2. Caitlin O.


“We had an incredible experience with our Caitlin in checking in on our kitties! Not only was she consistently communicative, providing updates and photos that gave us peace of mind, but she also displayed remarkable flexibility in accommodating our schedule changes. Our kitties were clearly well-cared for and content upon our return. We highly recommend her services and appreciate the outstanding care she provided. Thank you for going above and beyond!”

5. Jamile G.

“Jamile was absolutely wonderful! My dog can be a bit standoff-ish to say the least. Within 20 mins of meeting, Jamile was able to get Millicent to come to her! I knew my dog was in more than capable hands. I would highly recommend Jamile. She is kind, thoughtful, and really cares about your pet.”


6. Marlene P.

“I was in a bind because I had to go on a work trip. So this was my first time having Marlene take care of my doggies. I am always reluctant to have new people in my home, taking care of my babies. But, after meeting her both I and my little guys felt comfortable. I returned to find my little guys very happy and well taken care of. While I was gone, she sent pictures each day. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Marlene and will be calling on her again in the future.”

Their dedication truly sets them apart in the pet care realm!”

14. Bethany B.
“Bethany was my neighbor and would take care of my little one when I was on vacation. I always knew she would send photos and update me, as well as ask me any questions she might have. It was great to know I had someone nearby who cared for him like I did (he has since passed away from old age). He would always get excited to see her because she brought hai favorite treats.”


15. Raymend T.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to tailor care to the specific needs of each pet. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and patience. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medications, monitoring for signs of health issues, and creating enriching environments to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. My organizational skills ensure that feeding schedules, grooming, and litter maintenance are handled with precision. Above all, I approach pet care with empathy and dedication, treating every animal as if they were my own. This commitment to providing individualized and loving care is what makes me stand out. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize meeting the needs of the animals in my care by maintaining a consistent schedule. Each day, I ensure pets are fed on time, their living spaces are clean, and they have fresh water. I also set aside time for interactive play and affection, as I understand the importance of mental and physical stimulation for their well-being. Weekly, I focus on deeper cleaning tasks, such as thoroughly sanitizing litter boxes, grooming, and checking for any signs of health issues. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets, and I’m very organized when it comes to keeping track of their needs, such as feeding schedules or medication routines if required. This structured approach ensures that pet care is not just a task but a natural and fulfilling part of my life. Pets require consistent care to ensure their health and happiness. This includes providing fresh food and water daily, a comfortable and cozy place to sleep, and engaging toys to stimulate their minds. A window view can also enhance their environment, offering enrichment and enjoyment. Additionally, it’s essential to take precautions against parasites by using preventative treatments as recommended by a veterinarian. Regular veterinary visits are crucial for monitoring their health, addressing any issues promptly, and keeping vaccinations up to date. For safety, pets should always wear an ID tag or be microchipped to ensure they can be identified and returned if lost.

About: Hi, I’m Christina! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide loving care for your pets in the mornings and early afternoons. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, I’m here to ensure your furry friends are happy and cared for while you’re away. I grew up in a cat household and have cared for cats for my whole life! I've also looked after dogs, including energetic breeds like huskies. Currently, I have two cats at home, one of whom knows how to "shake hands". I usually start my morning with gym or yoga and will be available afterward in the morning and afternoons, up until 5PM. Unfortunately, I'm unavailable on weekends! I have a dedicated spare rooms for cats, where they can feel safe and comfortable/ If the cats are confident and not scared, I allow them to explore and play around the house under supervision, giving them more space to roam and interact.


17. Amy W.
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for a range of pups, from playful puppies to wise seniors, through doggy daycare, house sitting, and daily walks. I’m currently the proud mother of a 100-lb, 6-year-old German Shepherd Mix who’s been with me since he was just a few months old. I love long strolls (on the sidewalk), epic games of tug-of-war, and fetch marathons. Meeting new doggie friends is always a highlight of my day. Who enjoys these activities more, me or the dog? We’ll find out! I work from home and will be available to care for your dog as requested. Please note any specific requests regarding your dog's preferred schedule. My dog is spoiled and has plenty of toys to share: feeding toys, edible chews, chew toys, fetch toys, tug toys, the works. I will follow your wishes on how you care for your dog and will send pictures and updates. I welcome the opportunity for you to visit us in advance to ensure you and your pet are comfortable in our home.


18. Hanicka S.
“Hanicka is a very loving animal person. Since she was young, she's always approached cats and dogs, excited to meet them. When she finally got her own dog (Saphi), she was patient with dog training, careful with food choices, cleaned the Saphi regularly and checked up with the vets asap if there was something wrong. She even brought home a senior dog (Sammy) that had been living in a factory for most of his life. Thanks to Hanicka, Sammy got to spend his last few years in a loving home with Saphi. I would highly recommend her for dog or cat sitting. She is very attentive and will do her best to take care of your loved ones.”


19. Alfonso C.

“Alfonso was responsive, reliable and empathetic throughout my trip. I felt safe leaving my furry friend in his hands. I would recommend his services easily!”


20. Rosa R.

“Rosa was amazing! She made my trip stress free and I’d highly recommend her. She’s very trustworthy and communicative. My dog was well taken care of :)”
