“We've had Sammy watch our cats multiple times now, and she is wonderful. We receive lots of photos/videos, our cats get plenty of playtime and attention, and we are able to enjoy our time away without worrying. One of our cats requires a pill twice a day, and Sammy always makes sure to confirm that she gave it, which I really appreciate. We highly recommend Sammy for your pet watching needs!”
“Monica was great! She was super accommodating to accept my last minute booking for my kitty Lulu. She came over to meet her and sent updates and photos during her check ins. Would definitely book again. Thanks Monica!”
“We (my cat Coqui and I) love Laxmi!! She stayed in my apartment with my shy cat for four days. Laxmi quickly earned her trust and they became pals! She sent me regular updates on food, play, litter, and how Coqui was feeling overall. Laxmi's updates helped me feel relaxed while I was away! We look forward to having her watch Coqui again!”
“Eryn was the perfect vacation sitter. Very responsive, friendly, timely, provided lots of pictures, and buddied up to our very shy cat. Couldn’t have asked for better service while we were away.”
“Sylvia is so sweet and accommodating! You can really tell she loves animals! Our cats are so shy, but Sylvia took the time and patience to make them feel comfortable and safe ❤️ by the end of her stay she already became their best friends! She is very responsive and provides lots of photos. I highly recommend her!”
“So happy that we Charles was able to watch our babies! He was very communicative which we appreciated while being so far away from home. Will definitely have him watch our cats again if he’s available.”
“Amy was a fantastic sitter! She watched my cat and gave me daily updates and pics - my cat is shy but she took a shine to Amy very quickly. I can tell that Amy is a cat person and would not hesitate to hire her again. Highly recommend her.”
“Samantha was simply incredible. She's a cat person through-and-through. She dropped by for daily visits for about a week and always left great videos and photos. Both of our cats have quirks, including picky eating habits, diabetes, and occasionally peeing outside their litter box. But Samantha wasn't phased by any of it. Our cats can be standoffish, but it was obvious that Samantha made them feel comfortable. I will absolutely be contacting her in the future to take care of our cats, and I recommend you do, too!”
“I'm very happy that I asked Anita to take care of my cat this time. My cat seemed relaxed and well during my time away, so I'm considering asking her again next time. Thank you very much, Anita!!”

“Tami was an excellent cat sitter, she dropped in to take care of my cat while I was out of town for 3 days. She gave her many pets, ensured the feeder and litterbox were working, and played with her. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kelly is wonderful with my cats! She always sends photo updates and I came home to a nice and tidy house. She goes above and beyond to communicate and gives me peace of mind while I’m traveling.”
About: I’m a cat mom to a needy orange tabby. I also had a bunny for many years. I will help your fur baby feel all the love on your behalf! I have flexible schedule over the weekend and when I work from home. Drop in visits in the evening will work perfectly for me too. I will wear shoe coverage when entering your home, carry out all the chores first and then dedicating the rest of my time to play with your fur baby. I will make sure to take care of them like how I want my own cat to be treated by another sitter <3
About: Spending time outdoors with dogs is my true joy. I love every moment of play and adventure, creating unforgettable memories with my furry companions. They bring so much happiness. Having recently relocated to the San Francisco, I'm in the process of settling in and searching for a job in my field. In the meantime, I find myself exploring the city on foot every day. I'd be delighted to have the company of your furry friend on my daily walks. I think that is very important to be patient with pets, observe their behavior and help them understand what you want from them, same thing for walking.
“Sabrina was very responsive, has a lot of experience with cats and was very prompt in sending us pictures and keeping us updated while we were out of town.”
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter for my tabby cat! She was super communicative which made me feel reassured on my trip away from my cat. Melissa also send photos and detailed updates—would definitely recommend Melissa!”

She cares for pets as if they were her own children, giving them all the affection and attention they deserve. On top of that, she’s wonderfully detail-oriented, she even keeps track of their calories to ensure they’re getting the perfect balance of nutrients. There’s no one I would trust more to look after my pet!”
Valeria D.
“Valeria has taken care of my cats multiple times while I’ve been away on vacation, and I couldn’t recommend her more!

As always, Diana was the best sitter I could have asked for! I believe this is the 5th or 6th time I’ve re-booked with her now, and she always goes above and beyond. I am so thankful to have found a trustworthy and reliable sitter who I can always count on whether it’s for a drop in visit, or for a longer stay. I cannot recommend her enough!
Anita was great. Very communicative, kind, and consistent. It’s clear that my cats were well cared for during my time away. It’s so special to feel like you don’t have to worry about your pet babies while you’re away, and Anita made that possible. Will definitely hire her again, and highly recommend her to anyone.
Cailan was awesome! We were so lucky to have her taking care of our kitties while we were away, including one that needed medication. She was reliable and thorough and communicated well about anything that came up. We'll definitely book with her again if we need kitty coverage.
Elise was so wonderful with our boys, allowing us to fully relax into our vacation. She sent updates and the sweetest photos daily. Most importantly the cats loved her company as she would give them focused attention, play time, pets and treats. Thank you Elise!
