11. Bri D.
“Bri is an excellent pet sitter—I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s taken great care of my cat several times while I’ve been on vacation. She’s informative and responsive and knows how to administer medication.”
12. Tess H.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, ranging from puppies and kittens to elderly pets with health issues. I am a full-time graduate student with classes at night so fitting pet care in during the day is something I am looking forward to! I always try to assess whatever the pets and owners needs are. This may mean shorter visits if the pet is a bit shy or longer visits if the pet wants to play.
13. Mikayla C.
“Mikayla was a great help watching our girls! She was very thorough and communicative and made sure our kitties were well taken care of. Would recommend Mikayla for all pet sitting needs!!”
14. Karrah D.
“Karrah was GREAT! She went above and beyond with my kitty. I’ve never left her home alone for this long (2 weeks), but Karrah reassured me and let me know my fur-baby was doing ok and quickly became kitty’s spare human. I’ve always said “choose your people by how quickly your animals accept them.” Kitty took to her right away. Thank you Karrah! You will be my first go-to in the future!”
15. Emily A.
“My cat Ziggy just adored Emily. Excellent communication, loved all my pics and is a great for kitty cuddles. Was able to help me out when travel plans went askew and cannot thank enough. Highly recommend!”
16. Khadija K.
“Khadija was WONDERFUL. This was the longest we'd ever left the kitties and we were worried about how they'd react. She was so good with them. We returned to happy, healthy, lovingly cared-for kitty-cats thanks to her.”
17. Joshgun A.
“Joshgun was wonderful! He helped me out last minute over Thanksgiving and took wonderful care of my cats. He was even willing to help when my return plans changed the day before I was supposed to return. My cats adore him and I will absolutely have him back when I go out of town again.”
18. Shanti S.
“Shanti is very responsible and really nice to our dog.”
19. Channing D.
“Channing was great at watching our cat! Usually our cat has a pretty solid stomach, but not this time and Channing had no problems cleaning it up off the carpet. I wouldn't have even known it happened if she hadn't said something. 11/10 would ask to cat sit again.”
20. Matthew L.
“Matthew is amazing! Our pets love him and he takes lots of photos. It’s as if we never left. They never have anxiety issues because Matthew makes them feel so comfortable. He has become part of the family now and has only sat for us for 2 weekends, but very important weekends. I would recommend him hands down!”
