Top rated University Square pet sitters
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing. She watched my Abyssinian cat for five days and if you know anything about Abyssinians, they become very attached to their owners and have extreme anxiety when they’re separated. She came to our house every day and stayed for a half an hour, not just feeding and caring for Bella, but playing with her and giving her the social interaction she needed. I definitely recommend Jennifer and will be using her again. Thank you so much Jennifer for caring for our baby, Bella!”
“Jordan did a great job with our kitty! She was very prompt, followed all of the instructions left for Ruthie wonderfully, and did an excellent job communicating. She even sent the cutest pictures of our very pleased cat who was insisting on more pets and cuddles. I was very confident that our cat and home were in good, reliable hands. Jordan was thoughtful, professional, and showed a really kind heart for animals. Will be hiring again!”
“Bianca went above and beyond had two trips back to back and one last minute and she said yes without hesitation. Communicative, attentive with my fur baby. Very recommended. I will definitely use her services again.”
“As always, Emma was fantastic with my girls. She went above and beyond when Snap and Pompom broke something (100% my fault) and made sure it was well cleaned so they wouldn't get glass in their paws.”
“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Tina was great with my two cats. She was very attentive to details which I really appreciated and provided good notes and pics for each visit. I will definitely rebook.”
“Danni was absolutely great! She made sure both of our cats had fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of pets, and provided detailed updates for each check in. We would be more than happy to book with her again!”
“Kaylee did an excellent job taking care of our cat, Kori, while we were away. We came back to a happy, well-fed, and content kitty. She followed our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and left everything clean and well-organized. Kaylee's patience with Kori, who can be a bit moody at times, really stood out—she made sure he had plenty of playtime and exercise. We highly recommend Kaylee to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and caring petsitter!”
“Mia did a fantastic job caring for our two pups while we were on vacation. She was on top of all their needs and provided great updates to ease our minds! Will definitely be re booking, thank you Mia!”
“Hillary made me feel comfortable traveling while she was taking care of my kitties! She checked in with me and always sent great pictures and videos. Thanks, Hillary!!!”
“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”
“Ashlee did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was away! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals—my cats absolutely loved her. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. She also took the time to water my plants, which I really appreciated. Everything was well cared for and I came home to happy pets and a thriving home. I highly recommend Ashlee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Thank you so much Abi! Great service and communication all around. Very patient with my fur baby and everything was perfect. You are amazing and I appreciate you caring for Piggy! Will definitely book again as I already have sent a request! ❤️”
“Rylie is very attentive to our pets and always has photos and updates. Her communication is great and we continue to use her whenever we are out of town. I highly recommend her!!”
“Very polite and responsive. Even asked if she could bring her sister along which was awesome of her! Chunk’s energy threw her for a loop, so I’m glad it all worked would! Definitely recommend!”
“We met with Allyson and knew that she was going to be the perfect sitter for our pups. Her level of professionalism and frequency of communication really helped to ease our minds about our furry friends while away. Thank you Allyson.”
