About: Animal lover with flexible schedule, calm and patient energy. I'm very active so available for long walks or runs! Always attentive to details and specifics for each pet in my care. I'm a full-time creative (painter and graphic designer), so I enjoy setting my own schedule and can easily accommodate to your pet's needs during various times of day. I can work remotely and this allows me to be available more often. I am comfortable learning each pet's needs in their home environments, and adjusting to what makes them feel most comfortable. Happy to come to you so that your pet can experience their typical daily routines.
“Annie took the most thoughtful care of our two cats while we were away. Both have more needs than the average kitty (one senior, and one with diabetes that requires blood sugar checks and insulin) - meaning that my husband and I have not been able to leave home together or take a trip in a long, long time. Annie was able to manage all of their complexities & medications, and gave them plenty of love and attention. She had our older, *pickier* cat snuggling by the second visit. :) Also sent us the sweetest pictures and updates from every drop-in! In a nutshell, she made our cats comfortable and kept them safe, which gave us the peace of mind we needed to leave. Annie is a very skilled, lovely person and we are SO grateful to her!!”
“I definitely recommend Catey, particularly if your quadrupedal babes tend toward anxiety or need confident medication administration. This is the first sitter I've ever hired who wasn't already familiar with my cats and our home. I was nervous because of my boys needs medicated eye drops every 12 hours, which isn't his favorite thing by far, and he also generally takes a while to get comfortable with new people. Catey's super calm and solid demeanor was evident from the get-go, and this helped my boy a lot. Meds went off without a problem. Everything that needed doing for both cats was done, and my boys were chill as can be when I returned home. Catey was also super communicative and seemed like a solid, kind person in general. I couldn't ask for more from a sitter!”
“Emily was a great cat sitter while I was away. She was communicative, sent photos, and even washed my cat’s dish without being asked. She also handled a tricky building access issue with no fuss, which I really appreciated. I felt totally at ease and my cat seemed to warm up to her right away. Would definitely book her again!”

Rose was purrfect..she really helped me out in a bind when I wanted to go see a sick relative on short notice. I haven't used a service before. She sent regular pictures of Ginger eating and enjoying herself. I wasn't thinking much about it being the 4th of July..a holiday..so there were extra charges..Just a heads up...
Barbara took extra special care of my senior guys, Wally (dog) and Ocho (cat). She was dependable, trustworthy and caring. When Wally had a problem navigating the outside stairs, she went above and beyond to figure out a solution. She was so kind to my animals and they really loved being with her. I was greeted by two happy, healthy and well-cared for guys upon my return from a 10 day trip. She is a true animal lover!
