“Shannon did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats while we were out of town. The kitties are still fat and sassy, and actually came out to say hello for their check in photos! Highly recommended.”
“Isabella is AWESOME. She made a last-minute request such an easy and smooth process. So communicative and lovely to chat with. We will absolutely be requesting her again!”
“Alyssa was a great pet sitter! She took care of my indoor cat for two weeks. She met him beforehand and he warmed up to her quickly. She listened to and followed all instructions. Alyssa was also very easy to work with and responsive to messages. She shared great pictures of him daily, which we really appreciated. She played with him, brushed him, and feed him (and cleaned up one spit up). She clearly has a great connection to pets and I highly recommend her.”
“Took care of my kitty babies while I was out of town. Did a great job. Kept them fed, kept the litter boxes clean and went above and beyond by taking care of my plants too:)! Very good at communicating and overall just really nice.”
“Eddie provided drop-in visits for our hound dog Milo while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. He took good care of Milo and communicated well with us throughout, giving us great peace of mind. Would definitely recommend.”
“Catherine recently watched our two cats for two weeks. She was consistent, a good communicator, and provided daily updates which provided us with a lot of peace of mind while traveling internationally. This was our first time hiring a professional pet sitter instead of leaning on family and friends. We had a great experience and will definitely hire Catherine again.”
“We love Elijah!! Our cats are shy and all need different things and he has been able to earn their trust an affection. We feel so at ease whenever we go out of town because we know Elijah will take great care of our pets. We highly recommend his services!”
“Allyson was such a wonderful sitter for our kitty! Her messages always made me smile and I could tell how much our little boy loved her from all of the pictures she took the time to send 🙂 Thank you Allyson!”
“Chloe is terrific! She came out for a meet-and-greet before my scheduled stay and I could immediately tell she is experienced with animals (and my kitties loved her)! She sent great updates and loads of pictures while I was away, giving me complete confidence that my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book Chloe again and I highly recommend her.”
“I had a great experience with Cathy! Her communication was excellent - she was responsive, clear, and kept me updated with detailed messages. She recognized my cat was overly anxious while I was away and she was more than willing to adjust the plans to fit my needs. Would highly recommend and will be booking for future services!”
“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I take pride in providing safe, loving, and reliable care for every pet I meet. Over the years, I’ve also cared for animals with health challenges, including those battling cancer, and I understand how important it is to provide gentle, attentive, and consistent care. Whether your pet needs medication, extra comfort, or just a calm presence, I treat every animal with compassion and respect — as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and my goal is to make that experience as easy and reassuring as possible. You can count on me to keep up with their routines, give them lots of love and attention, and send regular updates so you always know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pets aren’t just animals — they’re family :) I currently attend graduate school full time and love taking care of all animals in my free time! I have two cats of my own who i love and spoil! Trusting someone with an animal is hard and I am here to make sure your cat or dog always feels loved and safe while you are gone!
“Sierra is our go-to sitter and she always does a fantastic job taking care of our house and kitties. Highly recommend and look forward to our next trip knowing our pets will have excellent care!”
“Elizabeth is fantastic! Clio requires special care, and Elizabeth was super communicative and comprehensive in our upfront prep, and was great during her drop-in visit to make sure everything went smoothly for Clio. She was attentive to our fur baby's needs, and Clio seemed to have a great time hanging with her! We will definitely be working with Elizabeth again!”
“It was our first time using Kristina to watch over our pet while we were away, and it won’t be our last!! She was very sweet to our girl and our home while we were gone and felt a great piece of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you so much Kristina!”
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”
