Paulina is a great cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to meet us and our cat before we hired her. She is reliable and gave our cat plenty of attention while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Paulina!

Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.

Kim took such good care of my cat while I was away for a few days. She was very attentive and made sure she had all the details before booking. My cat seemed very happy and content when I came back which tells me that he felt well taken care of in my absence.

Holly ended up being the perfect match to care for my cat while I was away for the weekend! Communication was great and she is the only person I know that my cat immediately warmed up to! He tends to be shy and it usually takes him some time to get comfortable with new people but he seemed to enjoy her company from the first time she walked in the door! I highly recommend Holly and absolutely plan on using her services anytime I plan to be away! I can tell she cared for my fur baby just as much as she cares for her own which helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him with someone new!

Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.

Kelly was awesome! She came to visit my needy cat while I was on a trip. She is very communicative and was more than happy to set up the auto feeder. She sent photos and videos and kept me updated. Will book again!

Michelle is amazing with our three senior dogs. One is deaf, one is stubborn, and one is very excitable, so it’s definitely not an easy group to manage. She handled them all with patience and care, and after her first visit we felt completely comfortable.

About: I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes. I am also currently a certified professional dog trainer. Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.

Eko and Sarah are so nice to work with: prompt, responsive, friendly. They did a great job taking care of my two cats, making sure they met their different dietary and supplement needs. They even got friendly with my shyer boy, who tends to hide when new people are around. I couldn't be happier.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Now I have 2 cats of my own which I adore. I love getting outside for walks any time of day and can do as long as your dog wants to! We just moved and I will not be working until a spot in daycare opens for my son. I can do daily drop-in’s and walks any day of the week. I will treat your home the way I would want a guest to treat mine and I will care for your pet like they are my own!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Maya for a meet-and-greet, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. My dog took to them right away (and she’s a very anxious goldendoodle), which speaks volumes about their approach and care. I’m confident that my pup will be in great hands during their walks. She even sent me pictures & updated me on her walk. Highly recommend Maya!!!!!!!

About: Growing up, my family had around 6 dogs that I learned to care for quickly. Outside of that, I’ve dog sat for neighbors and extended relatives frequently. I’m especially a pro with senior dogs who need a little extra help. The needs of your dog come before anything else. All the basics (food, water, potty, and play) are my priority, but I also highly value all the little things that make your dog special. It may be that they’re a big dog with a lot of energy who needs long walks and park play time; you may have a small dog who likes a short trot around the block and cuddles. I want to get you know your animals and care for them the best I can. As a part time worker and part time student, my hours vary, but there is always time for pups and kitties! I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the evening and all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. In my experience with dogs, I’ve taken them on regular daily or every other day walks. Additionally, I have a fenced in yard they play in. With cats, I’ve always kept my indoors. As for both animals, I’m attentive with feeding, always making sure the animals are on a schedule that them.

Tessa checked in on my 16-year-old kitties for a week. She is kind, responsive, flexible, and a true animal-lover. It was evident in all of the visit photos that the cats were being well-loved and having a great time playing and getting pats! Tessa even went above and beyond by leaving our home spotless after some kitty pukey incidents! Lol. We could not be more pleased with the care she provided!!

Michelle was awesome! We were very satisfied the care and attention that Michelle showed to our 3 cats while we were away. One of our cats is almost 18 and has health problems and we were worried about leaving him. In addition to feeding and cleaning litter boxes, Michelle gave our elderly cat medication, cleaned up all manner of messes every day, and also gave all the cats treats and affection. The reports and pictures she sent gave us peace of mind while we were away, and we felt our cats were in good hands. We highly recommend Michelle!

Jen is a responsible and responsive cat sitter. She takes good care of the cats and always makes time to play with them. She provides me with feedback about their eating and play behaviors, reassuring me that she took time to interact with them. The photos she sents show relaxed and interactive kitties. This is the second time we used her services and we have already booked her for a next time. We highly recommend Jen as a cat sitter.

Tara was amazing! She came to my home to care for my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She followed all of my instructions carefully and kept in touch with updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. When I got back, both cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I can tell they really liked her! I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely book her again in the future.
