Trevor has watched our cats, Mira and Wren, twice and he’s been fantastic every time. He’s super responsive with messages, sends adorable photo updates, and takes the time to play with them and keep them comfortable. Thank you so much Trevor!

Marna was super responsive and took really good care of my 11-year-old cat while I was away for 5 days. I really appreciated that I was able to book pretty last minute and my cat seemed happy and healthy when I got back. That’s all I can ask for!

Jess is GREAT! She very quickly gained the trust of our senior and special needs dog. He is comfortable with her and benefits from her visits every week! She is punctual, trustworthy, sends updates, flexible schedule, communicates clearly and quickly, and we feel she truly loves our dog. It is very difficult to find someone who would care for your pet as you would and we are so grateful for Jess!

Muriel was excellent! She took extra time and care to make sure each of our three cats was eating well despite them being prone to hiding/being shy. We got pictures every day and felt at ease with them in her care!

Madeleine was absolutely awesome to work with and highly recommend! This is the first time we've had someone new come in to check on him and he has a history of being stubborn and she got him out every time. The photos and little updates were great and she really made us feel comfortable being away. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Great communication, and answered all my questions.

Maureen took care of our elder cat babies while we were away for the holiday. She walked us through the entire process and was very knowledgeable. We had never used this type of service before, but it was necessary due to daily meds. Maureen was easy to get ahold of and we felt our quirky cat babies were in good hands.

About: I have always loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid! I have been around dogs since I was little and I live with a cat now! I would adore taking your furry friend for a walk or checking up on your cat when you are away. I am currently trying to fit dog walking into my schedule in the mornings before my job starts (STARTING IN MAY). I can also check up on your furry friend in the evening. I am also building my online business so days I am not at my other job are more flexible! I am very good at directions and pay attention to details. I will follow the directions left by the owners when doing a check in! I listen to the pet, and if they are not so sure of me, I let them come to me (especially with cats!) And of course there will be lots of pets!

Jesika went above and beyond to help me out. On short notice, she took on this shift on Thanksgiving, which is a busy day. She arrived on time, handled all my requests efficiently, and managed to complete the task without ever being at my home. She even left everything in the same condition and sent me photos and videos as a thank you. I highly recommend her services.

Absolutely so pleased with Melissa. She was great about the communication after each check in and I found myself loving my photos of my cat on vacation! so sweet as you can relax and know your baby is good hands. Melissa took the time to clean litter boxes and dispose of everything, it was like we weren’t even away. Thank you for an amazing first time experience. Also, thank you for noticing the ice maker going crazy! Po thanks you, too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Angela was such a great catsitter, we would highly recommended her to anyone. She had thoughtful questions prior to the sit, and was clearly caring with our meows. You can always tell by the cats energy after returning home... our cats were so happy, we know they were in good care. Angela's messages and photos were super detailed and full of kindness. We hope to have her back : )

Rose was the best sitter we could have asked for. We have a very needy medically and dietary complex senior kitty, and Rose took the best care of her to the point that these two very anxious pet parents were at ease. She was fantastic with our cat; she made sure to document so much. Rose sent detailed notes after each visit, along with a plethora of pictures- we would hire her again anytime!

My two dogs had a wonderful experience with Avital! She was very kind and patient with my small dog who is very shy around all of three people in his life. By the end of the 4 days we had hired Avital for, our shy boy adored her! 100% recommend her for any of your pet needs! We look forward to working with Avital for all of our future pet-sitter needs! She is wonderful, patient, and kind; everything you hope the person you’re entrusting your fur babies to be!

Priscilla is amazing! She took such good care of my two cats that even my shy kitty opened up and initiated playtime. Her updates are thorough and include lots of photos, she’s friendly and communicative over chat, and she executes the care plan to a T. It was wonderful to know my kitties were in such excellent hands while I was away and to not need to worry about them. Will definitely be booking with Priscilla again!

Muriel was very sweet with the pets and communicated really well. When a storm threatened our flight, she stayed in touch and worked around her schedule to be able to bridge the gap so that care continued until we got home. I would definitely recommend her anytime.
