“Katie is such a wonderful soul. You always wonder if people will care for your babies/furbabies the way you would, and the moment we met her it was evident she’d be wonderful! She’s proven to be exactly that! Lots of pictures and nice updates! A true gem! Thank you Katie!!”
“Amazing as usual! Alyssa always makes sure I’m updated and sends pictures after each visit. I’m so grateful she was available on such short notice and took wonderful care of my cats. Highly highly recommend!”
“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”
“Alexa was so communicative and great with my cat! He takes oral medication and she handled it so well. Thank you, Alexa!! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat home alone for a week knowing you were checking on him.”
“Sam did a great job with our two cats. One was rather timid and he worked with her over the booking to get her from only eating on the stairs, to eating in the kitchen where she normally eats. We appreciated his patience with the cats and his willingness to play with them every day as they are very curious and energetic!”
“Eric was very communicative and made sure to share photos and play with my cats while I was gone. Gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was stopping by at the times I requested to give them attention, especially since it was a bit out of his way.”
“Our family was looking for a cat sitter while we were away on vacation. It was just the weekend prior to our leaving and I still hadn’t found anyone. Fortunately Lisbeth responded to my request and I’m so happy she did!! She took great care in getting to know them, caring for them and communicating with me. I know they all felt comfortable around her. She provided peace of mind and it’s often hard to find. Thank you Lisbeth! We will see you again in August lol”
“Joe did such an amazing job taking care of our three pets recently, including a couple of challenging dogs. Joe connected instantly with all our pets. He kept my wife and I posted on how everything was going and took great care of our home while we were gone. Joe is highly responsible, professional, and very easy to deal with.”
“Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats along with owning both myself for the majority of my life. I have done various types of volunteer work with animal shelters through Girl Scouts when I was younger and on my own time throughout the past few years. I have house sat dogs and cats for family and friends, ranging from kittens to a great dane! I am currently a student at Rowan university, my classes are pretty light this semester. Mondays & Wednesdays are busy from 2pm-6pm Tuesdays I am in class 5pm-6pm and Thursday is 930 am-12pm and 5pm-6pm. Free all other days and working around my schedule isn’t an issue for me at all! I am not able to care for pets in my home, due to still living on campus I wouldn’t be allowed to have any pets stay with me. :(
“Emma was so kind and easy to work with! Shared pictures and an update of my two cats everyday. The cats seemed very calm when I got home, so I know they were well taken care of.”
“Raquel was communicative and reliable when we needed a last-minute drop-in sitter for our cat over the holiday weekend. During the meet & greet, she was very interested in learning about Monty’s habits and needs. While we were away, Raquel sent updates and photos each day, and helped with an unexpected package delivery. It was great to know that Monty was in such good hands - we highly recommend Raquel!”

“We had a great experience with Melinda caring for our cat Ramen during our vacation. She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and kept our home clean and tidy. She provided wonderful company for our cat, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”
“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”

Emma took very good care of my cat, Cactus. She played with him gave him pets and treats, and sent me a nice report each day with fun pictures. Without a doubt, Emma is a caring cat (pet) lover and most reliable. Cactus was very well cared for with Emma - he was in good hands. Thanks so much!

Grace took great care of our cat while we were on vacstion. She was very diligent and conscientious, always right on time, floowing directions and giving our cat the attention she needs. Grace seems to have a way with animals because our cat warmed up to her immediately. Highly recommend.
