“Deli was wonderful!! She was so in-tune with my shy kitty, watched her closely for issues, and adjusted the schedule to accommodate my cat’s needs. Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer was great with my cats, was even able to lure out the shy ones each visit. She was easy to communicate with and I loved the pictures she shared of the cats. I will definitely request her again!”
“Xiomara has done an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we're away and sent the cutest pictures during each visit. She even immediately filled in and helped me when we figured out I messed up scheduling her visits during our vacation. Our cats love her; she's fantastic and attentive.”
“Lilian was great. Adequately executed her role with my babies. I cannot believe Leo came out from hiding lol Highly recommended. Thanks so much Lilian. Will use again 🙏🏼”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She took great care of them and followed our very detailed feeding instructions. She gave daily updates and was easy to get in touch with. She also brought packages in and let us know when we had a leak in our wall/ceiling. Thank you for everything, Bianca!”
“Lovely working with Catherine! Will definitely hire her again and again. She’s reliable, easy to coordinate with. Flexible. Great experience and thank you Catherine!”
“Anya is a cat whisperer! Our boy is very shy around strangers and he went right up to her like he’s known her for years. She was attentive and provided such great pics and notes. We will without a doubt be using her again, and you should, too!”
“Barbara did a great job caring for our cat when we went away for the weekend. Our cat was a little aggressive towards the last pet sitter we used, so we were happy that our cat had a better reaction towards Barbara. She let us know each time she was on her way to our house, and followed all the care instructions we left. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Went extremely above and beyond this time. Consistently went out of her way to help during multiple complications and everything. If i could I would give an even higher review. Absolutely incredible!!”
“Anthony was very friendly and reliable, came to feed our cat and spend time with her every day he was booked for and shared nice pictures of him sitting with her or petting her. I’d definitely book him again!”
“Alissa was so great with my cat, and so attentive and responsive! I highly recommend her!! I got to relax while I was away and came back to a happy kitty 🫶”
“Jon is great! He came for a meet and greet before letting my dogs out and kept me in the loop while he was over with my dogs. Definitely booking him again!”
“10/10 I’d trust Stephanie to look after my kids and I don’t even have kids. I think my two bunnies preferred their vacation at Stephanie’s house over normal home time with me. I was sent daily photos and videos of my little buns which was AWESOME. Your pet definitely will not ever be forgotten if you board with Stephanie. When we came to pickup, they already put the bunnies in their carrier, washed the food bowls, and cleaned and packed up their stuff which was totally unexpected but very appreciated.”
“Shirley was a great sitter for my two cats. She is quick to respond via messages, provided thorough updates while we were away, and most importantly took great care of my cats!”
“Grace is great! She loved neko. And she is very responsible :)”
“Linda is very reliable and great with caring for cats!”
About: Dog owner to one 8YO male German Shepherd lab mix and one 2YO female Staffordshire Bull terrier mix! These two keep me on my toes I work a full-time remote job, so I am free to tend to my dogs during the day! We go on plenty of looooong walks so mama can stretch her legs too! I am happy to assist with those who need a sitter for their precious pups during your weddings as well! I have a large condo with a back den that we can close off (it’s filled with plants and cozy chairs as a zen zone). I also have plenty of dog toys and a spare bed if necessary! My two dogs are very friendly and will refuse to stop playing!
“Anna sent plenty of photos and was super thorough and communicative throughout the stay. Our kitties really warmed up to her, and we’re so grateful!”
“Barbara is a wonderful kitty sitter! She took great care of my Grizzly and showed up morning and evening to give him food and love! Will definitely have her back!”
“Nicole was amazing! Was very flexible to my many requests & Jinx loved spending time with her. Also a great & quick communicator. I was very grateful for her love & care for Jinx in my absence.”
