“Yu-Hsuan did a wonderful job looking after my cat, Coco. She sent lots of pictures and completed everything I needed done while I was out of town. I felt very comforted knowing she was keeping Coco company.”

About: I know firsthand how much love, patience, and attention a cat needs, thanks to my three year old ragdoll Azul. Being a dedicated cat parent has taught me a lot about reading feline body language, managing different feeding routines, and recognizing when a kitty just needs quiet space versus a full-on play session. I offer drop-in visits. The basics are covered obviously: food, fresh water, and a spotless litter box. I also put great effort into ensuring your cat is entertained (and exercised). You can expect a solid update and lots of fun photos after every single visit. I really enjoy sharing those great moments so you always know your cat is safe, relaxed, and doing well while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend! I arrange my week to ensure I have plenty of time available for visits, particularly during off-hours and evenings, and I have open availability on weekends for maximum flexibility. I only offer drop-in visits. My care goes beyond the basics—I focus on providing appropriate play or quiet time, and sending you great updates (with photos!) so you're never left wondering how they're doing.
“Jaron was great! He was amazing with my fairly shy cat and got him comfortable pretty much immediately. He was also super communicative and gave me good updates and photos.”

“Caroline was a lifesaver! The thought of leaving our kitty at home with a stranger for 16 days was nerve-wracking, to say the least! Thankfully, we found Caroline, and she took the anxiety out of the equation. She took care to follow out instructions and maintain Tatsu's kitty routine with minimal disruption. In addition, Caroline gave regular updates and communicated in detail about how things were going. It was clear from her communication that Tatsu had settled in well with her new caregiver. When we returned home, we found a healthy and content little cat and a spotless home. We are deeply grateful for Caroline's cat sitting and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

About: Hi, I am Shao, a full time sitter , your pet’s temporary best friend. I provide reliable, loving pet care with a healthy dose of humor and a lot of homemade treats (approved by you, of course). I’ve cared for dogs who think they’re lap-sized, cats who think I don’t exist, and pets who need meds, patience, or extra snuggles. I believe in sticking to routines, sending lots of photo updates, and making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Walks are tailored, playtime is enthusiastic, and naps are mandatory—for both of us. Your pet will be well-cared-for, well-loved, and possibly convinced I’m part of the family. In 2013, our family was adopted by a 3-month-old Pomeranian puppy who quickly became the center of our world. We shared ten joyful years filled with laughter, cuddles, and plenty of unforgettable moments. He truly brightened our lives, and I loved him more than anything. Though we said goodbye in 2023, I know he lived a full, happy life—and he left me with a lifelong love for dogs and a lot of practice spoiling them. I live just three blocks from a wonderful park featuring a gated basketball court, a kids’ playground, and a wide open grassy field that’s perfect for walks, playtime, and serious sniffing adventures. Your pup will have plenty of space to stretch their legs, explore, and enjoy the outdoors—while being cared for with patience, affection, and a whole lot of heart. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love helping you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to establish a long term relationship with you whenever you need some extra support. I promise to love your furry friends as my own. My goal is to make their stay fun, safe, and stress-free. Your pet will be safe, loved, and slightly spoiled. Because I am a full time pet sitter, pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I start the morning with potty breaks and a walk, then plan my day around each pet’s needs—feeding times, playtime, enrichment activities, and cuddles. I’m home often, so pets get consistent supervision and companionship. Weekends are also free for longer walks, or more outdoor time. I have a fenced yard and plenty of indoor running space. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable space. I’m attentive, follow routines closely, and always prioritize safety on walks and at home.
“Emiliano is very professional, friendly and easy to work with. My pup loves having out with him. It brings us a lot of peace of mind leaving our puppy with him. Highly recommend.”

“Sarah is amazing! We needed a sitter for our 5 month old kitten and we were very nervous about using a sitter we didn’t know. Once we met Sarah we knew she’d be perfect. She is incredibly nice and an obvious animal lover. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. We will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Sarah! We couldn’t have enjoyed our trip without your help with Gabby!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized approach and genuine love for animals. Having spent two years caring for coworkers’ dogs, I’ve developed a strong ability to understand each dog's unique personality, needs, and routines. I don’t just watch over pets—I build a bond with them, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Additionally, my experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments has made me adaptable and attentive. I prioritize clear communication with owners, providing updates, photos, and ensuring peace of mind. Reliability, patience, and a commitment to top-quality pet care make me stand out in a field where trust is everything. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly because I prioritize it as a natural part of my day. I plan my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Since I’ve been caring for coworkers’ dogs for the past two years, I’m experienced in balancing pet care with other responsibilities while ensuring that every dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment by maintaining their regular routines, offering plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I ensure they have food and water, a cozy resting area, and follow any special care instructions from their owners. Safety and companionship are my top priorities.
About: I’ve cared for many different breeds over the years, including Shiba Inus, Golden Retrievers, Bulldogs, and Corgis, and I adjust easily to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m also a devoted cat lover, and I treat every pet with the same attention and gentleness I give my own. I pay close attention to comfort, safety, and routines, and I always put the pet’s needs first. Since I’m home all day, I’m able to give steady care, companionship, and quick responses whenever they need something. Pets in my care get real presence, affection, and a calm environment where they can relax. I’m working from home full-time, so pet care blends naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give constant attention, playtime, feeding on schedule, and quick responses to anything your pet needs. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I make sure their day feels calm, safe, and predictable. I care for pets the same way I care for my own: gently, patiently, and with their comfort always first. I pay close attention to routines, food instructions, and safety details, whether I’m in my home or yours. I keep the environment clean, quiet, and stress-free, and I’m always nearby to supervise, soothe, and make sure your pet feels secure and understood.

Raising my own puppy, I’m really great with keeping up with all their adventures and needs.

I make sure my home is pet-friendly by keeping hazardous items out of reach, maintaining a super clean space, and offering cozy spots for relaxation. I like to keep a close eye on the pets, always knowing what they’re up to and making sure they’re safe and happy. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I respect their space and maintain their routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.

“Amazing cat sitter!!! Aimi was very careful following my instructions and if smth wasn’t clear enough, she immediately asked me😃 She would take multiple videos of her playing with my fur balls and feeding them treats, it was Adorable 😊 She definitely went above and beyond: most sitters don’t wash pets’ bowls after they finish eating and don’t vacuum the whole floor around the litter box☺️ I couldn’t have done it better myself! Highly recommend 💛”

Kahren was amazing with our little cat Squid! She sent great updates while we were away, and you could tell Squid was super comfortable with her. Kahren is professional, reliable, and just easy to work with. She's definitely our sitter from now on, I highly recommend!

Sandra was absolutely wonderful with Momo! She is incredibly warm, proactive, and detail-oriented, providing daily updates that made us feel so at ease while we were away. Her flexibility and thoughtful communication truly set her apart, and it's clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her!

Josie(Ka) was really easy to communicate and kind to take care of our indoor cat and outdoor cat. She not only just did the regular routine but tried to play with our cat with his favorite treat catching game. We can see our cat got along with Josie after a few visits and started anticipating Josie’s visit. We will definitely book again with Josie next time.

Yu-Hsuan was a great sitter for our two cats! She is very thorough and took many pictures to share with us while we were away. I appreciate her care and attention to detail. Both cats liked her a lot 😊 We got stuck while traveling and she was able to be flexible and drop in an additional time at the last second. Thank you again Yu-Hsuan!

Savannah took care of my cat Chibi for 2 days while I was away. Chibi seems to enjoy her company a lot when she visited—she played with her and seems very affectionate with her as well which is so nice and assuring for me since I know my fur baby is in good hands. I highly recommend Savannah :)

Jen continues to go above and beyond for Cloak. She's attentive, thoughtful, and shows so much love to him, and she's been a great communicator and very flexible with us. We've been able to take longer trips away thanks to her, and our normally anxious boy is so calm and normal when we get home now. When our plans have changed last minute, or when we have new needs and requests as our boy ages, Jen has been a joy to work with. Highly recommended!!

Tessa is very intuitive around animals! She spent time with my cats during a initial introduction and ably engaged even my more introverted and skittish cat. She was prompt and diligent during her visits and with communication. I appreciated her service and am so grateful she was able to care for them while I was out of town. 10/10 :)

Anna was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our three cats, making sure each one got the attention they needed. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and daily updates that gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
