“My cat, PJ, loved Caroline. She's usually very skittish, but on their first meeting I could tell PJ felt very comfortable and the many pictures Caroline sent showed just how happy and relaxed she was. Caroline even did extras like taking in my mail and trash can. She is wonderful and I will definitely use her again.”
“Anne always takes wonderful care of our cats, especially our elder cat who is a finicky eater, and our cancer survivor boi. She's thoughtful, thorough, patient, and a good soul. We appreciate all she does for us and our cats!”
“Carol took great care of my cat and sent lots of pictures! She came to meet him before we went away which helped put us at ease. She also brought our mail in for us! Would definitely recommend Carol!”
“Anne Marie was so great with our cats! They warmed up to her quickly, and she shared photos of them every day, which put our minds at ease since they looked happy and content. 😊 She also kindly brought our mail in, and we appreciated the peace of mind she gave us just knowing someone was watching our cats with such care and kindness. Thank you! 🌞”
“Nicole is the best!!! We were a little nervous to try Rover for the first time with our two cats, one of which requires daily medication. She was so responsive and loving for our kitties!!! She made the entire experience stress free. We can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Karen was amazing looking after my two cats! She is trustworthy, patient, and so kind! She even came for a meet and greet which put my mind at ease. I plan on using Karen again in the very near future! She sent pictures and updates and I so much appreciate her! I would recommend Karen to anyone who loves their furr babies!”
“Sarah was amazing with my special needs kitty, little baby No No Pants. He's a one eyed, limited vision in the remaining eye, hearing impaired little gremlin who was recovering from dental surgery when she met us for a meet a greet and ultimately cared for him while I was away for the first time over the Easter holiday. She handled all of his special needs along with his quirks with care and patience. She allowed him to get acquainted on his terms, which meant becoming his personal jungle gym to investigate her head to toe. She followed all of his care instructions wonderfully, sent adorable pictures to keep me posted on how he was doing, and totally put my worries and anxiety at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy well cared for little guy. She's officially No No approved with two paws up for sure!”
“Took excellent care of our 2 cats while we were away! We got tons of detailed updates and photos that gave us a clear picture of what was going on at home!

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I have always been surrounded by different household animals. Dogs, cats, crabs, fish. I do not currently have the resources to have my own furry friend but have carved time to begin walking and sitting to still have an outlet for pet connection. I am eager to get into a conversation and discuss some options. Chat soon :) I am flexible. Looking to build my work schedule around walking and sitting. I would prefer to walk in the early morning or late at night but open to different options. When walking dogs, I am aware of soundings to keep them safe. I will keep them to the route planned and expected to ensure habits follow as normal.

Anne Marie takes excellent care of our two cats! We feel so confident going away, knowing they will be in such great hands. She also kindly brought in the mail and a package that arrived earlier than expected. This is the second time we've worked with Anne Marie, and we hope to do so again in the future. 🌞

Grace was absolutely wonderful! She was able to do a check-in for my 4 cats on very short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She was communicative, reliable, and made sure everyone was happy and well taken care of while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!
Macy was very helpful! She was even nice enough to do a pre-visit before my vacation so I could show her my building and make sure she felt comfortable. It's obvious she loves cats because she sends lots of pics so I know she is interacting with them. Very kind and trustworthy!
