“Kristen was wonderful. She really tried to get to know my Ragdoll kitten, Muffin. She kept in touch with pictures, video, and comments. She let me know what she did during each visit and went above and beyond. I came home to a relaxed and happy kitten who had never been left by himself before. She's great, I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first experience with Erin, and will absolutely have her back. She was fabulous. Very attentive to the particular needs of our two cats. Great communicator. Thank you, Erin!”
“Aleta took such great care of our cats while we were away! She seemed to really care about and have a genuinely good time with them, which makes for a better experience for them, too! Super responsible and responsive. Thank you so much!!”
“I’m a repeat client of Rucha’s. She cares for my Suki like her own cat and is super responsive. She has all the qualities you want in a reliable sitter; anytime I’m out of town, I can call on Rucha and feel less stressed about leaving my Suki at home.”
“Sarah was great. She visited my cat while I was out of town, took care of all of her needs and beyond, brushed her and even gave her some outside time. The many photos she took helped me feel like Faye was well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitting experience. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Emily H. did a great job taking care of my two cats. I found her daily updates and photos of each cat reassuring. I plan on using her expertise if needed again and highly recommend her.”
“Kaylee was great! Very responsible, dedicated, and communicative. I felt safe knowing she was looking after my cats, and she went above and beyond dealing with their shenanigans! Totally recommend her as a pet-sitter.”
“Caroline did a great job taking care of our pets and home for an extended week. We really appreciated all the photos and updates during our trip. The house was super clean when we came back and all our pets and plants were happy. I would highly suggest Caroline for peace of mind while you are away”
“Sara took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She provided updates each visit and included multiple photos of him. I felt comfortable that he was being taken care of all weekend and came home to a happy cat. I highly recommend Sara and will be contacting her for future services next time I need a pet sitter!”
About: 5 years of pet care experience. I grew up with 2 cats and have had 2 dogs in my adult years. Absolutely love animals watching them learn and play. Currently working remote part time. I have availability most days. Can provide full day care or part time or night out care. Pretty flexible. Weekends only available during the early morning or late evening. I live in a one bedroom apartment with 1 dog (a Pomsky) Close to a river walk, and short walk to a nice nature park.
“Rossy was an excellent sitter for my shy kitty. Not only did she keep her food and water topped off and litter clean, but she also put in a lot of effort to interact with my cat who, unfortunately, hid the whole time. It was so nice knowing that my kitty was at least having someone there to spend time with her, even if she was too scared to come out. I would highly recommend Rossy and will definitely book her in the future!!”
About: I grew up in an animal loving household and have always jumped at any opportunity to spend time with and care for many types of pets. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15 and it’s never felt like a job because I love to do it! I am in school full-time but it is online, so my hours are very flexible. As long as I have notice, I can accommodate whatever timing is most convenient for you. My number one priority is making sure your pet feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I will take things at their pace and make sure to maintain open communication with you, the client, so I know how to properly see to your pet’s specific needs.
“Steven was awesome! He took great care of my two cats over the weekend, sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and was super easy to communicate with. Definitely would book again!”
“Dina instantly fell in love with my cats including the strays outside! She will love your baby unconditionally and it shows! She is always on time, thorough, and of course loving!!! Thank you Dina!!!!!!”
“Lily filled in catsitting for a few days at the end of our vacation and was great! She was super responsive throughout, came to meet the cats with just a day's notice, and also went to the house in an hour's time—at a different time than her usual visit—when I asked if she could run over to get some packages delivered to our porch inside for us. Would happily recommend and have Lily come by again.”
“Rachel was the best cat sitter we could have hoped for. She communicated constantly, sent pictures, answered our questions, and remained attentive throughout her stay in our home. Our cats, who are normally very shy of strangers, quickly warmed up to her with snuggles - a very unprecedented thing! Feeling that sense of trust and security for our animals made our trip that much more enjoyable, knowing we did not have to worry at all about how our cats were doing. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Alexandra checked in every day, sent me photos of every visit and even marked to let me know if he’d used the litter box. My cat seems to have liked playing and getting pets from her, so kitty approved 👍”
About: I grew up in a house with dogs, and have been taking care of them since I was about 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for there animals while away ! As I said In my bio, I am a college athlete so I do have practice during the week and traveling during weekends. Although my class schedule is flexible and I do have a reliable car :) time spend with the animal, walking and exercise is super important to me. I will do everything in my power to give your animal all the love and attention it needs
“Claudia was amazingly professional and attentive to my two senior cats. I had to go out of town for 9 days and she stayed over, taking great care of them. For shorter trips away, I usually have friends stop in to check on them, but the cats are always stressed out when I get back. This time, they were pretty normal when I got home despite the longer time away, clearly having felt well taken care of the whole time!”
