My kitty was happy and content with Lingshan’s visits every morning for two weeks. This was a big relief because she wouldn’t come out when Lingshan first came over to meet her! I also appreciated the photos Lingshan shared with me every day. The next time I go away, I hope Lingshan will come over again, although I will have to make sure that I’m more clear on how the litter boxes must be cleaned every day.

About: I’ve pet-sat for both dogs and cats over the last four years. I have been the primary cat-sitter for a nervous, diabetic cat for four years. I recently finished high school and as a result have a lot of free time to fill with caring for animals! I am happy to make time to care for your pet in the morning, afternoon, or evening throughout the week. I will first take care of your pet’s needs by providing food and water, walking, or cleaning the litter box. Then I will pet and play with your pet, or sit quietly on the floor until they are comfortable enough to come meet me.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!

About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.

I just returned home from a short trip and had hired Sharon Michelle to do twice daily drop in visits with my cats. I couldn’t be happier with her services. She responded promptly to my initial inquiries, and continued to communicate regularly throughout the time I was away, sending pictures with each visit. She followed my instructions, and made me aware when something unusual occurred. My cats seemed quite content upon my return, and I was relaxed while away knowing they were being receiving good care. I will definitely rehire her when the need arises, and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caregiver for their pet.

Apprehension and worry runs very high when you are giving keys to your home to a total stranger and asking them to take care of your family members. Communicating with Sophia put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my cats, but she also went above and beyond by tending to my outside animal visitors Throughout her visits, Sophia maintained clear communication, updating me regularly on how everything was going. Knowing that my pets were in such capable hands allowed me to enjoy my time away. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Her attention to detail and caring nature makes her a standout choice for anyone looking to entrust their beloved pets to someone who truly cares.

I trust her completely and will definitely keep booking her services. She’s reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond. If you want peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands, you won’t regret choosing Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pup!

I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!

Courtney was incredible. Not only did she do really well with our older cat (who can be slow to trust) she went above and beyond including dropping by our house at night (after she had already visited our cat for the day!) to grab an important box of medicine and get it out of the rain and into the fridge (even though I told her it could wait a day to not inconvenience her!) She's really a great person, a wonderful sitter and our cat loved spending time with her!

Ashley was an absolute gem! She was completely reliable; we never had to wonder if she’d show up or follow through. The adorable photos she sent at every visit became the little highlight of our day we’d find ourselves looking forward to. The biggest sign she was doing something right? Our cat normally wolfs down her food out of anxiety or boredom when we travel — with Ashley, she ate totally calmly and looked happy in the photos. That said it all. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind and will 100% be rebooking her. Highly recommend!

One of the best pet sitters I have had. I have an older cat with medical problems. My 2nd cat can be aggressive with strangers especially when giving my older cat meds. She had the least problems of any pet sitter and was great with handling both. She is reliable and competent. Just did an amazing job.
