Highlights
Pet care experience
Hands-on substitute pet parents
We have both grown up with and taken care of pets for most of our lives, and are excited to spend time with your pets (furred, feathered, scaled, or otherwise)! As hands-on cat parents ourselves, we treat your pets how we treat ours, which includes: - Lots of cuddles (or vibe cuddles if they're not particularly into being pet - our baby, Chompirras, prefers to just be looked at most of the time lol) - Plenty of activities curated specifically for your pet to keep them entertained (ours love cardboard puzzle boxes, yo-yos, and being given tours of different parts of the house) - Lots of pictures (they just look cute literally all the time - what are we supposed to do, not take a picture?) - Careful preparation of meals. Our cats deserve to have their own personal chefs - Administration of medication, if needed. (We have to give ours oral medications on a regular basis, and have successfully given meds to pill-dodgers in the past) - Monitoring for any suspicious behavior/ailments. We know how good some pets can be very skilled at hiding when they're not feeling well, so we keep an eye out for indicators that they may not be feeling their best - Catering to their little quirks. Does your pet only eat when someone pets them? Sleeps best with a bedtime story? We're not strangers to the many kind of personalities and emotional needs our smaller friends can have. A little bit about both of us: Sarah (she/her) is from Austin, TX and has been professionally pet-sitting since 2016 for many repeat clients. She has cared for the family dogs and her cat, Chompirras, for 13 years. Eko (they/them) is from a small farm in Rutherfordton, NC and has professionally pet-sat with Sarah since 2022. They cared for chickens (egg-chickens, each with a name), lizards (gecko and iguana), cats, and dogs their entire childhood, and two cats, Yue and Zuko, since 2020. As a team, we make sure that all your pet's needs are covered, day-in and day-out. We approach each pet that we have cared for with empathy, friendliness, and meticulousness. While we can never replace a pet parent while you're away on vacation or a work trip, we do our best to make your pet(s) feel as comfortable and secure as possible until you're back home with them.

Safety, trust & environment
When we care for your pet in your home, we keep life as normal as possible for them, i.e., sticking to their normal feeding, exercise, play, and sleep schedules. We also give them their space (if they're more introverts) or interact with them lots (if they can't get enough attention).
Ratings and reviews
They’re the best! Our flight was canceled due to the nor’easter, and they were able to book a last-minute drop in to continue care for our pets. The house was spotless when we came back!
They were both amazing! It was very clear that they truly cared for our cats, and I loved the updates and photos I got! Would definitely rebook and recommend.
The sweetest and most caring! We’re so grateful for Eko and Sarah.
Eko and Sarah are superb. I cannot sing enough praises. They took such good care of my bundle of joy, and they went the extra mile in all areas. I hope to use them as much as I need and can't recommend them enough. Please, however, leave room for me again.
Eko & Sarah were amazing at watching my cats and giving oral medications. I had to book on short notice and they were great to work with in planning their visits and understanding our pets’ routines. I would book them again!
Eko and Sarah provided excellent care for our kitties while we were away. They updated us every day with pictures and how things were going. It's nice to have that peace of mind knowing our kitties are in good hands. They looked like they had a good time. We will definitely be looking to book with them again in the future!

Schedule
UPDATE AS OF JUNE 25, 2025 (still current for January 2026): Hi there! We are booked for mid-day drop-ins during weekdays until further notice. We are still available for morning and evening drop-ins, as well as home stays. Thank you for considering us :) Both of us work from home 9-5 Mon-Fri, but have very flexible work schedules when needed (i.e., we're able to take longer lunch breaks, can start earlier or later, etc.). Caring for your pet is our priority.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsEko & Sarah can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- Please let us know if your furbaby has any special needs ahead of time (we like to be as prepared as possible before subbing in for a pet parent, which for us includes research about a particular health condition if we're not familiar with it). Tell us about your pet's personality and what kind of activities they like best so we can create an enrichment plan just for them. If there's anything else that you think would be helpful for us know and make your furbaby's experience with us as positive as possible, we'd love to hear this, too.
