“Sandra was wonderful! She was extremely communicative, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very patient and gentle with our three very shy cats. We really appreciated how carefully she followed all of our instructions—it was clear she was attentive and detail-oriented. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have had cats my entire life and I always have been a huge animal lover! During Covid, I finally got my very first puppy after wanting a dog for so many years. It has been one of the best experiences for me. Before becoming a dog owner myself, I spent years helping friends and family by walking their dogs and caring for their cats. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I always treat animals with patience love and care like they’re my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just company I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for early morning walks or check-ins starting as early as 6:00 AM-7 am before work. I’m also available after 2:00 PM on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m available in the mornings until around 12:00 PM. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions closely, give pets lots of love and attention, and treat every home with respect by keeping it clean and secure.
“Cheryll was so warm and caring. I had no worries knowing he would spend some time with my pup. She arrived as scheduled and even stayed a little longer than requested. We will definitely use Cheryll again!”
About: My name is Lorenzo and I own and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I’ve always been good with dogs ever since I was a kid and understand what dogs need and the responsibility of taking care of dogs. If you need a dog walker, dog sitter, someone to check in on your dog, or someone to stay with with your pup then I’m the one for the job. It’s my aim to love and adore your dog as much as you do. I absolutely love dogs and I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I’m an active athlete and will love to take your dog on exciting adventures and have a great time. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. Even though I have a part-time job, I always make time for feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to the pets I care for. I’m very organized, so I plan my schedule to make sure their needs come first. I also keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, and do weekly tasks. I’m flexible and happy to work with pet owners to create a schedule that works for both of us, making sure their pets get consistent, loving care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I would give my own. I always begin by reviewing the client’s instructions carefully to ensure I fully understand the pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical requirements, and behavior patterns. Consistency is key, so I do my best to maintain the pet’s usual schedule—whether that involves specific feeding times, regular walks, play sessions, or quiet time. I take extra care to keep the home clean and secure while I'm there, including cleaning up after the pet, locking up when I leave, and making sure the pet has fresh water, a tidy living area, and any comforts they’re used to. I also pay attention to details like adjusting lights or curtains if needed, bringing in mail, or watering plants if requested—anything that helps maintain the normal routine and security of the home. Regular communication is also important to me. I provide updates, photos, or quick messages to reassure the owner and let them know how their pet is doing. I understand the trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your pet, Therefore, my top priorities are care, accountability, and reliability.
“Elena was wonderful. We were away for 3 weeks, and she did a super job looking after our cat while we were away. We love her, and absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!”
“Brenton did a great job winning over our timid dog. He’s walks Pierre around our neighborhood, and we’re very grateful he has experience reassuring & encouraging shy dogs. Pierre is learning to trust strange humans with Brenton’s kind and calm expertise. When we need walking again, we’ll definitely reach out to Brenton.”
“Stephanie helped me with my first long night away from my new companion. The thoughtful summary and amazing care and cute pictures really put me at ease knowing my pet was being cared for so well. Looking forward to scheduling again!”
“Jie provided excellent care for our 15-year-old medically fragile senior kitty, who has several health conditions that require daily medication. We booked her to visit our cat three times daily to give her food, meds, litter box scooping, and quality time (cuddles, pets, scritches) while we were out of the country. During these check-ins, she sent us lots of pics, videos, and detailed notes about our cat’s appetite, hydration levels, medication reactions, and litter box activity. When she noticed concerning symptoms (decreased appetite, peeing outside the litter box) she called me immediately to let me know and discuss our options. What impressed me most was her ability to give our cat her daily medication (oral pills) in a way that was quick and low-stress, which did not result in any hisses or bites. I can tell she truly loves cats and cared about our kitty’s well-being as much as we do. We felt reassured that our cat was in good hands with Jie, and we’d definitely book her again for future cat sitting.”
About: I love animals and have over 10 years of experience caring for cats, including special needs. I’ve also walked dogs, given meds, trimmed nails, and raised newborn kittens. I always try to understand each dog’s personality and study canine behavior to build trust and connection. I treat every pet like my own. At the moment, I work as a freelancer, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the entire week for your pet’s needs. I am a calm and easygoing person, and animals usually feel very relaxed around me. I can either visit your home or host your pets at mine. I also have a beautiful backyard garden.
“Jen is amazing! She watched over our cat over an extended trip, visiting twice a day and making sure all of his needs were met. She helped out IMMENSELY and went above and beyond. We were able to relax on the trip knowing (and seeing!) that our cat was happy, playing, and feeling calm.”
“Maria has been so wonderful! She leaves detailed notes, takes lots of pictures, and takes good care of my little one during her drop in visits. She asks questions to make sure she's meeting my dog's needs. She is also very thorough and it provides me with relief to know my dog is in good hands while I'm away!”
“My has helped us take care of our babies twice now and she’s the best! She’s very attentive and always shares a bunch of photos and details about the visit with us. Our kitties love her. Thank you My!”

My shy, fussy cats really warmed up to Maria! She came morning and evening for 12 days while I was away and during that time she brought them out of their shell. Not only that but she cleaned the litter box wach time and washed the food dishes and cleaned the feeding mat each time. So adding it all up: quality socializing and play time plus cleaning and feeding, My kitties and I give Maria 5 stars!
Yujie took amazing care of my two 6-year old cats while I was away. Her energy is calming and my cats liked her right away from our initial meet and greet. They were very happy to have her come visit :). Yujie gave detailed written updates each day and was flexible with the timing of the drop in visits. Great communication and professional! She also sent so many cute pictures, a video, and played with my cats and spent time with them! I definitely recommend Yujie for drop in visits for cats!!
Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!
Andrea did an amazing job caring for our kitties, Leya and Simon! We really appreciated how thorough she was and how carefully she followed all of our instructions. She spent lots of quality playtime with Simon, which he absolutely loved, and gave both cats wonderful care and attention while we were away. Andrea was also very respectful of our home, which gave us extra peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!
Jasmine (Jie) was a wonderful sitter for our cat. We booked 2 weeks of drop in visits while we were traveling and she went above and beyond. Our cat loved her and we could travel with a peace of mind since we knew she was taking good care of her. She is very attentive and also very responsive to messages. She would notice little details and changes in our cat and let us know immediately. We would love to keep working with Jasmine in the future!
Sandra took such proactive care of our cat Bo. Bo had thrown up twice during the time we were away. Sandra proactively informed us, went out of the way to ensure Bo was taken care of and even manually cleaned our sofa covers and the blanket and proactively put it in the laundry without us even asking once. She went above and beyond in many ways big and small - including putting the litter bags in the garbage bins outside the house despite us telling her it’s okay to leave it in the trash cans inside the house. This was our first time hiring Sandra but we really lucked out and she’s the only sitter we’ll hire again!
Jae did a wonderful job watching our two cats! We really appreciated her availability over the holidays. She provided great daily updates and photos of our two cats while we were away. Jae is reliable and communicative and I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter.
