“Second time we booked Jenn. My kitty is so comfortable with Jenn and knowing my social girl was being visited while we were gone was such a comfort! We will definitely ask for Jenn again!”
“Daniela was wonderful with my cat and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. She stayed for two nights in my home while I was away. She was respectful of my space and left everything in great condition when she left. My cat was well looked after and I received plenty of updates and photos from Daniela which gave me great peace of mind. :) Overall Daniela is kind, thorough, communicative and most of all really cares about animals and knows how to take care of them. I felt my cat was in great hands!”
“Shanneal is an amazing dog sitter. She went over and above for my fur baby. My dog was completely happy with her attention to him. Always kept me updated on what was going on and plenty of pictures. I would recommend her 100%. Will definitely be my go to for Syd.”
“Annabella was amazing. I can't thank her enough for taking care of my girls. She was very communicative and treated my animals like her own. She was able to be flexible with my hours and provided me detailed reports each day she visited to let me know how they were eating and doing.”
About: I have had many pets since I was a kid such as cats, dogs, parrots, bunnies and even iguanas as well as taken care of pets from family members and friends. Moreover, I have taken care of my cat since he was a kitten 4 years ago and fallen further in love with cats ever since. Fun fact I trained him to use the toilet! I am very exited to become your cat(s) and dog(s) new friend, take care of them, play and most importantly show them affection and everything I’ve learned about animals. I am also open to other animals and learn in the process as new knowledge is greatly appreciated! I am working part time and available mornings until 1 p.m then 6:30 p.m to 10 p.m on Tu/Wed/Fr; and Mo/Th mornings until 1 p.m only. Saturday and Sunday varies but I’m willing to accommodate. I can care for your pet by following specific instructions and keep them within reach and sight, making sure they are supervised all the time and keeping an eye for anything they can chew/eat or swallow that can pose a potential threat; as well as following feeding schedules and potty breaks.
“Samantha was very nice and sweet with our princess! I loved that she kept us updated every visit and she followed all the instructions we gave her. Thank you so much Samantha for the great job!!”

About: I love dogs and cats all my heart! I grew up with two dogs, but unfortunately had to give them away as I moved. While I don’t currently have any pets due to my apartment not allowing them, I understand their needs and have always been a quick learner that adapts to any situation. I frequently pet sit for friends and absolutely love being around them. I will make all of the time in the world to hang out with your pets! I know how important it is for them to feel loved and get the attention that they deserve. I will make sure that your pets are my number one priority. It’s important to me that they are given all of the attention in the world, and that they feel very loved and cared for.
About: So many friends and neighbors wanted me to take care of their dogs when i was just a kid cause they knew that i can understand their language. I was taking care of dogs and cats just as a hobby only for people i knew, but decided i can help more pet owners and make everyone’s life easier!! I have experiences with puppies and senior care.

I only walk with leash, sometimes dogs see rabbits or squirrels and chase after them. We don’t want anyone to get hurt or scared 🫶🏻
About: I own 4 cats, 1 dog. That's the emptiest my house has ever been. That being said, I'm experienced administering medicines if needed but we'll also map out who you'd like me to contact in case of an emergency in addition to adding me to your vet's list as a caretaker should you need it I'm on an extended break from corporate life so I'm free 7 days a week for any requests. Give me the details and we'll discuss your needs further Depends on the need. My dog and cats are friendly towards dogs and cats and I have a small backyard to keep your dog separated if necessary. I also spend time at the park to offer your dog some outdoor time and the opportunity to interact with other dogs (mostly mine)
“If you are looking for a cat sitter your search is over!! Haley was caring, communicative, and went the extra mile to make sure my precious kitty felt safe and loved during my trip away. Thank you Haley!!”
About: I have had animals all my life even animals besides dogs and cats. I love animals and I love taking care of them. I am really good with animals and getting them to feel comfortable. I know how to feed them, walk them, etc. I currently just have classes but i’m available Monday-Thursday from 3pm+ and on weekends (including Fridays) i’m available at any time that I am needed! At your home, I will make sure to pay attention to the rules you have for me and your fur baby. I can walk them a certain way, crate them when needed, feed them when needed. Anything you want, I can provide! I just want to be able to give you a sense of security knowing your dog/cat is safe!
“I asked Kimberly to do everyday check in to Diane this week. She has been very patient with Diane these past few days cause she still barks at her when she arrives but stops once they go outside. She always update me how Diane was doing each day. She's always on time too and very nice.”
About: I’ve always taken care of my family member’s dogs. For the longest time I begged my parents to get a dog and they finally did 2 years ago. We now have a chihuahua terrier mix we rescued from the shelter. In addition to that we have 5 chickens, 2 bunnies, and a dove that we saved as well. We are a pretty big animal loving family! I currently work at an elementary school during school hours which is around 8am-1:30 the latest 2:30. So anytime after that I am completely open. Since it is currently summer school I am available after 12:30pm. I live in an apartment so I am not able to take pets home but I would love to sit for them at the pet caregivers home! I am pretty much available mid afternoon-evening weekdays and available all day on weekends!
“I could not have asked for a better care giver for our fur baby while we were out of town than Emily. My kitten does not do well alone and she stayed at our home with him and he took to her right away. She provided me with regular updates, was incredibly kind and responsive, respectful, and responsible. She was in ongoing communication with me and followed every ask I had. I would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Paula's help with drop-in visits for my two cats was superb! Her updates after visiting were always thorough and demonstrated care for my pets. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Sanaz is absolutely wonderful! Milo and especially Atlas adore her! They snuggle right up and are completely attached whenever she’s around. It’s clear how much love and comfort she brings them. I’ve already booked her again! She is truly wonderful.”
About: I'm a part time student with a deep love for animals. Especially doggo's. I have a small Yorkshire terrier that never seems to run out of energy when on walks. I take her on at least hour walks so if you'd like to have your pet walked longer than 30 mins i'm more than happy to. I also sometimes jog with my terrier so if your dog's looking to shave off a couple hairs for the beach i'll happily throw on my running shoes. Same thing goes for sitting. Even if you just want me to stay with your dog for a little bit longer for whatever reason, doesn't matter to me, as long as the dogs happy I will be more than happy to. I have multiple animals at home and worked as a sitter for the last 4 years. Taking care of pets is practically all I know. I take lots of notes while the client goes through the meet and greet, when I finally go to the home to preform the service, I make sure to double check the notes beforehand and make sure I follow everything on the list carefully. If anything happens during the visit I'll do everything I can to reach the clients.

I love booking with Eileen! She is extremely communicative and ensures that she follows my notes. Eileen also went above and beyond with my cat by trying different ways to get her to eat more. She also updated me daily about my cat’s mood and health as well. Additionally, Eileen sent lots of pictures and videos each visit, which I greatly appreciated. The videos (with lots of purring) showed me just how much my fur baby loves her. Thank you again Eileen!!
Jill is so wonderful with cats. Santa seemed to remember her from last year. She played with Santa and brushed him (which he loves). Not only did Jill take care of Santa but she pulled up our empty trash cans from the street all the way back up the driveway in the rain!!!
Jackie was hands down the best sitter we've ever used. Not only was she timely and provided continuous communication, she was more than equipped to handle additional pill/liquid prescriptions required as a result of a sudden change in one of our cats' health. 10/10 would recommend Jackie without any reservations and will definitely be looking to her in the future.
Jayline was amazing with my cat, Houshang, while we were traveling for 2 weeks! She took such great care of him, made sure he got all of his medication on time, and followed every instruction perfectly. She was always punctual, super nice, and very flexible, which made everything stress-free for me. Knowing Houshang was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
