About: I have had cats since I was 5 and now have 3. I volunteer at a ferret rescue, so I specialize in ferrets and cats! I often cat sit for my neighbors across the street. Note: I don't have much experience with dogs. I am in college but am currently not taking in-person classes. However, that will change in several months. I can come pretty much any time on weekdays but it's limited on weekends. On Saturdays I'm at the ferret rescue, but can come after 1:30. I regularly scoop and change my cats' litter boxes and play with them. If you give me a detailed set of instructions via text or a sheet of paper, I will make sure to complete the tasks with care. Please be open to follow up questions as I do not know the layout of your home.

“Mikayla was a great cat-sitter. She showed up every morning and evening on time and as planned and sent updates on a daily basis and we were gone for 7 days! Will definitely book again when we need someone to look after our kitty!”
“Brelynn saved my trip! It couldn’t have been more last minute and Brelynn responded promptly and took amazing care of my kitties. Communication was perfect and the reports put me at ease. So grateful for Brelynn, I’d recommend highly!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and know how to take care of them. I’ve had a dog of of my own until he passed away recently. So it’s safe to say I know what I’m doing. I work currently from Sunday to Tuesday so from Wednesday to Saturday I’m available to take care of your pets in whatever need they may have. I am unable to care for your pets at my home since my apartment doesn’t allow pets. Thank you for understanding. However I’m willing and able to care for them at your home.

Alex was exceptional with caring for my dog, Beren! She was super communicative throughout the process. Sent great updates and photos each day. And most importantly, it was clear from our first meeting that Beren naturally liked her and was excited to see her. He normally has trouble eating for the first couple days when I am away, but he felt comfortable and safe enough with Alex that it didn't affect his appetite at all. Will definitely use her services going forward!
Kim was an outstanding pet sitter for our Maine Coon. She developed a real bond with kitty and has a genuine affection for cats :) In addition, she warned us about a storm leak in the basement, which was above and beyond. Our cat was calm and happy when we returned after 2 weeks. Highly recommend.
Alexandra looked after our two cats while we were traveling. She came twice a day to feed them, clean the litter box, and hang out with them. Alexandra took excellent care of the cats and kept us well informed. We love her photos from each visit to see how the two are doing.
Karrah did an amazing job with Comet and Victoria! She communicated in detail with each visit, and was able to problem solve when needed. Comet absolutely loved the attention and care Karrah provided, which could be seen in his photos. Victoria was not as appreciative of her care, but Karrah did everything possible to make her comfortable. I will absolutely reach out to Karrah again in the future to see if she would like to work together again!
Allison was a wonderful cat sitter! She was so communicative, kind, and great with my cat! From all the photos and reports she sent while she was catsitting, I could tell that my cat was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to other pet owners!
Sarah was amazing! She provided great feedback every day, and super helpful messages. It helped a lot for us to have someone like Sarah taking care of Frankie and Fred while we were out of the country, it really let us enjoy our time away without having to worry about them.
Nakia is such a caring a thoughtful sitter. You can tell they really loves pets and will make them feel loved and taken care of. Nakia not only brings a positive attitude to bookings, but she also brings her own collection of toys and enrichment activities to ensure your pet is getting the most out of the experience. We were so lucky to find Nakia!
