“Shawna provided great care for my cats and is so great to work with. Even one of my shy cats came out to play when she came by. I appreciated the daily updates and photos as well.”
“Kati is the best cat sitter that we’ve ever had! We can actually go on vacation and never have to worry about the wellbeing of our 4 cats. With Kati, our cats are always happy and healthy when we get home which hasn’t been the case with sitters that we’ve used in the past. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Beth was exceptional with our cats. She kept in close communication while we were gone and gave regular updates. It was evident that the cats were comfortable with Beth; when we got home they showed no signs of stress or misbehavior. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with the cats and to work with. She kept us well informed, cared for the cats, and was a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use her, again.”
“Maria graciously responded last minute as our original cat sitter fell through. She quickly stopped by so I could show her around the house. She took such good care of our fur babies and kept us updated throughout the weekend while we were gone. Thank you so much!”
“Jason took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! He kept in contact, took great pictures, and left the house just the way he found it (if not cleaner!). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Christina was fantastic! She was very communicative, and let me know how my cats were doing along with sending pictures of them daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Valerie is the best! We needed someone to look after our rabbit for the weekend and she was a huge help! She was a fast responder and provided us with pictures of the little guy each day so we wouldn't miss him too much. She was even nice enough to bring in our packages for us!!! Highly recommend Valerie.”
“Lindsay did a great job with my cat who required both eye drops and an oral liquid medication everyday. They got along great and I plan to use Lindsay in the future. Ellen R”
“Eran is very nice and responsible person. She took care of our cat Jess for a week, while we went on vacation. She always replied to our calls and messages in very short time, so we knew everything is going well with both Eran and cat. Eran followed up all the instructions, we left (including cat, house and landscaping care). Upon our return we found the healthy cat and super clean house. Excellent service, well done assignment, thank you Eran!”
“Haven is amazing! She is very conscientious, always on time, very communicative and most importantly, she cares very much about the happiness and well being of your pet. She’s the best pet sitter we’ve ever used!”
“I’m very protective with my cats and only trust them with myself, my husband, or my sister. Which makes traveling a very stressful event for me. But Raagini and her husband have been wonderful and I felt confident leaving them in their care. They’re animal lovers and very conscientious and sensitive. I’m glad I found them and will definitely use them again.”
About: My grandparents growing up had 4 dogs that I use to help take care of. My family had a golden retriever so I'm accustomed to a lot of energy from dogs. I currently work part time and I'm not at the point yet where I can own my own dog, so I love spending time with dogs so I thought being able to interact with dogs and make some extra money would be awesome! Allowing them time to get out their energy is a huge part of an animals life. Walks are also a huge part its also good exercise for me and very stimulating for the dog.
