“Cassandra was the best! Great with details, very communicative, and, most importantly, she was amazing with our two kitties! They are usually a little skittish, but warmed right up to her. She gave them food and water, played with them, cleaned up after them, and even brushed them (our long-haired cat needs regular grooming). It was such a relief during our vacation to know our girls were in such great hands!”
“Carli was so good with my dog Kip! We just moved into a new place and she went extra lengths to make sure he felt comfortable in his new space while we were out of town. She took great care to send us updates and photos of their dates, and made sure he had the comfort/confidence he needed to settle in without feeling anxious. We are so grateful for you Carli!”
“Patricia took good care of our cat in our week-longabsence. There was some slight miscommunication in dates, but Patricia was more than accommodating to ensure our cat got the number of visits required.”
“Molly did drop-in visits for my cat Maizie while I was out of town and she was great! Maizie can be shy and anxious with new people and Molly was very patient with her. Molly was also willing to administer Maizie's daily oral medication (and to build the necessary trust with Maizie to do so), which was very important to me. I also appreciated how communicative Molly was and how quickly she responded to questions I had while I was away. I would definitely recommend Molly for cat-sitting/cat care!”
“Sarah is professional, caring, and communicative and gave regular updates which I really appreciated. My cat was totally relaxed when I got home. Sarah is my new go to cat sitter!”
“So helpful on her checkins with our cat and even cleaned up after her. Went the extra mile and made us feel more at ease being away from her!”
“Yesenia was amazing, reliable, neat communicative, and gave very detailed updates for each visit. Much gratitude for taking care of Momo and making him feel comfortable! We will not hesitate on using their service again.”
“Erin was kind, communicative, and took such good care of my cats! She provided daily updates and was all around great to work with. I’ll definitely book Erin again!”
“My cats were very comfortable with Calvin and Monica. They were very dependable and took great care of the cats. I was out of town for a long time and I trusted that the cats were fed and safe with them :). Lots of photos and update messages were appreciated. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve helped take care of pets for the past four years, and absolutely adore them! I grew up around family animals and had a lizard of my own for 12 years, I have experiences working with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, as well as farm animals including chickens, rabbits, and goats. I can administer oral medications, and have experience working with senior dogs as well as dogs who have extra care needs. I’m currently a student in school part time with a virtual part time job, so I have lots of flexibility over the summer to take of your furry loved one. If you are seeking a long term pet walker scheduling may change when I’m enrolled in school full time in October. I do not offer pet care in my own home, but am happy to follow any boundaries you keep for your furry loved ones in your own home.
“Michael is an excellent dog walker! He communicates efficiently and clearly, and it’s evident that he has a lot of experience with dogs. We reached out to him for dog walking services, and he had no trouble handling our 80 lb dog, even coming into the house to take her for her walks. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future. Thank you!”
“I lucked out! I had a last minute personal matter, and Kai was quick to let me know what worked best. Papito was happy with his house visit and seemed relaxed. Would happily trust Kai with future drop-in visits.”
“Trustworthy, showed up on time, and best of all my pets loved her right off the bat!”
“Ericka helped us while we were on vacation by checking on our cat, making sure she had fresh food/water and a clean litter box. She sent us pictures of our kitty and gave us updates at every check-in. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. Currently I work from home & attend online grad school. I’m flexible in my routines to prioritize pet care. I have my weekends free at this time. My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.
“Lydia was great with my cats and very nice. I appreciate her being able to accommodate me last minute”
“Kexin was an amazing sitter! She came over for a meet and greet and asked questions and took notes about how best to take care of my cat Camomile. I would recommend her services to anyone! :)”
“Wendy took such great care of my cats! She gave detailed updates of each visit and took a lot of cute pictures. It's comforting knowing they were well taken care of while I was away!”
About: I am a responsible and energetic animal lover! I enjoy taking walks and being outdoors. I have a lifetime of personal experience and 3 years of professional pet experience. I love giving pets lots of love and plenty of fun and exercise. I plan to volunteer at my neighborhood dog rescue. I currently Dog/House sit for a family that I nanny for. I always want to provide my families and pup friends with an amazing experience. I grew up with a Rottweiler named Thunder. She was the love of my life. We did almost everything together. My bestfriend. That's the bond I am trying to provide to every furry and feathery friend that crosses my path. I hope to bring your furry friend the same joy and good times I gave mine.
About: I have previously owned dogs when I was younger (8yrs -17yrs old), my goal is to provide care for your pet and make them feel comfortable. I will do this by walking, play time, and cuddles and meeting any other needs your pet requires :) I am currently a college student full time, this is my last semester so I have a bit more down time as things are winding down. I am a schedule driven person which leads me to be very attentive. I believe in treating your animal in how I treat mines with lots of love. All animals are different, but I want to be able to provide a comfortable environment while they’re away from home

Mariam A.
“We have a mixed menagerie of pets - a dog, cat, gold fish, and bearded dragon. Our animal clan didn’t scare off Mariam nor did our 1 month trip. Mariam’s attention to detail soared above and beyond our expectations, and our crew was well taken care of. What separates Mariam from other pet sitters is her willingness to support the feeding & hygiene needs of each animal. She was willing to purchase & maintain crickets for our beardie on a weekly basis, she replaced the terrarium heat lamp when it stopped working, and she cleaned the fish bowl, terrarium & kitty litter box. Our furry critters love her as much as we do! I highly recommend Mariam as a pet sitter.”

“Caitlin has taken excellent care of my dog, Murphy, whenever I leave town. Murphy is always excited to see Caitlin. They have a blast together. Caitlin goes above and beyond, sending me thoughtful updates with pictures when i’m gone. She has great empathy for animals and is highly qualified to fulfill their needs when pet owners are unavailable to.”

Rachael C.
“Rachael is an amazing pet caregiver, a very caring, loving, and responsible person that I would definitely trust with my animal. From the first day that I met Rachael, they have been the most attentive person I've met in terms of animal care, and I would highly recommend them as a care taker for anyone's animal, and I believe this would be an amazing opportunity for them to delve into, thank you!”
