“Melanie is incredibly reliable. She was able to watch my cats with very little notice. As before, she took wonderful care of them and I returned to a meticulously tidy space. Thank you, Melanie!”
“Kelly was fantastic! I was so worried leaving my kitty for the first time and having someone check in, but I was so at ease with her. The updates and pictures every visit made me feel SO much better and I knew my cat was well taken care of while I was away.”
“Robyn stopped in on my cat while I was out of town to feed him. She showed up right on time for all of the bookings and sent me photos / videos each time. By the fourth booking he was greeting her at the door. I know Schneider felt comfortable with her and was a happy camper when I got home from my trip. Robyn showed how much she cared and I would absolutely hire her again. Well worth her rate!”
“We've used Yulissa twice and she's great with communication and always takes great care of our kitty. Will definitely continue to contact her in the future. Thanks Yulissa!”
“This is the second time I’ve used Rhianna to take care of my two cats. They are very shy, but she got both of them out of their shells and they were looking forward to seeing her in no time. She took great care of my babies and I would use her services again!!”
“Sarah went above and beyond to take care of my two cats! Both of my cats have special needs and she spent the extra time to make sure they were both taken care of properly. Without requesting, Sara played with the cats (which they love) and offered to scoop their litter after only being gone a short period of time. Would definitely use Sarah again in the future for drop in visits!”
“Brian was fantastic! He stopped by each day to feed and play with our cat Piper and kept us updated with pictures and comments on how she was doing. It’s clear he genuinely loves and cares about pets and is highly recommended for any pet-sitting needs!”
“Paulina was very accommodating and patient with our fearful dog. She allowed us to go on our camping trip with the peace of mind that Milo was taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates.”
“Jamie is a super star at our house. She watched my old cat for a few days and he instantly felt comfortable around her. I’m definitely booking her services again, and you should too!”
“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”
“Ola was a wonderful cat sitter, especially for my older cat who requires special attention and insulin injections. She handled everything with great care and confidence. I truly appreciated her reliability and how comfortable she made me feel knowing my cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! :)”
“Dorothy did a great job with my senior cat. My cat was in a good mood upon my return which is not always the case when I've been away. We're moving soon but if we weren't I wouldn't hesitate to hire Dorothy again.”
About: If you don't see many photos of me with my pets, it's because they're the cuties and they deserve their own selfies. (Its also because I forget to take photos instead of videos 😅) I’ve lived with both dogs and cats, so I’m familiar with the basics of daily pet care; feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and keeping things tidy. While I haven’t done professional pet sitting long, I’m dependable, respectful of your space, and genuinely care about keeping your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully and always do my best to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and calm in their routine. I'm currently a part-time manager at a clothing store, which gives me a flexible schedule especially in the mornings and early afternoons. I'm not in school right now, so I have more free time during the week and weekends. I love starting my day early and can be available for drop-ins, walks, and check-ins most mornings, with some afternoon and evening availability depending on the day. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and respected. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a clean environment, and pay attention to your pet’s cues and needs. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or nervous pets, and aim to make every visit calm and low-stress. I always treat your home and pets with care as if they were my own.
About: I have experience taking care of pets for more than 10 years I have always had animals and I teach them where to do their needs and tricks to improve their performance and well-being I have all the time available to take care of pets since I work with delivery applications so I manage my time Full time for animal I only have one cat in my house I can take it for a walk I have a park nearby and I have a backyard to take them out to do their needs
“Danielle is a wonderful cat sitter. She took such great care of my cats despite one having some special requirements, and I came home to find them both relaxed and happy. She also kept me updated on how they were doing and how she was spoiling them while I was away.”
About: I've been the family pet care taker since I was six years old, I trained them, feed them, walked them, pet sat for them, and groomed them when they'd let me. I started to walk and sit my neighbors dogs when I turned 16. Since then I've been doing it off and on as a side job. Now I would like to make it a full time career. I've always loved animals and will always treat them with the respect they deserve. Looking for local walks and willing to meet & greet. I'm currently a part timer looking for a better job and if I can get some loyal customers then I might not need the part time jobs anymore. I'm constantly aware of where my pets are and what they are doing. Since I'm afraid they might get out the door. Always keep watch.

Rafael L.
“I highly recommend Rafael as a pet sitter. He has a natural connection with animals and treats them with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. Rafael not only takes excellent care of pets, but he also dedicates time to play with them, train them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. He’s very responsible and attentive to each animal’s needs, and pets tend to quickly bond with him — they absolutely love him! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and passionate about animals, Rafael is the perfect choice.”

Dylan I.
“Dylan has always been friendly and greatly communicative with animals. He’s taken very well care of all animals, cats and dogs especially. He is one of very few people i trust to leave my fur babies in the care of. his experience does not fall short as i have always witnessed him caring for a animal whether it was his dogs or cats growing up or any of his family’s animals he is never seen without a fur baby! I highly recommend his service!”
