“Angela is a delight. She spends a lot of time with each pet, doing things that make each one feel comfortable and seen. She even cozied up on the floor to make a newer member of the pet family feel like home. She also sends tons of pictures, which is great! I love seeing them being well taken care of. Definitely will ask to help again in the future.”
“Holly & Robert were pleasant and engaged, picked up my pet routine right away. Were kind enough to give me a refund for the 2nd day when my plans changed.”
“I’ve been using Brigit as my go-to drop-in sitter for my cat for maybe 2 years now. I’ve recommended her to multiple friends and she is wonderful with my needy senior cat. She communicates clearly and efficiently, follows my sometime changing instructions, and has wonderful availability. I’ll be using her house sitting services for the first time soon and I can only imagine that my kitty will be stoked to have her around. I truly appreciate Brigit and all she has done for my kitty and I.”

About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.
“Madelynne was very communicative and reliable in dropping in on our two very active dogs for a long weekend. She was professional and polite. She even helped sort out an issue with our auto cat feeder while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”

“Katiek has watched my newfiepoo when I have had to go out of town. Katiek's pets are well socialized and good playmates. Katiek is attentive and loves my dog like her own.

The dogs get plenty of exercise running around the yard and have access to toys and the air conditioning when inside. I recommend Katiek for the owners of well behaved Doodles.”
Ethanee R.Star Sitter
“Ethanee took care of our very finicky 22-year-old cat for 9 days over the holidays. Our cat requires twice daily medication and has special dietary needs. We came home to one very happy, very healthy cat. She provided us daily updates, was meticulous about cleaning the litter box and keeping water cleaned and refilled. As a plus, the house was also spotless!!! Not only is our cat very finicky, we are also very picky about who we trust to care for our fur-baby. We will ask Ethanee to cat sit any time we leave. We cannot thank her enough for the care and attention she showered on our little Reggie.”
