“Briana was wonderful and attentive to our cat over a long time being away. She went above and beyond and was incredibly professional. I would recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their pets.”

“Kim did an excellent job watching creme. She also brought in packages and helped water the garden. Really appreciate that you go above and beyond! Awesome work!”

“Chelsea was so great to work with! She dropped in on my kitten twice a day and followed all my overly-detailed instructions I gave her 🤣🤣 Will definitely book again!!”

“Jessica was on time every day, was very good about leaving detailed Rover Reports with pictures, and was very tidy. I recommend her and am glad to know about her for future sitting. Thanks, Jessica!”

“Paulina is a great cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to meet us and our cat before we hired her. She is reliable and gave our cat plenty of attention while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Paulina!”

“Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have helped care for pets for friends and family over the years. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Whether it’s sticking to routines, playtime, feeding, or just giving extra attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure I’m available for regular walks, feeding times, and quality time so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m home frequently and plan my day to make sure pets get the attention and routine they’re used to. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, exercised, and given lots of affection and attention. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety. I treat both the pet and the home with respect, and I like to send regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.
“Xuni was fantastic with my cat Ela while I was away for a week. She would send me pictures and videos from every visit, as well as leave useful feedback on how Ela was doing.”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was young, and caring for them has always been something I truly love. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I understand how important routines and trust are, and I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and attention to their individual needs. I work late mornings and afternoons, which allows me to provide structured morning walks and attentive evening care. Dogs staying with me will receive exercise before and after my work schedule, along with consistent feeding routines and quality time. Weekends are more flexible for extra walks, playtime and bonding. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with access to a secure on-site dog park and safe walking areas nearby. I only host one pet at a time to ensure personalized care and a calm environment. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain feeding schedules, and provide regular photo updates. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free stay where your dog feels comfortable and loved.
“This was the first time I contracted with Jennifer to watch my two male cats while I was out of town. Jennifer quickly observed their routine which included crushing a pill in one of the cat's food and making sure he finished all the medicine. She was wonderful and gave my cats many head pats during her visits. I appreciated the many pictures she sent during her time with them. Jennifer is very conscientious in her responsibilities as a pet sitter. i would use her again.”
“Michelle is amazing with our three senior dogs. One is deaf, one is stubborn, and one is very excitable, so it’s definitely not an easy group to manage. She handled them all with patience and care, and after her first visit we felt completely comfortable.”

“Maya was a lifesaver for me! My cat was recently diagnosed with a condition requiring daily injections, but I felt very nervous to give them myself. Maya came out for the first few days to show me the ropes and she did a wonderful job of teaching me and making me feel confident about doing it myself. She was friendly, patient with my cat and great at keeping me updated when she would be arriving. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have had cats and have taken care of them since I was eight years old, and have spent time with dogs, but don't have any of my own. But I am looking forward to meeting yours. I work part time, usually at night and usually on weekends, I am pretty flexible on weekdays and can take care of your pet in the mornings or afternoons. I feed and clean up after my cat at home. If I am walking a dog then I am comfortable running or going at any pace.
“Sarah was the best cat sitter! She took such good care of our two cats while we were away. She sent a thorough update after every visit including pics of our cats. You can tell how much she loves animals! We definitely plan on using her again.”

“Nicole took fantastic care of my little kitten! Hamilton is a young rescue, and had only been in his new home for a few weeks, so I was nervous leaving him for the weekend, but Nicole kept him safe, happy, and loved. She sent tons of pictures and great updates every day, and always knowing how he was doing was extremely comforting. I came home to a very happy little guy! Her love of animals is very clear and Hammy took to her right away. I appreciated her compassion, promptness, and professionalism and I would highly recommend using Nicole as your next pet sitter! She will certainly be my first choice when I need someone to care for Hammy in the future.”
“Holly was great at watching over our two cats, we recently adopted a kitten who is shy but opened up to Holly so well! She was responsive, nice, and kept our kitties company while we were away!”

About: I am home full time, have 2 girls 7 and 12 who love dogs as well, I grew up with golden retrievers my whole life, I used to take care of my neighbors dog bc she would work until 11pm at night so her dog would come to my house and we would brush her and feed her, make her feel not so lonely. I am recovering from cancer so I am looking after dogs would just increase my mood so much as well as get me out and walking. Your dog would never be lonely in my house! We are definitely dog lovers!! My children are not timid or afraid of dogs, we live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walking, running and playing!

Great experience with Xuni! She was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire trip. I especially loved the twice-daily check-ins; the 'proof of life' photos and videos she sent were fantastic and really put my mind at ease while I was away. Beyond just the basics, she went the extra mile by bringing in packages and keeping the litter area spotless. Most importantly, I came home to very calm and content cats—it was clear Maizey and Clementine were well-cared for and not stressed at all. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Highly recommended!

Jessica went above and beyond for us. While we were traveling she visited our senior cat multiple times a day during snowfall and even shoveled the snow. Nothing but ease and peace of mind while our cat was in her care. We look forward to working with her again! Thank you!

Kevin took great care of my cats and made me feel a lot better about leaving them alone for the first time. I was unusually anxious, but he came over to meet me and them and learn their routine, and made me feel comfortable right away. He was very patient with Biscuit, who's shy, and I could tell Mango felt comfortable around him. Will definitely book with him again the next time I need a cat sitter.

Jenny was dependable, communicative, and incredibly attentive to our dog. She truly went above and beyond, even staying with our pup and adjusting her schedule when needed. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Maya for a meet-and-greet, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. My dog took to them right away (and she’s a very anxious goldendoodle), which speaks volumes about their approach and care. I’m confident that my pup will be in great hands during their walks. She even sent me pictures & updated me on her walk. Highly recommend Maya!!!!!!!
