This is the second time we are using Sara’s service, so this review is for our previous experience as well as this experience with Sara as our cat sitter: Sara is not just a cat sitter, she’s a care taker in general. She would keep the place clean, spend time with our cat Titan, send us prompt updates with pics and vids of Titan. She communicates very well and is a very kind person. We left a list of things to do for Titan’s care - she went above and beyond. We trust her so much and she is the ideal person you’d leave your precious animals with. You can always count on Sara!

About: From fostering dogs to working at a wildlife rehab, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I bring patience, reliability, and attentive care to every pet. I work from home in Animal Control Administration, so your pet will have my full attention all day. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. My home is quiet with no other cats or dogs, making it a calm, stress-free space. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I’ll follow their usual routines — feeding, walks, play, and snuggles — so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. I had a miniature poodle for many years and then I had a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore animals and treat every fur friend like they’re my own. While I do work full time, my job is 1 mile from my home and I come home for lunch during the day and I’m home by 3:30 so pet sitting and boarding works well for my schedule. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of pet beds. I also have deck with a gate and dog bed in case they just want some fresh air.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and it shows — I’ve had an array of furry friends over the years! It all started about 20 years ago when my brother brought home our beloved Yorkie, Coco, and the rest was history. Since then, dogs have been a constant joy in my life. I love cuddling with them, taking way too many photos, and (admittedly) talking to them like they’re going to talk back. If you’re looking for someone who’ll treat your pup like family, I’d love to meet them! As a full-time creative, my schedule has a lot of natural flexibility built in. When I’m not deep in a project, your pet gets my full, undivided attention! No distractions, no rushing. I’m not juggling a 9-to-5, so I can be there when it counts. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I do care in your home, so they stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment! No stressful trips, no new smells to adjust to. I’m attentive and present with them during walks, playtime, and cuddles. I respect your home, your routines, and any specific instructions you leave me, because your trust matters as much as your pet’s happiness.

Lisa went out of her way to care for my pets. She braved the snowstorm of 2026 to make her appointments. She spent extra time with the dog, changed the cat litter, and cleaned the rabbit cage. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet nanny.

Cait is all that we could have asked for in a cat sitters. Patient , loving and very responsible she takes the time and effort to bond with our cat . She plays with kiki showers her with affection on every visit. Having her around gives us immense peace of mind whenever we are away. We have had her take care of kiki multiple times and will want to have her to sit for us as long as she is available.
