“Regan has been walking my dog for months! I love having her. During that time my puppy was just 12 weeks old when we started and she’s been so flexible along the way as my puppy learned & grew. Thanks Regan!! 10/10 would recommend!”



“Dmitra was wonderful with our cat, Lily! Very easy to communicate with and provided lots of cuddles while we were away. We hope to use her services on future trips.”



“Amy did an excellent job checking on our older pups when we were out of town for a week. Both pups were under the weather and needed a lot of patience and compassion. She made a very trying time a lot easier.”


“Ashley was great! She made time for a meet and greet prior to the visits. My pets warmed up to her and she was very patient with my boy cat who takes a little bit of time to adjust to new people. Very thankful and couldn't recommend her enough.”


“Carol was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were out of town! She provided daily updates with pictures, showing that our cat was happy, eating well, and had a clean litter box. It gave us such peace of mind to know our pet was in great hands. We truly appreciated the thoughtful care and communication—thank you, Carol!”


“Can’t speak highly enough of Elizabeth. She went above and beyond to give my cats the best care - they are very shy and suspicious of people, so they hide from everyone else who has come to care for them. Elizabeth took the time to sit with them and build trust so much so that by day 2 the cats were coming up to get pets and play with her. She clearly has that animal lover’s intuition and loved on my cats like they were her own.”


“Tony did a wonderful job dropping in on my cat. Tony spent a lot of time getting to know her and from his updates I could tell she was very comfortable when he was visiting. Great check-ins, fun pictures, and I felt very assured my cat was being well cared for by Tony.”


About: I've grown up around cats and have sat for multiple families. I love cats of all ages and look forward to getting to know each and every one. I enjoy plants as well and am happy to care for plants while you are away. I currently work full time during weekdays and would unavailable during typical business hours. I would happy to drop by and spend time with your pet first thing after I leave work and on weekends. I always meet you and your pet before committing to sitting for you to ensure we are a good match and your pet feels comfortable with me. I meet the pet where they are in the environment that is most comfortable for them. I ask questions in advance to ensure I am prepared to meet your pets needs while you are away.

“Sarah was wonderful! Rocky was always excited when she came to do a drop-in. That was a big relief for me not knowing how he would do; but he had a great time! It was great that he was in good hands.”


“Hilary was great - very flexible, dependable and kind. We are a family with multiple, older felines, all of whom have particular needs. Hilary was trustworthy, meeting those needs for a multi-day stretch. She also went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable with her being in our home. Would highly recommend!”


“David was so great with our elderly cat who needs a bit of extra care! He made sure he was eating and drinking well and that he had his meds when appropriate. We appreciated the updates and pictures and felt good knowing Nigel had someone responsible and kind to look after him and give him some love. We would definitely book with David again!”


“Ananda took wonderful care of our sweet but finicky cat ahead of the holidays! She went above beyond to read care instructions beforehand, sent regular, detailed updates with pictures that put us at ease, and even took the time to feed the wild birds in our yard. Truly an animal person!”



“Tracie exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Every visit was prompt, great updates, tons of pictures and even some videos. She gave our dog tons of attentions, lots of cuddles, and even brought him some toys. She genuinely cared about our pup which made us feel at ease. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about a dog sitter, Tracie will make you feel confident in no time. We will certainly use Tracie again!”


“Hannah did an absolutely spectacular job. We have three cats who crave attention, and Hannah gave them plenty! She went above and beyond during her drop in visits. We received plenty of pictures while we were gone. Definitely going to be using Hannah as our sitter again!”


“Ann was great! She left my home very clean and was an excellent communicator. I was very nervous to leave my elderly cat alone for the first time in years, especially since he developed health issues, and Ann did a great job taking care of him. I would definitely recommend.”


“Andrea is wonderful! She was GREAT with our dogs, super dependable and provided daily feedback. We will definitely ask her to help out with the pups again. Thank you!”
