She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Lindsay was exactly what I needed for my last minute travel! I had never used a service like this before and just moved to a new area so I wasn't sure how it would go. Lindsay met me and the fur babies before the trip and got a lay of the house and I was instantly comfortable with her! She was on time for every visit, she loved my pups as her own and she kept me in the loop at each visit! I never felt that I needed to worry about my babies while away and it allowed me to thoroughly relax! Thank you so much!”
“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”
“Kylee is amazing!! Works around whatever scheduling is necessary, very accommodating and sent daily update pictures! Loved being able to honeymoon while knowing my little kitty was being well taken care of. Tom and I thank you Kylee!”
“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine passion for their care. Growing up, I was surrounded by both cats and dogs, which taught me the importance of understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to dog-sit for family and friends, caring for pets of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. This hands-on experience has given me valuable skills, such as managing energetic puppies, providing extra attention to senior pets, and ensuring all pets feel loved and secure. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I’m committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. I recently graduated from college and am currently awaiting my diploma to begin my career. In the meantime, I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for pets daily, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to their specific needs. I ensure they have a designated space for rest, provide access to fresh water, and follow their feeding schedules precisely. I also supervise playtime to keep them active and engaged while ensuring their safety.
“Excellent!!! Mikayla did such an amazing job caring for our big boy Luke. She was on time and extremely professional. She sent us a detailed Rover card and great pictures. We’ll book her again next week and beyond!”

“Would book Natalie again. She was professional and Moses Kitty was well taken care of. Natalie went out of her way to do extra little things like tidying up; great about communicating and sending pics. This was Moses first time being alone for an extended period but Natalie made sure that he was well taken care of.”
“Kathryn did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She sent daily pictures and updates and we highly recommend her.”
“Thank you so much for watching Cricket! It was wonderful to receive all the photos and updates each day and I know she was happy to have someone to hang out with 😊”

“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

“Madison is a fantastic sitter! These are the things that stood out to me: - Madison was very punctual. We asked her for daily visits for our young cat Chidi and she was there at the same time every day. - The photos that Madison posted were amazing and I will cherish them forever. She also sent videos. - The Rover cards were detailed and I looked forward to them every day - I can tell Chidi loved her! We adopted him during the pandemic so he only knows us and a couple other people and I was worried he wouldn’t want to interact but he looked to be happy in the photos and videos. Will definitely book Madison again if she’s available.”

“Janet is amazing. She has taken care of two of my (very mean) Maine Coon cats for over ten years. She is caring, compassionate, and has the patience of a saint! She was always respectful of my time, home, and of course... both of my boys! She leaves detailed logs of all time spent with them as well as "check in visits" with them if it's been a while since she's seen them. HIGHLY recommended!”
20. Madison E.
“Madison was awesome! And our pup Archie seemed to love her! Good communication and reliability!”
