Jackie did a great job watching our cats while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and left our place clean. Definitely would use her again!

Coleen was awesome with our two senior cats! We were a little worried leaving them with someone new, but the cats had nothing but pawsome feedback. Both kitties are on medications and very demanding, and Coleen exceeded all expectations. Coleen was quick to respond to any questions and provided thorough details of each visit along with a plethora of photos showing the kitties in their natural habitat which was really helpful. We came home, the house was in one piece, looked a little better than before we left, cats were happy, not overly stressed, had plenty of food and water. What a relief to have someone we can count on to watch our fur babies. I would not hesitate to schedule with Coleen again, as she was stellar! Thank you for looking after our two cats!! We will absolutely book again!

Great job caring for 7 cats, it’s always complicated as the care is not the same for every one of them but Sheena was able to manage them all.

Amazing to work with. Among other things, Amanda takes fantastic pet photos. This can be a mixed blessing though, since it makes us miss our cat even more.

About: Passionate animal lover offering caring and dependable pet sitting. I may be new to professional pet care, but I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved! My mornings are open and flexible since I don't start work until later in the day. I enjoy starting my day with animals, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime, and I can provide dependable, attentive care during those hours At home, I care for my two cats by maintaining a clean, comfortable, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter or waste cleanup, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.

My cat can be finicky when we travel and doesn't want to eat properly. Not an issue this trip. Thanks to Jackie. She made it a family affair including her daughter in pet care. This is great in my opinion as it teaches responsibility and proper pet care as well as offers new experiences for the pets she's caring for. My kitty is getting old & lazy, but she responded well to their care and is happy and healthy. Thank you! Will reach out in the future as needed.

About: I’ve cared for both big and small dogs during multiple pet-sitting stays, making sure they get plenty of walks, meals, and attention while their owners are away. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to provide reliable, thoughtful care to keep them happy and comfortable. Whether your pup needs a walk, overnight care, or just some extra attention, I’m here to help! I work part-time with a varying schedule, but I’m generally available after my shifts. My regular hours are 7AM-2PM, so I have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I’m happy to fit pet care into my routine and make sure your furry friend gets the attention they need! I do not offer boarding at this time, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure each dog’s routine is maintained, whether that includes feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or any special care needs. My goal is to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner while they’re away.

Kathleen is really great at what she does! She's great at communicating which made her easy to book, and easy to add visits as needed as my trip changed. She was absolutely lovely with my dog Pickle, giving plenty of love and belly rubs. She sent numerous pictures, kept me well updated, and allowed me to have piece of mind while I was on a trip. I won't hesitate to book her again and would reccomend her to others.

Always attentive and takes great care of our cats. Multiple repeat bookings from us. This last trip had a few bumps: our home lost power & our computer battery backup failed causing an alarm. Elijah contacted us and collectively corrected it. Then she alerted us to people in our yard, turns out it was the neighbors watering our vegetables. But these are great examples of how Elijah shows she really cares & is proactive.

After reviewing Beth’s profile, I knew my husband and I found a good fit for our cat Greyleigh. All of our instructions were followed, and Grey seemed to warm up to Beth as the days went on! We appreciate the attentiveness and care that Beth showed Greyleigh during the drop-ins. We’ll definitely be booking with Beth in the future!

Yulissa took care of my cat, Floyd, for a day (2 visits). She followed the instructions I provided her for his food and medicine. She sent photo updates along with a message for each visit. I had also gotten a package earlier than expected and she kindly brought it inside my house. She did communicate when she was going to be running a little late, which I appreciated.

Kim accepted a same-day drop-in request to feed dinner to one of my cats while I took the other to urgent care. I was grateful for her availability (and the photos of my cat on her lap). It's great to have a cat-sitter like Kim whom I know I can trust!
