Averi was great with my fur-babies. I have two senior goldens and a cat who is very cautious. I am always nervous about leaving them with a new person, but she was wonderful. She communicated well before and throughout the stay. I came back from a week, with happy healthy animals, and a tidy home. I would definitely recommend her.

We felt at ease when Emily stayed with our 10 month old great dane pup and 7 year old Border Aussie. I got pictures everyday we were gone and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Bonus points for the house being clean when we got home! We are hopeful to have Emily care for our pets and home again!

Cat truly has a passion for animals and you can tell through how she speaks about your pet and the love she gives them. She was very professional, reliable and made herself available to look after my pup on short notice. I received daily updates and I had no doubt my sweet girl was in the best hands while away. I highly recommend booking Cat as your sitter, she provides quality care and goes above and beyond for your fur baby, she even left me a cute handwritten note with printed photos of my girl during her stay ❤️🥹

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.

About: I may not have a lot of pet experience but when I love something, I do it 110% I work full time in mental health /substance use and as you can imagine, my day to day is extremely stressful and I talk to rude people with a smile on my face. But around animals, it’s a real smile. They love us so unconditionally and do so much for us, how can you not give your pet the world and them some after that? All I want to do is make sure every animal feels love, safe and happy. I work 4, 10 hour days a week and 3 days off. I can easily squeeze in multiple drop ins, walks, and house sitting on my days off which are Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. Even a small overnight could be possible. I also work from home often. Sundays are my guaranteed work from home day so I can find drop in or walk times. As well as house sitting on Sundays! Saturdays, I’m off earlier, clock out by 6:30, so I can definitely squeeze in a night drop in or 2. Monday’s and Tuesdays are my “in office all day” days so I wouldn’t be able to do anything those 2 days, but every other day, I can work something out no problem! I try my best to not break their routine. I have a pretty good understanding of animal body language and I can tell when they are stressed or overwhelmed. Me being a stranger to them, can already have them slightly stressed. So the best thing I can do for them is to continue doing what they already know.
