“Jungmin did an amazing job taking care of Bobo and our home while we were away! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive to Bobo’s needs. She went above and beyond by helping clean and vacuum the apartment and spending extra time making sure Bobo was comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bobo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of available time to spend with any pet in need. I cherish the love of all furry friends! * I offer daytime house-sitting which allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pet without overnight stay for personal reasons.

Christina is such a wonderful pet sitter! She has been so caring and patient with our two cats. One of our cats needs multiple medicines and the other is quite shy and she has worked to get both to love her! All the while she’s been communicative, caring, and gone the extra mile. Christina is great and I can’t sing her praises enough!
Andrew was awesome. He took care of our 2 cats every day and on-time. He provided updates and several pictures of how our cats were doing. This really helped us enjoy our vacation without worrying too much and one of our cats is just 4 months old. He did a great job.
Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!
Christine was fantastic taking care of Minino while we were away! She came by daily to feed him and always sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, attentive cat sitter.
Mya was truly a blessing and the perfect kitty sitter! She was extremely attentive and loving to my two little spoiled cats. She was always on time and spent a lot of quality time with them. They were instantly in love with and felt super comfortable with her. I was away for work at my new job and wanted to fully committed without worrying. She sent many cute pictures and just went above and beyond. Hire her! But not when I need her 😅 (jk) you won’t regret it. ♥️
