I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!

Caroline treated our girls so well. 2 weeks was a big ask and she was so communicative and caring we never worried our girls were in good hands. We came home to happy, healthy kitties and are so grateful. Would not hesitate to work with her again. Thank you Caroline!

I highly recommend Rhiana!! Her communication was great and I could tell through photos that my pet really enjoyed time with her. I appreciated this, as she immediately eased any worry I might’ve had leaving him for the first time on extended vacation. Would definitely book her again!

Emily is the BEST! This was my first time using Rover and Emily popped up first. Which I’m so happy I clicked on her. She has helped me learn more about my Lucy. I can’t wait to book again!

Danielle took care of our cat, Theo, for a week and she was genuinely the best cat sitter we could’ve asked for. She was super responsive, always kept us in the loop, and showed up exactly when she said she would. Theo’s litter box was spotless every day, she even cleaned up his vomit incident, made sure he got his treats, and most importantly, spent real time with him and gave him so much love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We’d absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.

Loved having Tessa check on my cat! She seems like such a lovely person and provided awesome updates on my cat which gave me great peace of mind. My cat seemed to love her, which was great because my cat can be a bit skittish with strangers. Tessa was great with communication and flexibility! Would definitely book again. Thanks again, Tessa!

About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.

Hannah did an absolute stellar job. Of course she is almost overly qualified, and I had no reservations of leaving my cat in her care. She was very responsive and flexible, which made it so much easier! Can’t recommend enough.

Amy was quick to respond and was available when I made my request at the last minute. This is the second time Amy has watched my cats and I will happily ask her to cat sit again.
