“Taylor has been awesome for our kitten Poe. She’s sent adorable pics and been in touch about her mood and energy level every visit. She’s also taken care of some house tasks for us while we’ve been away and it’s provided us a huge peace of mind. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Second time I’ve booked Heather and it went great, same as the first. My cat obviously feels really comfortable around Heather, which is great as it allows Celestia to get the social interaction that she so needs, especially when I’m out of town. Will book again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Jiahui was extremely communicative and thorough with her care for our two cats. She handled unexpected situations without hesitation. We will definitely trust our babies in her care again!”
“Helene is an angel! She bonded quickly when she came to meet my cats and was able to give pets and head scritches at that first meeting. She checked in with a short paragraph after each of her visits with updates and at least a dozen pictures each time. She gave me full confidence in her care of my cats and I recommend her highly!”
“Taylor was very attentive to my cat's needs when she came over for a meet-and-greet, and was regularly communicative and shared great pictures on a daily basis. I would highly recommend Taylor to others looking for sitters!”
“Ella was so great with our cat! He can be shy and a little timid and warmed up to her immediately. Communication was awesome and we loved getting all of the cute pictures every day. Having Ella checking in while we were away gave us such peace of mind. We’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her regularly!”
“Rebekah is lovely to work with...very responsive and my kitties were well cared for while I was away. I am super pleased with the quality of care she provided!”
“Hayden and Meghan took great care of my shy Kitty girl! Updates and pics were great and I could tell my girl was happy and in wonderful hands. Very thankful for great communication and watching over my girly pop!”
“Highly recommend Pierceson! She is communicative, reliable, and it’s clear she loves animals. I felt so confident being away from my kitties because I knew she’d take the best care of them. She also went above and beyond helping me figure out the best way to navigate getting her access / parking figured out for my tricky apartment.”
“Bryn was great! She was very punctual and did exactly what we asked. She is good with communication and even provided photos of our pet. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Natalie responded so quickly when I needed someone to check in on my cat for a few days at the last minute. She sent me great updates that assured me my cat was being taken care of. I’ll be re-booking in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and understand how unique they all can be. I know that all animals may experience a lot of emotions when their owners are away and I try to make sure to spend time with your pet and if able, give them all the rubs if they let me! Sometimes just a human presence can help them feel more at ease until their fur parents get home. My family all pet sits and have experience in several situations of watching your pet(s) and home while you’re away. I currently work full-time remote, so I am able to check on pets with ease. I live in downtown Raleigh and plan to service my surrounding area! I try to seem comfortable in my client’s home so your pets can feel at ease. I normally will get low to the ground/sit on the floor and pets usually love being able to come right over and let us get acquainted. Also, I try to keep an eye out for any vomit/accidents, as I know many pets become stressed when their parent is out of town.
“Diana was great, and offered to stop by for a meet and greet even with short notice. She was great with my cat, who can be a bit feisty at times! I would strongly recommend!”

Brittany took such great care of my kitties! It was a longer trip than I normally take, but after the first visit, I could tell my girls were in good hands. Brittiany gave great updates, even helped with some technical difficulties I was experiencing while away. I really appreciate the level of care she provided and will not hesitate to rebook her in the future.
Heather has gone above and beyond to give my cat the royal treatment! My cat looks forward to seeing her because she knows it means tons of fun, love and special time together. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my girl and keeping me updated so well! I know my cat is in safe hands with Heather!
This is our second time booking with Kaia. Our kitty is shy and it takes him a few days to warm up to people he’s not used to. Kaia sent “proof of life” photos of him in his hiding places each day so that we knew he was okay. And right on schedule, he finally ventured out for pets on day 3. We’ve been happy with Kaia’s services and we will book with her again.
