Xiomara is my go-to sitter for my two cats! She’s amazing, trustworthy, smooth communication and she took great care of my two babies! She also took a lot of lovely pictures during each visit, which is super appreciated. Highly recommended her, your pet will be in good hands for sure! Looking forward to her next visit with my cats.

So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.

Leigh took wonderful care of our two senior cats. She was comfortable giving one of our cats his medication twice a day and sent us good notes and pictures each day. Leigh is also just lovely and easy to talk to. From our initial meet and greet, it was clear she cares for animals and "gets" how to approach them. We feel confident leaving our boys in her care and will definitely try to book her again in the future!

About: I’ve always loved cats and have been the proud owner of my wonderful cat, Stevie, for over 6 years. I have hands-on experience caring for a cat from kittenhood through adulthood, so I understand how a cat’s needs change over time. I’m knowledgeable about the health side of cat care, including grooming, dental care, nail trims, ear care, and dietary needs. Most importantly, I know that every cat is different and that playtime, treats, patience, and understanding their individual personality are key to their happiness. I stay calm and attentive if a cat isn’t feeling well, and I am comfortable administering medication and following specific care instructions when medical needs arise. My goal is always to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible with days and times. I’m available for weekday and weekend care, including drop-ins and extended visits. For weekend bookings, I kindly request advanced notice so I can plan accordingly and ensure your cat receives the best possible care. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate schedules to meet your needs whenever possible. When caring for cats in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, and any medical or dietary needs. I take the time to observe each cat’s behavior and adjust my approach accordingly based on their individual personality. Whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or affectionate. I keep the space clean and organized, always respect the client’s home, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your cat is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving experience while you’re away.

Katrina has always been great! This time she very kindly picked up our cat from the emergency vet at night and got him settled at home when we had logistics issues getting back from vacation. She made sure he was safe, gave us an update on his behavior, and made sure we got all the information we need from the vet. We’d recommend her to anyone!

Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was young. I love spending time with our fur friends and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home, even when you’re away, giving them the attention and comfort they deserve I just returned home from an 8 month contract as a performer in Virginia, so I have LOADS of time to love your fur babies and give them the best care possible! I live with my two cats Goose & Enzo! I’ve had Goose for the last 2 years and recently adopted little Enzo Muffin in October!

We were beyond pleased with the service (and so was our kitty). Stephanie came through for us at the last minute on top of that as well. Everything was kept neat and clean, and although our cat is not the most social kitty, she did not seem at all upset by the presence of a new person in our home and everything stayed right on schedule for her. I could not recommend Stephanie enough and we will definitely use her again in the future!

We left our precious cat Bootsy in Jill's care for 10 days. Jill took great care of him! We will definitely book Jill again when we need Bootsy to be looked after in the future. Jill was very thoughtful, easy to work with, and went the extra mile while taking care of Bootsy. She communicated frequently, and eased our minds while we couldn't be with our baby boy. She was a great help and you shouldn't hesitate to book Jill to help take care of your fur baby!

Kat is such a thoughtful and caring cat sitter! I was so happy to come home to a clean space and two very happy, well-adjusted cats. She sent me many adorable photos every day, and it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treated my cats with so much care and attention. My cats clearly loved her too! I’d absolutely ask her to help again next time.

Ivana took great care of our cat while we were away. Not only did she feed and play with her, but our water alarm went off while she was there and she promptly took care of that also. I hope she is available the next time we need to go out of town!
