Hannah was fantastic. Very communicative and sent lots of photos. My cat seemed to warm up to here quickly which isn’t always the case! Will definitely use Hannah again.

Brianna was a godsend. Super responsive when I needed a cat sitter at the last minute. She took great care of my shy boy who warmed up to her instantly. Really appreciated the thorough daily notes and multiple photos. Will be using her again.

Petros did everything I asked him to do for my cats. Amazing job 🙌🏽 He also did meet and greet beforehand to make sure that all goes well when I leave which is commendable. I will surely rebook him again.

Second time booking with Lauren, and she is seriously the best with my little fur baby! I feel so relieved knowing she’s taking such great care of him. She really puts in 110% in her visits to make sure my kitty is super happy even while we’re away. I really really really appreciate Lauren!!!

About: I have taken care of pets since a young age. I have done pet sitting, walking, and boarding in my own home. Experienced handling many different kinds pets from dogs, cats, exotic pets, etc. of various breeds and ages. I have also worked in a pet store and received animal behavior training. I am available anytime Thursday through Sunday. Also available Wednesday in the afternoon and evening. Willing to discuss times on Monday and Tuesday if those days work best for you. I make sure I’m walking the dog on sidewalks in safe areas. If the dog shows any signs of distress I will walk back. Will bring water for them and dry off their feet before they re-enter the house if it’s raining.

Carter took care of our cat, Lola, for a week while we were away and did a wonderful job. He communicated consistently, gave her supplements without issue, and made sure she got plenty of TLC. He even helped with a few extra things around the apartment, which we really appreciated. It was clear he’s a cat person. We would happily book him again.

Kristen was spectacular. Super communicative and easy to reach, great updates, adorable pictures, and always punctual (and if running early/late always let me know). And most importantly I came back to happy and well cared for kitties. Would 100% book Kristen again and absolutely would recommend her to anyone else.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life. Back home in Ohio, I’ve had 7 cats, 2 dogs, a horse, a chinchilla, and a bearded dragon. I’ve dog sat for rescues and I’m also good with dogs that have walking/pulling troubles. Happy to feed some fish too if needed! I’ve just graduated and my schedule differs by the day, so I’m looking at getting back in to pet care! It’s been awhile because I’ve been finishing up my degree, but I’ve already done some pet sitting while in school, so I know that I am able to work with my time well and can manage any job/needs with clear communication now that I’m out of school. Long story short - I’ll make time for you and your pets! I’m sensitive to each pet’s individual needs. Each dog is different and unique, and I prioritize getting to know their personality. I also have experience calming pet anxiety and managing unpredictable rescues.

He was an excellent sitter! My cat needs medicine twice a day, and he was able to help her easily. From the pictures I could tell that she was happy and comfortable around him, and having him around made her so much calmer when I returned. He was communicative and kind, and I'd definitely book again!

Anastasiia was amazing and we will definitely be booking with her again! She took great care of our cats and made sure that they were as comfortable as possible while we were gone. Our cats are usually quite skittish around new people but came out to say hi on her first visit, so if they could talk I’m sure they’d give her 5 stars as well.
