“Mary-Kate did a fantastic job! I have two older cats that need to get medicine every day and she made sure they were both taken care of. I also have a super shy kitten who normally hides from strangers, but he came out to see her when she visited. It was a huge relief to find someone who did such an amazing job and was so great with all of my cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter.”


“Kathy is wonderful! She came to meet Mia prior to her first visit and this made us feel so much better since we’ve never used a service like this before. She communicates great and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Our puppy Mia loves her!”


“Nicole was wonderful! She took great care of our cat on short notice and sent photos that showed just how well our little guy was doing while we were away. We are so grateful for Nicole's help!”


“Emily is simply amazing! She is communicative and gives awesome updates. There was no doubt in our mind that our furbabies were being cared for with the utmost care. She went above and beyond our expectations and previous sitters. Highly highly recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs!!”


“So grateful to Donna for taking such good care of our cat while we were away! Communicative, kind, flexible, and reliable. She even stepped in and helped when our plans unexpectedly changed during the trip. A life-saver!”


“Kylee did an amazing 👏 job with my two cats. She was able to find them in their hiding places and that was no easy task, lol. She got to know them. I was impressed how much she cared and enjoyed her time visiting and playing with them while feeding, changing the litter and refilling the water. She loves animals! She is my cat sitter!”


“Haley was so flexible with our 6 month old puppy. She sent frequent updates, made sure he was fed, got his much needed exercise on walks, and was respectful of our home. It was such a relief to have Haley as reliable, trusted sitter while we were at work. Would definitely recommend Haley for any pet sitting needs!”


“Michelle was incredibly kind and understanding with our nervous rescue dog. After finding him abandoned in the woods, he’s been very shy and scared. Michelle showed immense patience and provided us with caring updates and photos. She even used commands he responded to and managed his anxiety brilliantly. She handled his jumping and barking like a true professional! We had a great experience with Michelle and will definitely call on her again when we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend her services!”


“Carolyn was prompt, professional and kind to our fur babies! Sent lots of photos and was in constant communication with us. Definitely will rebook for the future. High recommend.”


“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”

“Fiona and Filip were both amazing cat sitters for my two fur babies. They were prompt, responsive and so friendly with my girls. They both made sure to send photos, give updates on the rover card and put my mind at ease knowing my girls were in good hands while I was away on a trip. I will 100% book them again in the future!!”


About: Hi there! I’m a work-from-home dog lover who’s happiest when I’ve got a furry friend by my side. I’m reliable, playful, and super comfortable with puppies—including helping with basic training and routines. Since I’m home during the day, your pup will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and cuddles. Whether we’re going for walks, working on commands, or just hanging out, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away. I work from home, so can tailor my schedule to meet your needs as much as possible. I am also happy to visit during the weekend as needed and open to both house sitting and daily check-in’s. When watching pets in my home, I have a large back yard they can play on (although not fenced in). I do also have 2 dogs of my own so they will have a companion to play with! If visiting your home, I will treat it like my own and ensure it stays clean and cared for while I’m with your pets. I will stick to their routine and ensure they feel the same as when you are with them.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I currently have a cat, Leo and an Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua mix, Stella. I treat my animals like children, because they are my babies! I have a soft spot for animals and I will treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat mine while I am away. I work from home primarily, so I can watch your pet in my home and take your dog for frequent walks throughout the day. I am also available at nights and on the weekends for drop-in visits. I live in an apartment right in Malta, which is the perfect location for dog walking. My apartment has a litter box, a crate and pet beds for smaller animals.

“I can’t recommend Danielle enough! They took amazing care of my cat Jerry while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Danielle was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with cats. Jerry can be a bit shy with new people, but he warmed up to Danielle right away — a true testament to their gentle and kind approach. I received regular updates, including photos and little notes about how Jerry was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Danielle didn’t just “watch” Jerry, but genuinely cared for him — playing with him, keeping his routine, and making sure he felt safe and comfortable. When I came home, Jerry was relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after. Everything was neat and clean, and his food, water, and litter area were spotless. It honestly felt like I never left. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible cat sitter, look no further than Danielle. Jerry and I are both so lucky to have found her.”


About: I have had dogs for my entire life. I have always been one of the ones to walk, feed, bathe and care for them. All ranging from younger to older dogs. I work full time but get off work early, I always have free time and am always looking for things to occupy my time. I love animals and am currently going to school to be a vet tech. I have a fenced in yard and 2 others dogs. I used to dog sit and walk dogs around my old apartment complex. I am verg used to dealing with dogs of all sizes and even ones that have medical conditions.

About: I am a college sophomore on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive animal experience, including, but not limited to, giving medications to special needs and elderly dogs. I have worked with animals with all different temperaments and am able to work with each one at the level that they are comfortable with. I won't just watch your pup. I will make sure that they are happy and exercised! I will maintain communication and provide regular updates to assure you and your family that your pets are doing great! I'm currently working part-time but will start working full-time at the end of June. I will still have lots of time around my work schedule to make sure that your pet is getting all the love and attention it deserves! When I care for pets in their own home, I keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure. I always: - Follow your instructions carefully (feeding, walks, meds, etc.) - Keep your home tidy and clean up after pets - Provide companionship, cuddles, and playtime - Maintain their usual sleep, potty, and exercise habits - Bring in mail or water plants if needed - Send photos and updates so you know they’re doing great My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away.

About: From the time I was a kid, we have always had dogs growing up. I have trained my own dogs from 8 weeks old and taken care of neighbors/friends dogs and cats over the years as well. I am more than happy to provide daily walks, food, vitamins, and of course the occasional belly rub. I am a true believer that we do not deserve them as they’re too good for us. I work from home full time and would put my best efforts into providing great care for your furry friend and treating them with the love that I would my own. I love dogs and would love to help and watch them! My apartment is a 2 bedroom 2.5 bathroom 1300 square foot home. Your pet would sleep wherever they are most comfortable, get free roam of the apartment, and will be well taken care of! I live in a well-kept-up neighborhood, with awesome neighbors and perfect safe walking routes for your furry little family members. Since I work from home every day of the week, I have no issues with boarding, house sitting, drop-in, or walking your furry friend however often as needed. I simply love animals and am more than happy to help provide a safe and friendly environment for your loved ones. I live in an apartment complex in Malta. The location is a hot spot for dog walks as there are numerous options to go to!
