“Ann went completely above and beyond for my pets (cats and rabbit). She provided detailed notes and cute pictures from her visits letting me know what was new with my pets and how they were doing, and it was clear that she gave them lots and lots of love while I was away. They were so obviously very happy, getting lots of attention and play in addition to quality care. Ann is so sweet and easy to work with, I would trust her to look after my babies again in a heartbeat.”
“Emma was thorough, professional, and brought a warm feeling watching her interact with Pecorino and Halloumi during the meet and greet. She provided photos while she was caring for them and asked thoughtful questions throughout to ensure Peccy and Lumi were cared for to the best of her ability.”
“Alison was wonderful to work with. She was friendly and kind. She sent lots of pictures of our pets. We felt relieved knowing our pets were in such capable hands. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“This was our first time using a cat-sitting service, and we were nervous about how our cat would behave, especially given his personality. Kiari not only reassured us so we could enjoy a relaxing vacation with peace of mind, but she also took excellent care of our cat and catered to his needs. She was always in touch, quick to respond, and sent us lots of pictures of our cat. Our cat adored her from day one! I can’t recommend Kiari enough—she was amazing in every way.”
“Eko and Sarah were AMAZING!!!! They house sat my very clingy blind cat and I feel like a beautiful friendship was formed between them. They were incredibly communicative, kind, flexible, understanding, and left our apartment so clean and tidy.”
About: I have worked with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and much more. I have cared for cats and dogs for years, and I am a former Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) currently in the process of renewing my designation. I will be working full time starting Aug 11th. Up until then, I have A LOT of availability. After Aug 11th, I will have Sundays and Mondays off for house sitting. Other days may be considered for pet sitting after 4 pm and into the evening. I am comfortable giving dogs/cats medications. My dog Foxy has anxiety, so she receives oral medication and a prescription diet (for her sensitive stomach), and I also have experience administering medications to dogs/cats in the vet clinic.
“We are so pleased with Asia. She provided plenty of TLC in our absence and made a new friend in our cat Thunder. The daily feedback and pictures of Thunder gave us peace of mind that he was in capable and loving hands. We will definitely use Asia’s services in the future. We were throughly impressed.”
“Danielle was amazing with my two kitties! She gave them lots of love and attention, and even befriended my skittish kitty. I will definitely book her again, and recommend her to anyone!”
“It was so nice having Jaqueline watch our cats for us while we were away. She sent lots of photos and gave detailed updates on our cats, which we appreciated so much. If you're looking for someone friendly, attentive, and communicative look no further! We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again. Thank you, Jaqueline!”
“I cannot begin to say how great Kaitlyn has been. There was a problem at my house when she went in. She contacted me right away. Knowing I was gone for a week, she said she would handle the situation. That involved a trip to the store and returning, all while taking excellant care of my cat. I felt so relieved knowing she was checking in! She's truly is amazing ♥️♥️”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my sweet Lab/Pit mix since she was just 6 weeks old, and I’ve helped care for many family pets—from energetic Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to strong, independent Huskies. I also share my home with a large, lovable yellow cat who’s been with me for the last 5 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether I’m stopping in to check on your furry friend or taking them out for a walk, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs (if they’re into that). Looking forward to meeting your pet soon! I am currently enrolled in grad school for social work. For this I am working a part time (unpaid) internship leaving me to find other ways of income until I graduate. I am very flexible but love consistency when it comes to responsibilities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I expect in my own. I’m mindful of your space, follow any specific instructions you provide, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. Your home and your pet’s comfort are my top priorities.
“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time leaving our pets with a sitter and we were very nervous to say the least. Paul went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were well cared for and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely book with Paul again the next time we go out of town.”
