“Vickie & Kylee did a fantastic job with our two cats! Our travel plans changed a couple of times due to weather, and they were very understanding and flexible. They diligently sent photos and kept in touch with updates. We definitely plan to use them in the future!”
“Katherine fed and checked on my cats at very short notice. She did a great job and left everything very tidg. She even won over my very shy cat! Can't wait to book her again!”
“Brian took great care of our two cats. We really appreciated the photos and updates he sent with each visit. He went above and beyond to engage our cats and keep our home clean and safe for them.”
“Rachael was great! Communicated well and was so thorough. I could tell how comfortable my cats were with her through the pictures she sent. Such peace of mind! Will definitely book with her again when our little buddies need looking after.”
“Steve and his girlfriend are great petsitters, they took the job even though they are a little far from my house. They took care of my boy very well! I greatly appreciate it, thanks.”
“I’ve used Sarah many times, and she’s always consistently wonderful!! Not only does she take great care of my kittens, she’s clearly a thoughtful person. I was crunched for time before going on this trip & didn’t have time to fully get my apartment ready. Without my asking, she watered my plants and took out the trash. She’s just so lovely!”
“Meghan did a wonderful job doing house visits for our 2 cats!! She gave us very detailed updates after every visit and followed all care instructions perfectly. Our 2 kitties are very shy around strangers, but Meghan tried very hard to entice them with toys and treats! Meghan was very invested in caring for our kitties - she even managed to make it to our house during a snow/ice storm and provided our cats with extra food & water in case of power outages. Having Meghan as our sitter gave us peace of mind that our babies were being well taken care of, and allowed us to relax and have fun on our trip. Will be booking her services again for our future travels!”
About: I am a recent Duke graduate on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive experience caring for laboratory dogs and I currently work at a veterinary clinic. I regularly walk, bathe, and socialize dogs and cats. I also have experience administering medications and subcutaneous injections. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of availability!

I am a consistent and responsible worker. I am happy to give your pets multiple visits per day, as well as do housekeeping tasks such as checking the mail and watering plants.
“Jack is a wonderful cat sitter and I highly recommend him. He went above & beyond both in prep (I gave him wrong address as just moved but he came to my new home and was kind about mistake) and in care for my babies. He brought toys for them to okay with and gave me great updates and pics. I hope to have him care for my babies next time I’m out of town.”
“We are such a fan of Roess! First time EVER that the litter has been adequately scooped! Our cat will let us know if she doesn’t like the littler job 😬 We are so grateful to Roess for the excellent care!”
“Robert did a fantastic job of watching our two cats while both of us were out of town, including one particularly troublesome cat. Everything was perfect and everyone is happy!!”
“Joy was fantastic! She did a wonderful job sending lots of pictures and keeping me updated. There was a winter storm while we were gone and she thought ahead to make sure we had flashlights set out as well as knew how to manually access the girls’ automatic feeders in case power was lost. It’s the first time I’ve bee able to travel without stressing about my kitties. The girls definitely have a new best friend….they may even like her more than me now lol.”
“Yingquan was willing to come AGAIN during our trip, even though we only asked her to come once when we previously talked, because our flight was delayed and we ended up traveling for another day. We were so relieved to have this super reliable and experienced person take care of our kitties when we couldn’t!! We arrived home to perfect cats and we were so grateful. Yingquan is communicative and easy to work with! If she’s willing, we will definitely request her services again in the future.”
