“Julia was super communicative and thoughtful when looking after Hobbes! She was able to administer his daily pill orally as well as give him some good pets and love. She always left super detailed feedback. Would definitely recommend and rebook!”
“I have nothing but praise for Shannon. She was eager to help with care of our house as well as care of Junia. She sent each “report card” so punctually after every drop-in visit that we never had to worry about anything. I hope she will be available the next time we have to go away.”
“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!”
“Anna took great care of our Ombre cat while we were away. She was very responsible & trustworthy. She followed all our directions, spent time doing things our cat loves (like going outside), checked her litter box and provided updates/pictures. We are so grateful and would definitely book her again!”
“Carol was a wonderful sitter for our cat. She was responsive and professional, and provided all of the care and attention our pet needed while we were away. We were grateful and able to relax while we were away knowing our pet was in such great care with Carol.”
About: I've helped care for my previous roommate's 60 lb dog for 6 years while living together. This included letting him outside, taking him on walks, feeding him, and giving him medication when needed. I've also watched and cared for several other friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I'm currently working part-time and will have most of the summer off, so my schedule is relatively flexible at the moment. Happy to chat more about it! I will respect and oblige by any rules or boundaries set forth for your pets and within your home. Happy to accommodate and meet you where you're at!
“Perfect just as expected! Flawless work, and Koshka and us are very grateful for Kathleen’s punctuality, responsibility, care and going an extra mile with no questions asked. Very much appreciated.”
“Maegan was punctual, thorough, and so sweet with my cat! I am always nervous to leave him alone, and my fears were put at ease by Maegan's thorough visit summaries and lots of pictures!”
“I engaged Chuck's services for the first time. I am happy with Chuck's work. Our cat has recently been adopted and is incredibly shy. However, thanks to Chuck's diligent care, she did well during our absence.”
“Kathryn was very helpful, despite my own poor planning. She went above and beyond with the care of my cat, and made sure that he was happy and well taken care of. She followed his care instructions very carefully, and kept in contact during every visit. I will absolutely be booking with Kathryn again! Thank you!”
“Another great experience with Mackenzie taking care of my cat, Slushy, while I was away! She’s so thoughtful in updating me with how he’s doing and making sure he gets the chance to play if he’d like.”
About: I am an active individual who loves caring for animals and spending time with them! I have had two dogs in my life and have always been attentive to their needs. I just graduated from undergrad and will be starting my masters in counseling this fall while working part time, too. I manage my time well! I care for pets in clients home by being respectful of the fact that this is not my house. I am being trusted to care for a pet in someone else’s home and I take that very seriously.
“Ani was in great communication before the booking and made sure she had all the info to take care of my cat. My cat can be pretty skittish and came right out to be pet, and she’s the most important judge! I’ll definitely use Ani next time I go away!”
“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 ♥️”

“Alejandro was a great sitter for my cat. He made sure that my cat got plenty of attention and play time, and kept the space very clean.
