up after them, judgement free. The 4 year old cat is a sour patch kid - sour then sweet - but I love her no matter her mood! She’s usually the reason for the scratches on my arm, but it’s my fault because I love to mess with her. I’ll love your cats too, even if they’re a little sour. Please reach out with any questions! I work from home so my schedule has a little flexibility to it. I’d prefer to check in between 6 am and 8 am or after 5 pm. I also have cats and understand sometimes they throw up or poop outside the litterbox. I will always clean up any mess that I see/smell and will not leave it for when you get home! Cats enjoy a clean, calming home as much as humans do. Otherwise I will respect your cat's boundaries and give them pets if they want and will only pet with my eyes if that’s more their vibe.

Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.

Cerra is an awesome pet sitter and did a great job watching our 2 older kitties while we were away! When we had to unexpectedly extend our trip due to a huge Noreaster, Cerra was quick to respond and braved the elements to make sure they were taken care of. Cerra provided great daily updates while we were away (including lots of candid photos) and made sure the cats were fed and entertained each day. Highly recommended for anyone's pet-sitting needs 🐱
