“This was my first time leaving my cat for this long and I was incredibly nervous but after Tereza’s first visit I was instantly relieved and stopped stressing about my cat for the rest of the trip. My cat, who’s typically shy, warmed up to her immediately. I received lots of great pics of him and it was clear he was being well looked after!! Will definitely book again in the future”
“I would give Laura 10 stars if I could. She made our vacation stress free. Even when I needed to add an impromptu second visit mid week, it was no problem. We have two English Setters and one is a little anxious with people she doesn’t know and they both loved Laura. We also loved the daily pictures and updates she sent. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be contacting her again. Thank you so much Laura!”
“This is the second time we have relied on Michaela to take care of our two cats. They have really warmed up to her in such a short time. This allows us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they are in such good hands.”
“Karen was so wonderful with our beloved kitties! I can tell from the photos that they really loved her. It is such a good feeling when you’re so far away to know that your pets are being cared for by a kind, responsible, and engaged animal lover. We feel very fortunate to have met Karen and look forward to a continued relationship with her! ?”
“Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.”
“Samantha was so flexible and responsive, and took great care of our older cat! The cat even came out to see her, which almost never happens with strangers. She must be a natural! We’d be happy to have her take care of our animals any time.”
“Jenny is the absolute best! She took incredible care of our two cats while we were out of town, sent lots of great updates and pictures throughout, and I'm pretty sure they might just even like her better than us now :) (I've never seen them look so at home and comfortable with a sitter as they always looked with Jenny!) She is professional, organized, attentive, and so friendly and easy to work with. Normally I think and worry a lot about my boys while I am gone and they are with a sitter, but Jenny put me at such ease that I ALMOST forgot about them while on vacation...and there's no better testament to Jenny's greatness than that.”
“Jessica was great from the beginning. She contacted me immediately after I reached out. Very responsive and communicated well throughout the process. My cats were in great hands! I highly recommend Jessica for any house sitting needs.”
“Janine is a super star when it comes to taking care and watching our sweet cat, Murphy. We get lots of updates and pics/videos while we're away, which allows us to relax, knowing she is in such great hands. We always come home to a happy kitty and our house always looks great. Thank you Janine!”
“Alyssa is an amazing cat sitter, so sweet and kind to my cat Chai who is very shy. The pic’s she sent and the updates were brilliant. So happy having Alyssa for my kitty Chai.”
About: Growing up in a dog loving household, I've been an animal lover my whole life and my 2 kids (9yrs and 6yrs) have inherited the same love for animals. We don't have any dogs of our own, so we have a lot of love and attention to give your fur baby! Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to provide plenty of availability for potty breaks, walks and playtime with your pup. Located in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking opportunities. When your dog comes to stay with us, they immediately become a part of the family! Our home is dog-friendly so they are given free reign of the house if that is what they are used to. If your dog requires more boundaries to keep them safe, they can be set up in a sectioned area in the main part of the house to ensure that they are safe but still get plenty of attention.
About: I have always had pets growing up. I currently have three cats and four dogs. I also have experience watching cats and dogs. I would love to watch your pets too! I currently work three nights a week. I work at a restaurant from 5:00-10:00. I work Mondays, Thursday’s, and Friday’s. I am available most days of the week. I can walk and watch your cats or dogs whenever I am needed. I have done lots of dog walking in the past and am comfortable with any kind of dog.
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters many times as well as pet sitting for many years. I have grown up around them and have seen others warm up to me very quickly. I do work full time so my availability will be either weekends, early mornings or late nights. If I have advance notice I can move around my work schedule to accommodate middle of day shifts Will always keep an eye on them at all times. Or make sure that they are safe in an area that they can’t escape and become lost.
“Heather does a great job - very conscientious and caring. She's in contact when she has questions, and she's very responsive when we need to reach her. Definitely our go-to sitter!”
