“Jana continues to be the best - so thankful I found her for my pets!”
“Yana was fantastic and a great help. She took notes on how to best care for our fur babies and made sure they were happy and healthy. Her care gave us such peace of mind!”
“Haowen and Yi were amazing and are definitely the best sitters that have ever watched my cat! They are very detail-oriented and communicative and clearly have a deep love for animals. I loved the extensive photos they took every visit so that I could monitor how much food my cat was eating and that all care tasks had been completed exactly as I’d suggested.”
“Julia was fantastic! She is very detailed and caring. I can tell Cosmo enjoyed spending time with her. Julia even took the time to bring in my mail, clean Cosmo’s food dishes and take some great photos of him!”
“LIsa was very amiable and did everything that was requested of her; she also sent over pics of my cat to show that he was doing okay. Would absolutely recommend Lisa for any other pet-sitting jobs.”
“Xiaoting was great and easy to work with!”
“Kathleen did a great job of caring for our elderly cat while we were on vacation and even learned how to administer the subcutaneous fluids he needs for his kidney disease. Most of all, she made sure to give him lots of love and attention.”
About: I've always loved dogs and now I have a family that loves dogs! I care for friends' dogs and we have a 3-year-old Australian Labradoodle (before that, I had a dog for 17 years). I have a good yard and am close to parks. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can take several walks a day and live in a great neighborhood for walking dogs. I treat dogs like they are part of my family. They are welcome on our couches and are free to roam in my back yard. At night they will sleep in a bedroom and they'll never be alone.
“Carole did a phenomenal job! She followed my copious instructions, had clear communication, and was just an utter pleasure. I highly recommend and would 100% use again in the future!”
“Sue was a wonderful sitter to Tangerine and Belle. Tangerine needed special care - she was in her final days and had complex medical needs. Not only did Sue give Tanner the treatments she needed while we were away, she have tons of love and care to both cats. I would have her back any time.”
“Alana provided excellent care for our rather shy cat Samoa. I really appreciated her communication, reliability, and loving commitment to getting Sami to play and hang out (she hides a lot). I’m very grateful for the dependable care she provided and will certainly be checking with her when we need cat care in future.”
“Chuck was great with his drop in visits for our cat, Penny. He was communicative and we felt kept in the loop during our trip. Penny was good at hiding, but Chuck had great tricks to check her status.”
“Leah did such a great job taking care of our 2 cats! Both of them were super comfortable with her the moment they met her, and they tend to be shy around new people. They both required medicine and she did a great job administering it. She also took the time to play with them and pet them when she stopped by. I would highly recommend and we’ll definitely have her watch them again in the future!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of baby Leo. I missed him so much while I was away but knew he was in good hands. Leo hopes you’ll take care of him again next time I’m away. ❤️?⬛?”
“Sarah was great. Respectful, great with cats, and very communicative.”
“Anna was the first person to check on our cats that wasn’t a family member or friend, and she surpassed all of our expectations! Each day during our weeklong trip, we looked forward to the detailed notes and various pictures of our boys whom we missed so much! Anna was reliable and responsive, and she cared for our cats as if they were her own ♥️”
“Marissa took great care of our cat, including administering her medication. She was here when she said she would be and our cat seemed happy and taken care of when we got home.”
“I had Mackenzie take care of my cat over the holidays, and am so grateful to have found her! She was very attentive to him and was sure to update me while I was away. She took the time to play and snuggle with him to, so I felt good that he was getting the attention he needed while I was out of town. Mackenzie is a warm and caring person who loves all the animals in her life!”
“Kathryn is kind, responsible, and an excellent communicator who really knows cats. Thanks to Kathryn, my cats seem so chill and happy when I get home from vacations!”
“Claudia has checked in on our cat many times since over the past year or so and our cat loves her! She is easy to communicate with and gives detailed updates on kitty during her check-ins. Thank you Claudia! :)”

Kathryn was awesome! So professional and so trustworthy I would hire her again. She was so good with my animals and went above and beyond!!
Maegan provided excellent, thorough, thoughtful care to our two kitties. She gave detailed updates of every visit and made us feel like we were right there with our fur babies even from afar. Photos proved our cats were very trusting and comfortable with Maegan, a testament to Maegan's attention to detail when it comes to cat communication.
Julia is reliable and great with our cat! She follows our instructions clearly and takes great photos of our little kitty.
Taylor was incredibly kind and thoughtful when it came to our two cats, one of which is a little grumpy. She checked in multiple times just to give updates on visits and of course sent great photos and descriptions of the visits. She made sure the grumpy cat felt comfortable without pushing boundaries which is so important to us.
LIsa was very amiable and did everything that was requested of her; she also sent over pics of my cat to show that he was doing okay. Would absolutely recommend Lisa for any other pet-sitting jobs.
Kathleen was excellent! She gave great updates and everything with her visit went seamlessly. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kathleen the next time I need someone to watch our dear cat Boo!
Royce was amazing watching after our cat, Betsy! She left great updates on her visits as well as amazing photos!
This is the second time I've booked with Leah. She's friendly and reliable as usual, my cat Bobo really seemed to like her and enjoyed her visits❤️🫶
Christina did a wonderful job of checking on our cat Eva and provided up to date pics and visit details. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the area!
Responsive, helpful and thorough with requests. Photos were helpful. Thanks for checking on Skittles!
Victoria did a wonderful job of caring for my two cats today. In addition to freshening the litterboxes she went above and beyond by tidying the entire room where the litterboxes are. No more layer of litter dust on the side table! She also shared many photos of the pets. I look forward to having Victoria back next month!
It was our first time with Sandra and we are very happy to have found her. She watched our cat for a weekend and followed all instructions while I was away.
Kelsey was incredibly helpful for me when I needed a long term cat sitter at short notice. She was flexible, reliable and wonderful to my cat. I would recommend her and will be reaching out with any future needs!
Madelaine did 2x drop in visits per day for my cat recently and she is an excellent sitter! She was on time every visit and took great care of my cat. Madelaine was very easy to communicate with and provided great updates/pictures while I was away. I’d recommended her services to anyone and will definitely be using her again!
Megan is a cat whisperer! She was amazing with my cat and so accommodating with both her medication and playtime needs. Megan’s photos and updates gave me so much peace of mind while I was away from my precious bean, and I could not recommend Megan more !!
Yick-hong was great with my cats! They were reliable and attentive and would absolutely recommend. I received daily updates and plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease while I was away. I will likely be working with Yick-hong again in the future!
Victoria was so amazing in caring for my cat. My cat is incredibly shy and I was shocked to receive pictures of my cat loving the attention from her when I only expected her to feed her. She even helped find a brush that my cat would tolerate. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner.
Cressida was terrific and I highly recommend her! My three cats loved her and well cared for by her over the course of five days while we were away. She was responsive, communicative, shared photos of the kitties every day, and follow all of the instructions that I had shared with her during an in person introduction ahead of our vacation. We will definitely hire her again for help when we are out of town!
