“McKenzie was fantastic and took care of our two cats while we were away. She went the extra mile and even swept up the litter they were tracking through the house. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“We were new to the area and needed a new sitter for our three cats when we were out of town. Kristin was amazing!!! It was so comforting to know that our cats were in such good hands. We received daily photos and updates and the cats seemed genuinely comfortable with her since the first visit. We’re already rebooking.”

I have a very flexible daily work schedule and can easily accommodate your specific needs. I'm happy to take on clients last minute, schedule permitting.

“Sadie is awesome! We had a little kitten who we were nervous to leave, but once we met Sadie we immediately felt comfortable. Sadie was punctual and sent lots of great updates and photos. We hope to book her again in the future and recommend her highly.”
“I think this was potentially her first time utilizing rover so I’m giving a bit of grace here! I understand it can be a learning experience. I was worried initially because she had missed our first meet and greet due to having a scheduling mistake on her end. When we met the following day because we had to reschedule, I was worried after because she didn’t really ask any questions but I proceeded anyway. The first day she did a drop in but did not start it on the app, so I was very anxious because I did not hear from her 30 minutes into the scheduled visit. I had to reach out to verify she was there, when she got back to me a bit later she didn’t give much information. I had to ask for pics and updates on their feeding. The next day, she visited in the morning and did some better with communication. Though offered to come another time and I declined. She decided to go another time into my home anyway. This felt like a boundary violation because I declined it and she only told me she went after she was already in my home. It was a bit suspect but she was worried about the food feeder so I could understand, but the communication lacked. Otherwise, my cats seemed fine when I got home so I’m happy about that. Communication should have been much better though.”
