Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!

This is our second time having Roslynn drop in to take care of our cats, and they’re familiar with her already! Even our more introverted and cautious cat had begun asking for scratches. She always goes above and beyond.

Christine was very reliable to watch our 2 cats. Both cats became increasingly trusting of her and she sent us great pictures. She was communicative, proactive and we would trust her to take care of our cats again.

Elisabeth took incredible care of my cat while I was away! I got plenty of photos and she was even kind enough to give in to his daily demands to be brushed. It was such a relief to know he was well taken care of while I was gone for two weeks. Elisabeth was able to step in and extend her visits when my return trip was delayed for a day. Highly recommended!

About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.

Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need plenty of play and structure to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves individualized attention. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I also have experience caring for pets with disabilities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm, reassuring presence, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I'm currently seeking a full-time position, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I can provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I'm committed to accommodating your pet's routine and will communicate with you regularly to ensure you have peace of mind while you're away. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Before each visit, I take the time to understand your pet's schedule, personality, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best possible care. During visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs, whether that means a long walk, extra cuddle time, or a slower pace for senior or special-needs pets. I also keep litter boxes clean, clean up after pets, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

Kara was great with my beagle! We set up a meet and greet that went well! She helped us out when our other pet sitter had a conflict. There was a small miscommunication about the 1st arrival time but was quickly corrected. She did 2 drop in visits on a Saturday and spent an hour each time. Wore my baby out on the short walks and my pup slept great. Kara is very responsive and loving. Would definitely use her again!

Bri is such a genuine, caring, and kind sitter! She truly knows what she’s doing, and just wants to make sure our best buddies are safe, healthy, and happy while we pet parents are gone! I left my two cats with her while my partner and I were away on a weekend trip. She took lots of pictures, and told us how they were doing and getting along with her, especially as one of them was just adopted by us and was very traumatized. He did amazing!! He was so brave to sniff her hand and rub up against her.. definitely the most trustworthy sitter I’ve had. Will be having her again as a sitter in the future!!

Emma is wonderful. She came over a few days before my trip to meet the cats, and she was able to get my skittish guy to accept some pets, which is rare (the other one had no issues with meeting her). She took wonderful care of both of them, and she was super understanding when my flight got delayed and I needed her for an extra morning. Will definitely book again the next time I'm out of town!
