“Audrey was amazing! An obvious animal lover that took such great care of our Senior dog during our wedding. She sent adorable pictures and kept us updated throughout the day/night - we were able to enjoy our day knowing our dog was being well taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking for our next outing! Thanks Audrey!”

“Nicolle was STELLAR. Not only did she leave thorough notes each day, but lovely pictures and videos that illustrated how interactive she was with our two kitty fur babies. She was gentle with them, yet playful. She followed through on all instruction. We will DEFINITELY go with her again!”

“Libby gave us the confidence to leave our two cats for two weeks. She was extra meticulous with our feeding instructions, which were quite complicated. There was a time when she opened a packet of supplement and realized the smell and color didn't look right, and informed us without putting it in the food. She also took care to separate a new batch of frozen food from the old batch in the freezer, so our cats would finish the old batch first. Just a lot of attention to detail and excellent communication. Our cats fell in love with Libby over time. One would even sit in her lap and beg to be hugged every time she visited. When I came back I saw the cats are happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Libby to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”

He was professional and courteous in our interactions and amicable to all my requests as I was away. He also seemed to really enjoy working with my pet which was awesome to see and hear about!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I love to play with them and give them all the love and attention they deserve. I have pet sat for family and close friends a couple of times. I currently work remotely, so I can come over for most of the workday. I have plenty of time to play and take care of your animals. I do like to go out to dinners and activities with friends in the evening, but I will always make time before or after my event to check in on the animals. The nights I’m not out and about, I am open to staying for the majority of the evening to give your animal extra time and attention I am used to walking my dogs on leash. I have a yellow lab, and I have pet sat big dogs before. I also have a boyfriend who has two huskies and can come over and help with any bigger or rowdier animals. I will maintain regular contact with owners and update them with pictures of their animals daily.

“Kailin did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Ava! She was incredibly accommodating with my last minute booking and even trekked through a snowstorm to make sure my girl got her medications. I swear my cat was disappointed when I walked through the door when I got home instead of Kailin. Would HIGHLY recommend her!!”

About: Dogs with extra needs are my favorite. I love staying with and comforting a dog who is really going to miss you. I’m perfect for dogs who need mediation or a little extra sensitiviy because of a condition. I’m an active person so I’m ready to play a lot of tug-of-war or taking them on run, if that’s what they like. I’ll be a really happy if they just love cuddling too. I’ve grown up with four dogs of my own my whole life. I studied animal behavior and have supported cats and dogs with complex health conditions needing medication, physical therapy, injections, and mobility support (doggie wheelchairs) I’m happy to have extended stays for those long trips. I’ll water plants at needed, get your packages, and I always make sure your apartment and pupper is clean and comfy when you get back! I’ve volunteered at the Anti Cruelty and Paws for 10 years. I am the go to sitter for all my friend’s animals; dogs, cats, birds, reptiles. I am great at following Pet Parents protocols and keeping an eye on your pet’s behavior to find out what they need from me each visit. I have a flexible work from home schedule so I am available after 7am until 9pm for walks and drop in visits. Available 7 days a week. I always follow the instructions Pet Parents give me and follow common sense safety guidelines. Open doors slowly and at a minimum until I know where your pets are. Always a secure and safely fitting leash, vest, collar. Refreshing food and water as instructed. Keeping an eye in the house for accidents or odd behavior to message to the Pet Parent and take care of the need.

About: I've taken care of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, turtles, tortoises, hermit crabs, rabbits, bearded dragons, geckos, and fish) since 2008. I've been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, among other tasks. I'm a public school teacher on summer vacation ready and happy to fill my days with caring for your sweet pets. I'm an early riser and can be available as early at 6:30 a.m. and as late as 8:00 p.m. My number one priority is the physcial and emotional safety of your pet! The second is to respect your home and items. The only evidence of me being in your space should be a happy, cared for pet.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was five years old, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe in giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. Whether it’s going for walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing playtime and companionship, or simply giving them extra affection, I’m happy to help make sure your pets feel right at home while you’re away. I know pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and love I would want someone to give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and love making time for in my routine. I believe pets thrive on consistency, attention, and affection, so I’m happy to work around their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other daily needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine while their owner is away. Whether it’s taking a dog for a walk or spending quality time with a cat, I love making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I follow all feeding instructions, keep water bowls fresh, clean litter boxes, and make sure pets get the appropriate exercise and playtime for their needs. I understand that pets can feel anxious when their owners are away, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual personalities and comfort levels. I’ll also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands!

“Jenny is wonderful! On the way back from my trip I found a happy and well cared for cat :). She sent me cute pics, even one where she was holding my cat, which is very unusual because he tends to be shy. Next time I travel I hope she's available so we can arrange cat sitting again.”

About: I have hands-on animal care experience from working at a doggy daycare, grooming, and boarding facility, volunteering at an animal shelter for two years, and fostering animals with my family. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits around my school schedule, Monday through Thursday. I have open availability outside of class and am happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone! I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their usual routines, respecting their individual needs, and carefully following their owner’s instructions. I ensure pets are always supervised appropriately, keep them away from potential hazards, and make sure they have access to fresh water, food, and a safe environment. I also provide plenty of attention, patience, and love!

About: I have dog sat with my partner for years in upstate NY. I have also done it on my own for friends and colleagues. I understand the trust and care needed to watch a furry family member. And the care that must go with it. I’m a WFH social worker. So my schedule is very flexible for check ins. I also own a car and don’t mind driving a little bit further to check in on your pet As a cat parent I understand the importance of keeping a schedule and making sure my pet is happy. I would provide the same care for your animal as I would my own. Just as I’ve done for the other animals I have watched over the years

About: I’m a certified fur-baby lover who’s had family dogs for as long as I can remember! Whether it be my own pets family or friends’ pets, I’ve always prioritized making the pet feel comfortable and attending to their needs as their parent would! I’m a graduate student with school/work during the week, so I’m mostly available during the afternoons/evenings, however I am available during mid-day times on Mondays and Tuesdays. I’m available to walk/dogsit during the day on weekends as well! I’ll make sure to follow any sort of guidelines/preferences that you may have while taking care of your pet to ensure a safe and trustworthy environment.

Aaron checked in on our kitty 12 times while we were out of town. As a person who is very anxious leaving my cat while traveling, I didn’t have to worry once about Butternut while we were gone. Aaron was reliable, followed all of our instructions and regularly sent us pictures of our kitty. When our cat threw up he communicated it with us and reassured us that he didn’t mind cleaning it up. We (Butternut included) recommend Aaron!

Kiefer works very collaboratively with us. He’s an excellent communicator, keeps in touch in the lead up to the visit and afterward, and spends a lot of time learning about our dog. We appreciate his trustworthiness and reliability, and our dog appreciates his demeanor and patience. 10/10 would recommend!

Mercedes did a great job checking in on and playing with our kittens while we were out of town for a couple days. She followed all of my (very exacting) instructions, sent many photos, and checked in at exactly the times I requested. I'll definitely hit her up again if we'll be away overnight.

Olivia did a fantastic job with our three cats! They are all sixteen years old, two require medicine, and one is particularly finicky. Olivia took care of them for over a week and bonded with all of them! She also provided thorough reports each time she visited. I am glad we found her. We will definitely use her the next time we need someone to take care of our cats! Olivia is reliable and responsible- highly recommend her. Jennifer
