“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”

About: I started dog sitting about six years ago for a family friend and quickly realized how much I loved it. While I grew up with two cats and didn’t spend much time around dogs at first, dog sitting gave me the opportunity to gain hands on experience and build confidence caring for them. Since then, I’ve worked with several families who trust me to care for their dogs while they’re away, and I truly enjoy spending time with their furry friends. I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, from shy and reserved to those who can’t get enough attention. I believe it’s very important to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment while their owners are away. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, routines, and personality so they feel safe and well cared for. I’m also a very active person and love going for walks, which are always better with a dog by my side. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a longer walk to burn off energy, I enjoy making sure dogs get both exercise and companionship. I currently work full time, but I typically work from home, which allows me to be flexible with pet care throughout the day. I’m open to creating a plan that works best for both of us and meets your dog’s specific needs and routine. In the past, I’ve supported families in different ways depending on what works best for them. For example, I’ve stayed at a family’s home and worked remotely from there while they were away, ensuring their dog had consistent companionship. For other families, I’ve made multiple visits throughout the day to provide attention, walks, feeding, and fresh water. This flexibility allows me to provide reliable care while maintaining each dog’s normal routine and comfort. I am very responsible and treat my clients homes with the same care and respect as I would my own. It is extremely important to me that both you and your dog feel comfortable, safe, and confident while you are away. I understand that trusting someone with your home and your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Margaret, as always, did as great job with keeping our kitties happy and healthy while we were away. They seemed pretty well-adjusted when we got back home. Thanks so much!!”

“Alex is amazing and I feel very lucky to have her care for my cat. My cat really enjoys being with her and always looks happy in the photos and videos she sends. She gives thoughtful updates after every visit and keeps me reassured when I am away. She is easy to talk to and always responsive. I would happily recommend Alex and will absolutely book with her again.”

“Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.”

“Kieralyn did an incredible job taking care of our four cats for a week during the nights. One of them needed medical attention, and she handled it wonderfully. She made sure they always had enough food and water, thoroughly cleaned the litter boxes, and gave our cat the necessary insulin shots. She took such great care of them that we believe our cats will miss her! We couldn’t have asked for better care.”


“Ami was incredible to work with. She’s thorough and communicative and I felt so at ease knowing my cat was being so well taken care of. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“I had a great experience with Elizabeth! She was very attentive and caring with my cat, spending quality time playing and keeping her company. I really appreciated the daily photo updates — it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was happy and well taken care of. She also replied to messages very quickly, which made communication super easy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter! 🐾”

“Julia was so kind and thorough! Provided great drop in care for my cat on our long thanksgiving weekend while we were out of town. My cat appreciated her patience and warmed up by the end! She sent lovely photos and updates, and left our house in perfect condition! Would definitely book with Julia again, and highly recommend!”

“Paul is truly the greatest pet sitter and human on the planet!!! Not only does he care for Mr. Xur in the best way but he’s also helped us out so many times on VERY short notice. Always reliable, and always sending the best photos and best notes of how our kitty is doing 🧡 Paul we love you!! Thank you for all your help!”

“Another 5 star experience of having Nicole watch my cats! Nicole provides such detailed updates and great pictures of the cats. Nicole is reliable and attentive, and I can rest assured they are in good hands when I’m away.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I understand the importance of gentle care, special routines, and watching for signs of discomfort. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine passion for animals. Whether it’s exercise, playtime, medication, or simply providing comfort, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a doctoral student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. The only times I’m unavailable are Wednesday and Thursday evenings due to classes, but otherwise I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. I live in a first-level apartment with my two cats and senior dog. My pets are generally free-roaming, though our senior dog is occasionally crated when needed. I’m comfortable crating dogs or using carriers for cats if that’s part of their routine, and I can walk pets on or off leash depending on what you prefer. While I can’t host additional animals in my own home, I’m very experienced and reliable in caring for pets in their home environment, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Ciana did a fantastic job to care for our cats while we were away. She was always prompt each day, spent time to bond with the cats, and kept things tidy around the house and sent us pictures each day. 5 stars!”
“We are so thankful to Cara for attentively watching our two cats and chinchillas and house sitting! Everything was perfect and it was a relief to know the animals were so loved on in our absence.”

“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”

About: I’m active and fit to take care of strong dogs. I’m also good for long walks and playing with dogs. I’m easy to deal with and dogs usually like me immensely. I’m available whenever is necessary, day or night, weekend or during the week. Short notice is fine with me, as is changing what you and your pet requires. I’m available to house the dogs, or go to your house to take care of the dogs. Whether they need a lot of daily exercise, or they just need good company.

Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.
