“Parisa was an absolute angel. Our beloved pet rabbit became sick while we were out of town, and she immediately stepped in to provide emergency care without hesitation. Her compassion, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals truly saved our little one’s life. We are forever grateful for what she did. she went above and beyond in every way imaginable. It’s rare to find someone as kind and dedicated as Parisa, and we can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She’s simply amazing”
“Emily was fantastic with my cat Neo! She went above and beyond during her visits, sent detailed updates and many great photos, and I could tell Neo was comfortable and well cared for. I’d happily book Emily again and highly recommend her!”
“Ingrid was exceptional - she clearly loves working with cats and treated our two like her own. She got to know our cats and their habits and looked after them accordingly; she even got some play time with our very very shy Francine! She has a comprehensive check list that she checks each time, and she sends detailed report cards with many photos. What’s more, she brought a little present for the cats too. I will definitely be booking Ingrid again - thank you so much for the special care you took of Sebastian and Francine!”
“Amanda is awesome! Since I relied on other people's reviews to find her, I want to be as elaborate as possible for anyone else - My cat is almost 5 years old, I've had her since she was a kitten and I've only been away from her for extended periods (more than a weekend) twice. She's pretty attached to me, has never really socialized with other people or animals and gets scared pretty easily, so I was pretty nervous to find a babysitter for her. Luckily, Amanda's quick communication and patience immediately put my mind at ease. She followed all care instructions (she always made sure the kitty had her favorite toys around), cleaned up small messes that the cat made and checked the self-cleaning litter box even more than expected. Plus, I received a package and Amanda went out of her way to bring it inside for me! Because my cat is so shy and doesn't come out to play or cuddle easily, I worried that a sitter would grow impatient or disinterested in her, but Amanda's reports each day were really upbeat and fun to read. She was right on time with every visit and quickly grew attuned to my cat's behavior, so I could relax knowing that my kitty was in good hands. I would highly recommend Amanda and will book her again in the future!”
“Julia was fantastic- very flexible, eager to help in any way, and clearly actually played with the cats and gave them affection. We felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d highly recommend Julia and will use her again any time we need a sitter.”
About: I love earning the trust of every animal, big or small, and I respect that every pet has their own unique personalities and quirks. I learn the unique behaviors of every pet and adapt in order to earn their trust. I have volunteered at a Humane Society for several years and have been the designated pet-sitter for friends and family members on numerous occasions. I can follow specific feeding guidelines for special diets. I can brush your pet and wipe their paws to ensure your home stays clean. I can do light cleaning like cleaning litter boxes or picking up doo-doo from the yard. I will take your dog on their favorite walking route and play with them until they are tired. I love all animals and I am proud a cat mom myself. I have the patience, energy, and compassion to be your trusted sitter for your beloved pet.
“Paula cared for my two cats while I was away for six nights. She was super responsible and flexible and sent many reassuring photos to let me know they were doing OK while I was traveling. :) Paula is so easy to communicate and I really appreciated her help! Definitely would hire again next time we're out of town.”

I have experience training puppies with potty time, pee pads, and tricks! Kittens with litter box training, and automatic litter box training as well.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life! I love caring for animals! And playing with them and giving them the love and pets they deserve! And I LOVE being outdoors and going for walks….especially with dogs!! My 3 kids are in school during the day and I am looking to dog-walk and care for animals in my free time. I am available from 9:30am until 2:30pm Monday through Thursdays. I will always make sure your animal is safe and cared for and happy! Walks can be high energy and exploratory, or calm and slow, depending on what makes your pet happiest. I keep a watchful eye always out on your pet making sure they never eat rocks, grass, or anything harmful. Your pet is my number one concern. I'll also make sure we get playtime too, as well as plenty of pets. I always believe in over communicating and providing updates and details as requested or desired. Detailed information on schedule, walks, meals, etc. definitely helps me know how to care for your pet best and make both you and your pet most comfortable Please don't hesitate to contact me.

“Donna and Stephen were awesome! They sent lots of pics and updates and took great care of my 3 kitties. I'll be booking with them the next time I need a cat sitter. 100% recommend!”
About: I have had a variety of pets and have cared for a variety of animals (dogs, cats, birds and a turtle). A variety of breeds and ages. I am available most weekdays after 4pm. I am available most Saturdays in the AM and PM. I also am available Sunday afternoons and evenings. I make sure my dog has plenty of food and fresh water throughout the day. I take her outside to go to the bathroom in the morning and right when I come home. I take her on a walk. I play and cuddle with her a lot.
“Andrew was fantastic with our cats, and knowing they were in such good hands really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We have a 1 year old and a 20+ year old, and he did a great job giving each what they needed, whether more play or more snuggle time. He sent us daily photos that showed how relaxed and at ease they were with him, and both seemed happy and confident when we arrived home. We plan to use Andrew again for all upcoming trips!”
About: Hello my name is Hannah! I have owned dogs my whole life along with a few cats. Their more my friends than humans haha, animals are loving no matter what, as long as you treat them well. I believe when you’ve been around animals so much it comes naturally when taking care for them. Not only have I owned my own animals I have also dog and cat sit for many friends and family along the way. All different kinds, shapes and sizes. Some with health issues as well, I can distribute medicine or boil some chicken. Whatever the little baby needs. You can trust me with your animal. I can walk, drop in for visits, or spend the night if needed. My hours are flexible. I hope to hear from you soon. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to focus on the animals I’m caring for. I’m reliable with check-ins, feedings, playtime, and any special care needs, and I’m happy to coordinate schedules that work best for you and your pet. m very mindful about safety and always follow instructions exactly as given, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. I respect routines, boundaries, and each animal’s comfort level. I keep environments calm, clean, and low-stress, and I communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing.
“There’s no doubt at all that I will be returning to Zach for future sitting services for my cat! He did a really great job of taking care of everything we asked, and then went above and beyond expectations. He gave us such thorough updates and sending pictures and videos. He is clearly a very thoughtful, caring person. This was especially highlighted with how he picked up on our biggest concerns for our cat and made sure to put our minds at ease through these updates and pictures. My cat really loved Zach pretty much immediately and I look forward to reaching out to him again. Thank you so much for absolutely everything, Zach! We are more than grateful!”
“Tiffany was able to take on a last minute requests after an emergency medical situation with our previous sitter. Great communication - making sure we are updated on our cat’e welfare and care. I’m glad we gave her a try - and so should you.”
“Mira did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat, Jane. If our schedules line up in the future I will definitely rebook her! She went above and beyond with the care she provided and I really appreciate her help.”
“Kristina was great with my cats, super caring and responsible! She was very understanding and good at her job! I would definitely choose her next time I need a sitter.”

This is our third year working with Ingrid! She is the most detail oriented, patient, loving person you can find to take care of your fur family members while you are on vacation. We went to Antarctica for 21 days and Ingrid is the reason we were able to fully enjoy the beauty of the scenery there without worrying about the health and happiness of our three cat babies.
Kaitlin was very caring and attentive to our indoor/outdoor cats! She was able to connect with them quickly- even our very shy female- and made sure they had all they needed. She is very responsive and reliable, providing regular updates and quick feedback to any questions.
As always, Puck took wonderful care of my cats. Their checkins were thoughtful and communicative, and I knew my girls were in the best hands. I knew exactly what happened during the visit, any concerns were thoroughly investigated, and they gave the girls so much love.
Crystal was great. We’ll definitely try to rebook her next time we travel. She took excellent care of our elderly cat, Patches who requires medication for hyperthyroidism. She was very pleasant and professional asking all the right questions when we met. It was very comforting to receive photos of their daily visits while we were out of the country. She even left Patches with some new toys after her final visit. We would recommend Crystal without reservation.
