“Ona was excellent she took great care of our cat who needs a puppy 2x a day. She sent pictures daily and reports. All was well when we got home and she even scooped the litter and brought in our mail!”
“I am so grateful for Caroline’s exceptional care of my cat during the days I was away for a second time since my last bookings! She went above and beyond to ensure he was well-fed, happy, and comfortable. Not only did she make sure he took his pills without a hitch, but she also spent quality time playing with him, which I really appreciated. Her communication was fantastic, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a responsible and loving sitter. Thank you, Caroline!”
“This was our first time having Rico come by for a drop in visit for our fur babies Bella and Mya, we received lots of pictures and an update. We will definitely book with Rico again in the future!”
“Amazing! Lavinia was able to step in last minute to care for my sweet kittens. She did a great job with them and I'm so grateful! She even dealt with the cans from the cat food so I came home to a clean house. So kind!”
“Heather has been so helpful checking up on our pups while we’re at work! It’s clear they are super comfortable with her and she always sends cute photos of their time together!”
“Isabella could have a career as a pet photographer as she always sends beautiful photos while I am away from home. She gets my male cat to pose as if he's going on the cover of GQ Cat magazine and even takes good photos of my people shy cat who likes to hide!”
“Jessica has been great with all 3 of my dogs. They love her! She’s also excellent with communication and is just a kind person. I highly recommend her!”
“My cat loves Steffen, and he brought over toys for him to try and keep which was very thoughtful. The apartment was very clean when I got back. He also went above and beyond with helping me with a perishable package that came while I was gone.”
“Alexandra put my mind at ease while looking after my cat when I went away. My cat easily gravitated towards her and felt safe! She was also experience with administering medicine (inhaler & pills) which is hard to come by. Friendly, reliable, punctual and helpful. 10/10 and will be using her again. Thank you Alexandra!”
“Baela did a great job taking care of my two cats! One of them is a little bit difficult and needed medication, and she took care of it no problem. My cats were happy when I got home, and everything was in order. Baela communicated very well before and during my trip. I would definitely recommend Baela and would use her again next time I go out of town.”
About: I’m a Social Work student taking online classes which give me the flexibility to spend time with your furry friends. Experience: I have taken care of cats and dogs with a variety of temperaments. If your pup is playful and energetic we can go for long walks, or if you have an older or more mellow dog I can quietly keep them company while I do homework. I have 15 years of experience pet-sitting for friends, families, and neighbors cats, dogs, birds, fish, and guinea pigs. I am comfortable administering oral medication and adhering to complex feeding schedules. About me: I am an artist and avid nature lover. During the summer I spend as much time outside as I can, and love to bring my sketchbook and watercolor paints with me on hikes. I am completing my Bachelors of Social Work at Robert’s Wesleyan University with the goal of becoming a grief counselor and end-of-life doula. Daily routine: When I’m not caring for pets or studying, I work as an Activities Coordinator at a senior living community 9am-5pm Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On those days I can stop by around noon for lunch or potty breaks. I am available evenings and most of the day Monday and Wednesday to spend with your pet. I’m also available holidays. I think it’s important to listen to what animals body language to ensure they are comfortable with how I interact with them. I pay attention to the boundaries they set with me and never push them to the point of unease.
“Jenine did a great job checking in on my cat. She kept me updated with pictures after every visit and gave my cat the love and attention she needed. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my girl while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Huge huge huge shout out to MacKenzie for watching my pups while I was out of town! I just moved up here and was a little worried about being away from the new place/state and leaving the dogs up here in the meantime. However, MacKenzie just seemed trustworthy, cool, and kind, and I was right! Not only did she want to make sure she did a good job and followed their schedules and everything to a T, she also just loved and cared about them instantly. What really sold MacKenzie as just being a rockstar was her willingness to work with my one dog who has major stranger danger and takes a bit to trust especially with females. MacKenzie did what she could and spent a lot of time focusing on his comfortability and building his trust with her while still ensuring my other dog got her attention and love as well. Throughout the visits, MacKenzie gave me numerous photos and videos as well as updates from all her visits. I am truly grateful to have had her help and her love and care for my animals while I was away. I will 100% be using MacKenzie from here on out for my animal’s care!”
About: I make time to care for dogs on my free time and love to make them feel special. I help busy hardworking owners feel relieved when they can work and know that their dog is in good hands. I am a student that is currently studying full time at my apartment and am available to schedule dog care. I am very organized and am able to set time for studying and pet care and play time. I can play with them and give them enrichment. I can pet them to soothe them. I can encourage drinking water to keep them healthy. I am very vocal when it comes to encouraging and letting pets know they are doing something well.
“Priya was fantastic with our pup—very conscientious of his needs, and willing to go above & beyond to make sure he, our home & our yard were well taken care of while we were gone. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

Take it from someone who does not do well away from her fur babies, BOOK LAVINIA. She communicates well, asks all the right questions, loves on your kitties like they’re her own and truly took all of the anxiety I had about leaving them, away! She genuinely cares about animals, and it shows. Seeing dozens of pictures of my cats every day truly made my vacation and I can’t wait to book her again!
Ona did such an amazing job taking care of my 2 cats. She sent the best pictures and extremely detailed updates. She went above and beyond, even bringing in my mail/packages and followed all directions (and there were MANY directions) exactly as I asked. I will absolutely use her again :)
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend
My first time using a pet sitter to visit my cat daily and Paige made the whole experience super easy and convenient! She followed all instructions, provided detailed daily updates and sent lots of photos of my cat. I would definitely work with her again as the experience was so much easier than packing everything for my cat to board and he was much happier at home. Thanks Paige!
Emalee once again did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She last minute was willing to increase the frequency of her visits to help apply some eye ointment when one of the kitties needed it right before I was going away. She did such an amazing job with them and I never have to worry about them while she is caring for them.
