“My senior cat had a great weekend thanks to Deliris, and we came back to a happy and relaxed kitty. We will definitely be asking for Deliris’ help in the future. :)”
“Lilian was great. Adequately executed her role with my babies. I cannot believe Leo came out from hiding lol Highly recommended. Thanks so much Lilian. Will use again 🙏🏼”
“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”
“Toni was great! My cat, who tends to be shy with new people, loved her. She was punctual, communicated well, and sent lots of pictures and updates while she was watching her.”
“Karollyne took great care of my cat Jellybean while I was away! Communication was quick and helpful and I will definitely consider booking her again in the future. Thank you!”
“Kriti had taken great care of our cat Maomi last two days. Even this was the first time our cat met her and our cat was willing to be close to her and enjoy her care. Thanks.”
“Jade is AMAZING! Me and my Diggy are so happy we found such a kind and funny soul. She was very communicative while I was away but most importantly loving and caring towards my baby. He’s been sick the last few months so she helped give his medicine which is not easy. She sent me countless pictures and funny videos that gave me relief while I was on holiday 💚”
“Kayla was incredible with my 6-month-old kitten. She stayed on top of all of Yohji's daily needs and managed to get in tons of playtime with my energetic kitten. Kayla was also very communicative and handled Yohji unexpectedly going into heat like a pro! Thank you for taking such good care of her while I was away!”
“I highly recommend working with Jeanette. She took excellent care of my shy, senior rescue cat while I was away for Thanksgiving. She’s super responsive, thorough, and incredibly responsible. I hope to work with her again in the future :)”
About: Experienced with caring for pups and cats for about 10 years now. I am flexible with scheduling during the day and can help with training simple tasks. Local student with a lot of free time this summer. Mainly daytime walks and drop in visits but can also help at night if needed. I have a large friendly dog who I take for walks and frequent runs. I enjoy being in the outdoors and can help with training simple tasks.
“Marlita has checked in on our cat twice. She is very knowledgeable of cats and extremely thorough and reliable. Each time, we have felt at ease with our cat in her care. Overall, we have had great experiences with using Marlita’s services. She does a fantastic job! We would recommend Marlita to anyone looking for a cat sitter in this area.”
About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, and I truly love spending time with them. I currently have three cats of my own. Two of them I’ve raised since they were kittens, so I’m very familiar with kitten care, daily routines, feeding schedules, and helping young cats feel safe and comfortable as they grow. My third cat was a former stray that I adopted, which gave me valuable experience working with shy or cautious cats and helping them build trust in a new environment. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s personality and needs. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing companionship. I enjoy interactive play and quiet bonding time, and I always prioritize a calm, stress-free environment. I treat every cat as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-in cat care. I’m available for scheduled visits to feed cats, clean litter boxes, play with them, and check on their overall condition. I can also provide regular photo and video updates to keep owners informed and reassured. I respect that cats feel most comfortable in their own environment. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and cats are relaxed and healthy. I pay close attention to mood, energy level, and any changes in behavior, and I provide photo and video updates after every visit for peace of mind.
“Business as usual. Steve does a great job, is always there for solid feedback on how our furry friends are doing, and is so dependable. Great stuff. Great asset to have as a sitter.”
“I have been meaning to leave Molly a review for a long time! I’ll summarize why she’s an incredible cat sitter below. 1) You can tell she really cares about our cats. 2) She always sends fun updates. 3) She put a lot of effort into winning over our super shy cat who has NEVER come out for a cat sitter. Now he rolls over for belly rubs when she comes over! (How do I know? See point 2) This last time really takes the cake though and is what compelled me to write a review. I made an error on the booking and missed a whole day in the middle of our vacation. Molly reached out ahead of time and asked about the missing date, which I appreciated SO MUCH because I would have been worried sick about the boys being left alone or without food for a full day. I’m so glad she reached out and the peace of mind I get for knowing my cats are in good hands is worth everything. If she’s looking for the extra business, you should absolutely book her for your pet sitting services.”
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
“Nima was honestly amazing. She took very good care of my fur baby and truly made her feel home. My cat has very bad anxiety yet she acclimated so well with Nima. We are very grateful for the care she got.”
About: I cared for my Bichon Frise, for 13 wonderful years. During that time, I also enjoyed walking my neighbors’ dogs alongside him, which gave me experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Through all the walks, park visits, playtimes, and daily routines, I gained a deep understanding of what it takes to keep a pet happy, healthy, and loved. My best friend passed away in 2024, but I still find a little bit of him in every dog I take care of. I’m reliable, patient, and truly passionate about animals. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As of now I am very flexible with my schedule at the moment I am taking the time and going to enjoy traveling the world as much as I can and making a little extra money and getting to meet new pets would be a bonus for me ! I have done a couple drop in visits for friends & family pets and I always make sure to follow their instructions and never hesitate to ask when I don’t know something so everything goes smoothly as best as possible. I love animals I would always make sure they are cared for and kept safe at all times !

Lilian was amazing! She was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating and my boys absolutely loved her! She made sure to check every detail every day (water fountain levels, whether litter box was clean, what foods they liked more, etc) and was very communicative. She also sent the cutest pics of my cats, which became one of my phone backgrounds 😂 Will definitely book her again!!
Bre and Myah were an absolute treasure. Super communicative, extremely friendly, and so so good with our girls! One of our babies was recently hospitalized and we needed Bre and Myah to help out with SubQs while we were away. They were amazing and gave me constant updates about the process. Highly highly highly recommend!!
Molly was amazing! She is very flexible and reliable! My Diesel had a seizure the night before my trip and when I communicated that to her, she assured me he will be well taken care of. She also made any accommodation needed to provide Diesel with the best care.
Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)
Jane did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats. She was reliable, showing up twice daily as scheduled, and clearly took great care of them. She played with the cats during her visits and kept their litter consistently clean. We appreciated that she went beyond the basics, keeping our kitchen spotless where the cats are fed. The photos from each visit showed our cats looking comfortable and content. It was so nice to come home tired and jet-lagged to happy, well-cared-for cats without having to tackle any cat-related housework.
Had a fantastic first experience with Hsin Yun and Phil. They were extremely communicative and took fantastic care of our many cats! I felt like my cats had extra special care taken towards them and will definitely look forward to booking them again in the future.
