“Xiana took such wonderful care of my cat Tasha while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty. She gave thoughtful updates (and great pictures!) and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Aubrey was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our cat Tasha, but Aubrey made the entire process wonderful. She was always great with communication and kept us informed how things were going (thanks for the pictures!). We will definitely be looking for Aubrey again in the future.”
“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Matthew is very kind and considerate, and it was very nice to work with him. He made sure all of the information and access he needed was settled in the meet-and-greet, then confirmed the day we left so that everyone was confident that Chaucer would be well taken care of. Our shy kitty even came out briefly while Matthew was taking care of him, which is a massive credit to Matthew's calm manner!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I’ve always had a cat growing up and when I was old enough to get my own pet I had a dog. I work part time at a dog boarding facility and when I’m not there I’m home. So I have plenty of free time to do walks, dog parks, naps on the couch, play time, and anything else needed for your fur baby. I care for pets like they are my own with unlimited pets & love. I also treat other homes like it’s my own clean, tighty, and in place.
“Lindsay was amazing while we were on a long trip. She gave updates and photos each day, even when we were out of cell range. We got home to a very happy cat and no cat accidents anywhere! We will absolutely use and recommend Lindsay in the future!”
“Jennifer was so amazing to my Bella, I never worried a single second I was gone! She is not only so sweet, but genuinely cares for and loves animals. I will 100% be asking her to watch my pup again! Thank you Jennifer❤️”

“I have known her my whole life and she’s always gone out of her way to take care of our family’s pets and go above and beyond for her own. She made our dog feel so comfortable that whenever there was a thunderstorm or fireworks they would retreat to her room for comfort, even when she wasn’t home. She gives her own cats all the toys and the best food they could dream of to make sure they never get bored or are unhealthy. She has only ever shown love to animals and has never hurt them. She treats every animal with the same love and kindness they all deserve.”
