“Joseiris is the best sitter I've had on Rover! She's always my first choice, she really cares about my kitties and she pays such close attention to detail. Even my shy kitty has warmed up to her in a way he never has with any other sitter. I always know my fur babies are in good hands with her!”

“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”

“I instantly felt like my kitties were in good hands! Kaitlen was very accommodating and super sweet with my cats. Great sitter! Definitely will recommend and ask again in the future! 😃”

“Excellent service. Reliable and understanding and quick responses to any questions. We felt very confident when we were away that our 2 cats were under great care with Eryn. She is a very sweet person!”
“We will always appreciate the time Adam takes out of his day to look in on our two cats. It's as if he loves them as his own. It's the best kitty updates while we are away.”

About: Animals enjoy my dog and I's company. Come unsure, leave longing to return. A visit will sure turn into a playdate and lots of misses and kisses. Your pets will feel right at home because the pets here aren't pets; their family. Whether they become extended cousins, or like brother and sister, your pet will feel like home away from home with us! Your pet has plenty of space to run around and if they're up for it will do so on their walks. Each of us have our own personality and here theirs can shine, grow, and learn to be in and create harmony with the world around them.
About: Hi, I’m Oli! I’m an artist and all-around goofy and laid-back guy who loves animals of all kinds, and especially cats! I’ve owned cats my whole life, and my boyfriend and I currently own two lovely cats, Zuko and Azula. I’m big into understanding animal behavior and I know that cats need extra time and patience to truly get comfortable with you, and I’m more than happy to give that. I’ve been able to befriend most cats I’ve met and I’m always happy to meet them on their terms. Azula, our younger cat, was actually feral when we found her living under our porch with her sister and mother, and we took in the two kittens and socialized them over about two months. In this time, I learned first hand how to work with less-social cats and gain the trust of animals that have no reason to trust a human. We also provided them all of their vet care, got them vaccinated, and treated them topically for fleas and orally for worms in this time. This gave me great experience with administering medication, even with cats that aren’t cooperative. Nowadays, you would never know Azula had been feral. She’s one of the most loving and trusting cats I’ve ever met, and she’s such a special girl! My experience with fostering and socializing cats gives me a good base for dealing with any cat, even those that are a little more standoffish and need some extra patience! Above all, respecting the cat’s boundaries and space are top priority for me! I also have experience with small animals and reptiles, having owned rats and a snake in the past and caring for a roommate’s bearded dragons many times. I love all creatures no matter how small! I am currently between jobs, so I am available for check-ins at any time of day, though morning and early evening visits still work best! Since cats are creatures of habit that truly need a familiar environment to thrive, I will only offer at-home check-ins. I have worked with another sitting platform for over a year that operates with this model and I have been fully background checked and vetted by them. I’ll meet with you beforehand to figure out house and key details, and I will always keep in touch when I’ve been to visit!
“This is our second time having Andrea visit our cat. Andrea is so great - easy to communicate with and so helpful. We will definitely be seeing if Andrea is available again next time we need help with the cat!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a child. We had a family kitty and other family members had dogs. I have experience taking care of families and friends dogs and cats, whether that was staying at their house and following their routines, taking the dogs out for walks, or simply popping in for their meal time. I have a soft spot for cats, but I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love! I currently don’t have a full time job and am applying to graduate school, so I am available when you need me! I am flexible and can work my routine around your pets’ needs. If you need me to stay over in your home, I will be sure to follow every instruction given, and treat it with the utmost care and cleanliness. I am a guest in your home, and am more than willing to follow any guidelines set by you. My goal is to be seamless and incorporate myself into your pets’ routines, as well as keep your home safe and secure.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with pets of all ages, including seniors. I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. My 6-year-old daughter often joins me — she’s kind, gentle, and loves animals just as much as I do. Together, we make your pets feel safe and loved. I’m at college until noon on weekdays, but my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open for pet time! I’m flexible and always happy to adjust my schedule to make sure your pets get the love and care they need. care for every pet as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I keep their space clean, cozy, and familiar, so they always feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Had Vassu come and take care of our two cats for two vacations. She was prompt and thorough. Communication was always very quick. She's dependable and will be my first choice in the future!”

“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”

“Amy took wonderful care of our kittens, sent regular updates, played with them, and clearly loved them! She made traveling so much easier knowing our beloved kitties were in great hands. She will definitely be our go-to sitter, couldn’t recommend any more highly!”

About: I’ve been working with animals since before I knew my times tables. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, fish, and more, and I love every minute of it. I’ve participated in training with my dog when she was a puppy, and am able to further use those skills and knowledge to help me care for other’s animals too :) I currently work full time, so morning and dinner time check-ins are easiest for me. Mondays and Fridays I only work until 12:30PM, so drop-ins are easier then. Let me know though if you have a weird schedule, we can work something out :) I have a large back yard with plenty of safe space to run. The pups are always supervised, whether on or off leash. I always prefer to meet with a pet before the care period so I and my pets can get to know them :)
“Anna is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to hire a “stranger” last minute for my trip but Anna made everything soooo stress free!!! She took perfect care of my pup, sent daily updates & was easily accessible via message! Anna is the best of the best!! ♥️♥️ so happy she is no longer a stranger !”

About: Hello, my name is Wen, nice to e-meet you. I am a pet parent, and have been a pet roommate for many years. Live by the rule of treating the other's pet as I would like mine treated, and opening up to furballs of all sizes (from chihuahua to pitbullS, yes plural, they were 3 gorgeous pitbull siblings). I successfully cared for and walked (and spoiled) Lola, Sweetie, Bailey, Roscoe, and Nugget. I pet-sitted in Lola's country house and Sweetie's small city apartment, making sure they were safe and comfortable at home while their hoomans were away. I'm your guy for any holidays, unexpected travel, long three day weekends, or any other festivity that you need reliable pet sitting, pet check-in or walks for. I care for pets as their owners want them to be cared for. Be it a list or a more relaxed environment, I'm your guy.
“Adara did a fabulous job taking care of Mr. Toby today during her two drop-in visits today! Toby clearly loves her by the photos she shared! I appreciate Adara's clear communication, and I feel comfortable/confident having her in my home while I'm away. Thanks, Adara!”

He is the best! Extremely dependable, diligent about following all directions and meeting needs of your animals. We have used him twice now and know our cats are in great hands! One warmed right up and met him every day with purrs and demands for brushing. The other was her usual, stand-offish self but still came out for a few sniffs and investigation. He respected their boundaries and gave them time to get to know him on their terms. He stays in great contact as well and we were very comfortable with him as a caretaker. We highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. Thank you so much!!
