We felt so good knowing Olive was in Art's hands while we were away. His friendliness and knowledge made Olive feel comfortable while we were gone. Art kept in touch with us and sent us pictures after having some great play time. We will definitely use Art again.

Katharine did visits for my two cats I choose her because of previous good reviews and because she had cats of her own and was previously a vet tech She did a great job of taking care of my boys and sent daily messages. One of my cats hides around new people but she made she she looked for him every visit to make sure he was doing okay. I would diffently use her services again.

Marissa was very professional I like the fact that she was qualified to care for dogs because of her work at a pet clinic and college background. She made sure to take notes for the care of my senior dog Ginger. she took pictures and made sure Ginger was comfortable before leaving. I would highly recommend Marissa for anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Amanda did a great job with our cats while we were away! She updated us with photos, while she spent time with them and that totally put my two daughters at ease. She also brought some large packages in from our front porch, which was a total help. We'd definitely book with Amanda again in the future. Thanks so much!

About: Hi there! I’m Anna, lover of all pets—young or old, tiny or tall. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve owned cats, dogs, and rabbits, cared for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, volunteered at the Yorkville Animal Hospital, and worked as a dog walker for Midday Play in Sandwich. I take all opportunities to befriend every pet I meet, and I’d love to get to know yours too! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I do have a night class every Wednesday, but besides that my schedule is very open. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, health, and happiness. I believe in respecting both my clients’ requests and the homes I’m visiting. Any instructions you provide will be followed with the utmost care to ensure both you and your furry friend are happy. If I ever need clarification, I’ll be sure to ask.

Michelle is wonderful! Initially I hired her to stay in my house a few days with my 16.5 yr old dog, but unfortunately he passed away before the trip. Michelle helped change our agreement, and she looked in on our cat and house instead. Great communication and I knew my cat and house was in great hands!

This was the first time using a cat sitter service .I was somewhat hesitant having a stranger in the house while I was gone . Ashley was great . She did all that I had asked and was great at communicating . I think she and the cat bonded . When I have to go out of town again Ashley will be my first choice.
