“Our Ivy cat was given so much love and attention while we were away for 4 days. I’m so glad we found Karina and loved the many pictures and updates she provided us. We are definitely booking again in the future.”
“Jennifer took care of my cat when I was away for a short trip. My cat is older and can take time to warm up to strangers , but I left knowing my pet would be well cared for. Jennifer is friendly and professional.”
“This is the second time I booked Caitlin for drop-in daily visits with my three kitties while I was away. She was very flexible and accommodating when I had to extend my trip. I highly recommend her services. Great communication skills and daily updates. Caitlin takes excellent care of my cats while I am away!”
“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”
“Hayden did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats and fish for 21 days! She left us a full summary of her visits each day. The house was clean and the pets were happy when we got home. We will definitely ask her to pet sit in the future.”
“This was the first time I had used a sitter for my cat Princess outside of close friends/family. My cat is pretty anxious around new people but seemed very comfortable with Julia for her drop-in visits! I appreciated the pictures she took of Princess while I was away.”
“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”
“Astrid was awesome!! I had a last minute cancellation from a pet sitter just before I went on a two week trip. Astrid responded instantly to my asking for help and stopped by every day to check on my kittens! She also sent daily photos and a short update each day which helped me not worry about them too much. Thank you Astrid for the great help!”
About: We’ve had dogs in my home my entire life. I’m currently caring for 5 dogs. 3 are elderly. 2 are younger. I bathe them and care for them. I currently work full time Monday-Friday. Weekends I am free. I am able to watch pets during work days but I will have to leave them during the day! I’m currently not able to watch dogs at my home but I am more than happy to stay with them at your home. I can crate them as needed and let them outside as needed!
About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
“This was our second booking with Kat, and again, she was amazing. Very clear and communicative, and left fantastic notes, photos and videos of her visit. She’s obviously great with cats - you can certainly feel confident leaving your loved ones in her care. Thanks, Kat!”
“This is the second time we've booked Tina to check in on our cat while we were out of town. She is honestly the best - she writes wonderful, detailed updates and sends lots of photos, and is so attuned to my cat's needs. She also watered my plants and made sure they didn't die in the heat. On top of that, she was able to accommodate us when we needed to add an extra day due to travel issues. Would happily book again!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my two kitties while we were gone for 10 days. She went above and beyond caring for them. On a super hot day she left extra water bowls out for them, and also thoughtfully took my garbage out that was starting to smell from too many kitty wet food cans. I looked forward to her picture updates each day and she always communicated when something was needed to be shared. Her care and attention to detail was top notch. I highly recommend Ashley and would book again. Thank you Ashley!”
“Katie did a wonderful job taking great care of my senior kitty with kidney disease. All instructions were carefully followed, and she went above and beyond thinking about my cat's needs and trying to make sure she was comfortable. She kept me very well informed with her detailed reports and photos. Katie also worked hard at gaining my cat's trust and even ended up with the cat on her lap, which amazed me, as she usually won't go up on anyone's lap but mine. Katie is super sweet, competent, and reliable, and I highly recommend her!”
