This was the second time that Swagata took care of Jojo. She's truly amazing with Cats!! She came for drop-in visit, she followed all the instructions and also spent some playtime with Jojo... I was so glad that she did... I will 100% recommend her if you're looking for a caring pet sitter...

Tiffany is the best. We had a trip planned for months and a few weeks before one of our kitties was diagnosed with glaucoma, requiring drops three times a day. Tiffany was able to get the drops in his eye for us while we were gone and when we got home there were very happy animals waiting to greet us. Kept their messes cleaned and left the sweetest note. Appreciate her so much she is just the best.

Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.

This was the first time I was leaving my cat for an extended period of time and AK kept him well cared for. She also sent me lots of pictures so that I didn’t miss him too much which was very much appreciated. I’d definitely book her again!

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.

About: I am a grad student looking to give some love to my local pets. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. In college I was my neighbors’ go to pet sitter/walker and hoping to continue while in grad school. Feel free to message me with any questions! I am currently in my second year in med school and I will be occupied weekdays depending on lecture times and exams but I can work with you to help out in any way I can. I have a furry son myself and he is a loving 5 year old red lab so the same love and care that I would want my pet to receive is what I will give to yours. I will respect your rules with your pets (schedules, no furniture, etc.) and promise to give them all the love and attention they deserve.

Lindsey is an excellent cat sitter. She’s super dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals—my cat Mochi warmed up to her right away. I got regular updates from Lindsey, and everything was done perfectly according to my instructions. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who treats my pet like their own. I’d recommend Lindsey to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.

About: I have 2 years of professional dog/cat handling. I currently work at an animal hospital as a kennel attendant! I have had dogs of my own growing up, and now I own 6 cats. I just love caring for animals. I am free Monday-Friday so I will be available to give all my attention to your fur baby! They will have plenty of cuddles and play time! My mom and I will both be very much involved with your fur baby! I do not have a fenced yard BUT I will gladly take your doggy on multiple walks! I do have 6 cats but they have their own room/space so they will not interfere with any animals I’m boarding :)

Brittany has been excellent as usual. She checked my cats teeth and the health of her legs. I had no idea she had arthritis in that area. If you want a nurse and fun companion for your let, Brittany is the one!

Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

About: What sets me apart is my background as a Physician Assistant student, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others with real responsibility. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication administration, and pets who need a little extra patience or monitoring. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and safety—whether that’s following feeding instructions to the letter, noticing when something feels “off,” or making sure your pet is comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have experience with gentle puppy care, reinforcing routines, and providing consistent structure without harsh training methods. Bottom line: I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them thoughtfully and intentionally, the same way I’m trained to care for patients. Your pet’s well-being always comes first. Weekly Routine: I’m most available Friday through Sunday, which allows for longer visits, flexible scheduling, and unrushed care. I plan my days in advance so walks, feedings, and check-ins happen consistently. Daily Care: I build pet care into my routine, not around it—no last-minute rushing. I follow established schedules closely and ensure each visit receives my full attention. Communication: I’m responsive and proactive with updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how things are going. In short: structured care, flexible weekends, and pets that stay on their routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I closely follow routines, secure doors and leashes, and respect the space. I’m attentive, careful, and proactive with communication.

Tiffany was amazing! She is an excellent communicator and very patient with elderly animals. I was so nervous about leaving my 16 year old cat, with stage 2 kidney disease, home alone with all the meds he takes and his ability to be stubborn about taking them. Tiffany worked so well with him and I felt at ease and able to relax and enjoy my time away. My two 2-year old girls also loved her. I HIGHLY recommend Tiffany and will use her for all my future pet sitting needs!
