“Truly the best cat sitter I’ve had! Emily is so thoughtful and patient, really taking the time to get to know my cat. My (very) sky kitty warmed up to her and started greeting her at the door for pets and play time. I couldn’t ask for anything more!”
“Yaniera is exceptional! We looked forward to receiving her daily messages and pictures the whole time we were away. Like everyone else said in their reviews, Yaniera is incredibly responsive and professional. Most importantly, our cats didn’t give us cold shoulders when we got home—which means they were getting LOTS of attention from Yaniera during her drop in visits. We will definitely book again soon!!”

“Bailey did such an amazing job watching our kitties! She sent the most detailed visit summaries and tons of pictures- it was so great to hear all about how our girls were doing. She spent plenty of time playing with them, and mochi, who is very shy, warmed right up to Bailey in no time. I would 100% recommend Bailey to watch your pets!”
“Alexa did a fantastic job taking care of my 18 year old chinchilla, Chile! She took the time to write out detailed updates on how much Chile ate and what kind of mood she was in, and included some very cute pictures of Chile as well! I really appreciated the thought and care she put into taking the next care possible of Chile. I would absolutely recommend Alexa to any pet owner, whether you have cats, dogs, or chinchillas!”
“Brian was great: he took good care of our cat Buffy and made sure we received daily updates and pictures. He and Buffy got along very well and we came home to a happy cat after our 2-week vacation!”

Katrina did a wonderful job with our cat over a long weekend. She was consistent and communicative. She is a true cat lover and met all of Gene’s needs. Would call on her again in an instant! We returned to find everything in good order and a happy, settled cat!
Nina did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week. She came over, free of charge, prior to starting drop in visits to get an idea of the lay out of my apartment in order to take the best care of Siri; she said she prefers to do this in order to limit interruptions while pet owners are out of town. Nina and I were in communication only when necessary. She did send videos of Siri which I appreciated. I also forgot to mention my Litter Genie when she came over. But, she brought her own trash bags in order to dispose of used litter. Flexible, friendly, and responsible! I will definitely book with her again the next time I’m out of town. Thank you!
Emily is a caring and communicative cat sitter who always goes above and beyond to ensure our fur babies are content while we are away. We have trusted Emily to watch our cats multiple times, and will continue to do so into the future! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area :)
Maggie was an amazing cat sitter to our four cats!! She has four cats herself so I knew that my babies would be in good hands with her :) she was super thorough, attentive, and responsive to messages. As many pet owners know, going on vacation can be hard when you’re worried about or missing your pets at home- but I felt super at ease knowing they were in good hands, and was able to enjoy my vacation. I 100% recommend Maggie as a pet sitter!!
