“Abby’s services are great! I used her for a 30 minute check in and asked her to play with my dog but he wasn’t in a playful mood so she walked him instead! She’s keen on listening to the needs of my dog. Will absolutely keep using her for drop ins and walks!”
“Courtney is friendly, communicative & professional. I felt 100% comfortable asking her to drop in on my two cats. She left great notes after each of her visits. She quickly picked up on their personalities. And, I could tell they thoroughly enjoyed her visits. I'd be happy to have Courtney catsit again -- and I definitely recommend her to others.”
“Best cat sitter ever! Morgan took our four cats under his wing while we were away for a long vacation. Daily reports where thorough and photos were reassuring, and helped keep us comfortable and worry-free. Morgan is a godsend, especially for cat parents who want the best care for their babies. He is easy to talk to, has a genuine love for cats, is trustworthy, reliable, and will do his best to make sure your babies are cared for. Thanks, Morgan! Our babies are thankful, too! Andy”
“Heather took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town for a whole week. She provided me with regular updates, sent tons of pics of play time or just to get clarification on anything. I left some notes on details about my cat and things items to address and she followed them to the letter! She even offered to brush her when I mentioned she likes that. Could not recommend Heather any stronger! She’s awesome!”
About: I am interested in 30 minute check ins on your cat/cats. I take very seriously caring for animals and will take good care of yours.😊 I work w special needs adults during the week and would like to do something with my time off! Check ins on the weekends and some evenings would be great. I have a rescue cat, Callie, who I adore. My son has a cat, Biscuit, who I absolutely adore. Fortunately they live only a few miles away so I am able to see Biscuit regularly. My son texts me pics of her all the time!🥰 I adore animals and consider myself a responsible caregiver. I would love to do 30 minute cat check ins in my neighborhood. Thank you very much.
“Isabella is the best! She’s taken care of our cats several times now. She always arrives when planned and stays in communication with updates and notes on how they are doing. We will definitely hire Isabella for future trips!”
“Page checked in on my cat while I was away for the holidays. Not only did I receive the most heart-warming photos, Page also was kind enough to bring packages inside that had been delivered after I left. Page is very easy to communicate with and is thoughtful as well. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer communicated promptly and was super easy to work with. She looked after my cat for several days and sent regular updates with photos. My cat seemed very happy with her and very well taken care of when we came home. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Julie was fantastic and our cats clearly enjoyed having her come by for a visit! We needed someone who could provide insulin injections for our diabetic cat while checking on and feeding our other two cats. It was a treat to see all the pictures Julie took of our cats being adorable and clearly seeking her attention! Haha! We're looking forward to hiring Julie again for our next overnight stay!”
