“This was my first time having Grace watch my male cat while I was out of town on a trip. I was very anxious about leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time, but it went very well. Grace was very communicative and shared multiple photos of, and updates about, her visits. This helped to reduce my anxiety, and I am sure my cat's as well. I will definitely book her again!”
“Alexa was wonderfully responsive and attentive. I always knew when she was on her way, we met virtually before her first visit, she followed the care check-list daily and always sent photos. Highly recommend.”

About: I have 3 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well as two years experience working at a pet hotel before beginning work as a pet sitter. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. Prior training classes have taught me how to interact with pets that may be a bit timid, or shy with new individuals. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! I am also an artist. In my spare time, I love to work on art projects! Trying to become a full time pet sitter!

My experience with animals is personal and professional. I have helped house sit and pet sit for my family's and friends clients for the last 3 years. I took care of pets that could not hear, were blind and as well as complete healthy and happy ones. My personal experience with animal's dates back to early childhood. My first pets was a lab and dachshund mix, bearded dragon, two chickens and a rooster. As I got older I adopted snakes, birds, deer, fish and rats, you name it I had. Currently I have a female tabby cat named Athena, a bearded dragon and also female, whose name is toby, and a tank of fish. I love animals small and large, different species... I enjoy spending time with all.

“Star did a great job watching Kota while we were gone. She was friendly, on-time, quick to reply, and Kota enjoyed having her stop by. She sent lots of pictures of Kota and took time to hang out and play with the cat toys while she was here. She sent us pictures of the food she provided to Kota so we could make sure she was getting what she needed. We would recommend Star and likely rebook for any trips we have coming up in the future.”
“Georgia was so amazing with our kitties! We never leave town for as long as our trip was and I had so much anxiety about leaving our babies for so long but she did a wonderful job and made sure to take excellent care of them and their needs”
“Cassidy was PHENOMENAL. She met up with me before the booking to meet my cat, and was professional and on time. Her drop ins were consistent, and from the photos I could easily tell his food and water were good and that my cat liked her. He was pretty calm (other than us usual "where have you been" yowl) when I came home, so I know he got more than enough attention while she was there. I will definitely book Cassidy again.”

Cassidy was a great pet sitter for our cats and dog even though our dog presented with a high amount of anxiety being around someone new while we were out of town. Cassidy remained patient and flexible as we had to modify some of our dog's care while she was doing her check-ins. Cassidy was reliable with the agreed upon check-ins and posted updates accordingly. She was also quick to respond when we had any questions. Even though my dog's behavior was challenging due to his anxiety, Cassidy took the time to try to get to know him and help him feel comfortable around her. I would recommend Cassidy to others.
I was unable to get my original sitter for my fur babies but I was able to find Moira. She was very attentive and responded quickly to my request. She came by to do a drop in and introduced herself to my husband and myself. She asked all important questions and got to meet my cats. I did send her a list of things and she completed them all. My cats were left in great hands with her and she did treat my cats as if they were her own. For that I am very grateful for. I’m glad to say that I will definitely be using her in the future anytime we are needing her. Thank you so much, Moira ☺️
Mia was amazing with my two boys! She was attentive and made sure I was reassured they were happy and heathy while I was away. One of my cats had a prior issue with a urine blockage and Mia went so far as to provide me with updates about how often he was using his litter box, etc. The level of care made me feel comfortable and at ease leaving them, which is always difficult, but thanks to Mia I was able to relax and enjoy time away with family.
