“Nicole was AWESOME! She did an amazing job caring for our cats and especially with our senior cat that needing medicating. Highly recommend and will absolutely use her again!”
“Katie did a fine job keeping our cat loved, fed, watered, and addressing his other needs. Her visits were always prompt and accompanied with a photo. My sense is that she's more experienced and comfortable with dogs but she quickly earned our cat's attention and confidence while we traveled.”
“Michele did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She alerted me to a house issue and made a special last minute trip to help. I really appreciate her responsiveness and going above and beyond!”
“Joey has been fantastic. I left for a 3 week trip and she has stopped in twice a day to check up and hang out with my cat (Peaches). She goes the extra mile. Keeping me updated on how Peaches has been doing. Cleaning up any accidents outside the litter box. Taking the garbage out and bringing it up from the driveway on garbage day. She also brought in any packages left at our door. If I need a sitter in the future she will be the first I go to. I highly recommend considering Joey if you’re looking for a sitter you can count on!”
“Adelaide was wonderful to work with! She cared so well for our cats and provided great feedback and pictures from her drop-in visits. She paid attention to detail, communicated well and was a top notch pet sitter! We’ll definitely book her pet sitting services again!”

“I’m so grateful for Jenny accepting a last minute booking request to watch our cat while we were away! She took such great care of Bynx, sent daily updates and photos, and brought in our packages. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! We will definitely be reaching out again next time we’re away!”
“Patricia did a WONDERFUL job looking after my kitties while i was on vacation for a week! I was so excited to get so many daily pics and updates to see how they were doing. You can tell she really cares and gave them all the love i was hoping for:) I will definitely be booking with her again for my future needs! She rocks!”
About: I have cared for animals all my life! Cats and dogs have a special place in my heart and I am patient and gentle. I have cared for kittens and senior cats as well as a dog with a traumatic upbringing. I work full time and am able to care for your pet family after 5 pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I am a natural early riser and am comfortable taking early morning walks. Weekends are open for overnight or frequent visits. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am comfortable safely harnessing and waking dogs. I am mindful of dog etiquette while walking and encountering other dogs.
“I have a very timid stray cat who runs from evryone who comes into the house. Not with Jennifer! My kitty came our and cautiously walked over to her and let her give Shadow a quick touch to the nose. Jennifer came twice daily and reported promptly giving me peace of mind. Jennifer will be back next week while I'm gone for a few days again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Brittany was wonderful with our 3 cats when we were out of town for 10 days! Our cats required twice daily visits due to medical needs and she was there twice a day all 10 days! Our most timid cat, even showed her the most affection she’s ever shown a cat sitter. Will definitely be reaching out to Brittany when we next need a cat sitter!!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”
“Ashly was great with my four boys and sought them out to give them some love while she was here. The photos were lovely and I could tell they felt comfort with her. I’ve already hired her for my next work trip.”
“Ava is wonderful! We’ve now used her for house sitting with and drop-in visits with our dog. Her communication is excellent, she is extremely quick to respond, very responsible and out dog loves her! Highly recommend! :)”
“Alyssa was so great with our kitty Marceline! She responded very quickly when I first reached out, and our kitty was comfortable with her right away. She had great attention to detail and was very pleasant to work with. I could tell from the pictures each day that our kitty was very happy with her! We would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future!”
“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter! I hate to even call her that - she's your pets best friend when you're out of town. She's attentive, follows complicated directions flawlessly, and truly loves and cares for your animals like they're your own. She even accommodated a last minute personal emergency with grace. Thank you Ashley, I can't wait to work together in the future. Sushi and Bamboo already miss your playtimes!”

Alexa does a wonderful job with my senior cat when we're out of town including giving a pill. She leaves helpful notes from the visits that help reassure us that our pet is in good hands. Plus we love the care she puts into a variety of pictures. Definitely recommend!
Taite was so wonderful with my boy Thor! My first time using a service like this and she was very friendly, professional and provided good photos and information for us while we were on vacation. Will absolutely use her again if I find myself in need of a pet sitter!
