She covered the span of 5 days - on three of them I wanted him checked on twice and on the other two days I had her come once as family wanted to visit with him as well. She sent me pictures every time she was with him and I hate to say it, but I don’t even think he realized I was gone!

Don’t hesitate to use her - we will continue to whenever he needs a sitter! Thanks, Annie!”

I hope to always use Elizabeth when we’re out of town.”
“Sujae is an excellent cat sitter. She came for drop in visits on time and consistently over multiple days. I liked seeing pictures of all the cats and the nice notes she left.

Sujae did a wonderful job for me and my cats. Thanks Sujae!”

About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I always strive for a 5-star experience, but my top priority will always be the safety of the pets in my care. I chose to refuse a request to take a cat outside without a harness, as the flight risk was far too high. It resulted in a low rating, but I will never compromise an animal's safety. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.

My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care.

About: I have had cats my whole life, and I love them so much because they teach you about respect.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for animals of all different ages and personalities. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 7 years old, and I’ve cared for cats and dogs. I’ve also had experience caring for senior pets, including looking after a 22-year-old cat while their owner was away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently taking my college classes online, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals! I am available pretty much every day of the week for whatever your pet needs. Having experience with reactive animals, I understand that comfort and familiarity are number one for a pets safety. I have no problem adapting to an animal's needs so that they can trust me and feel comfortable with my care, whether it be sitting patiently with them until they feel safe, or crating an animal if need be. My top priority is making sure your furbabies are fed, having fun, and not scared!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds before since i was a child. I was the one that was always responsible for taking care and walking the dogs for my friends and family.

About: I have shared my life with cats since childhood, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of their unique languages and temperaments. As a current cat owner myself, I know that cats are not just pets—they are family.
