Cat was so great watching our cats for a few days on somewhat late notice. She was attentive to messages and gave frequent updates. When we came back our cats were completely unbothered by us being gone for the long weekend! Would recommend and use again.

Excellent communication regarding my elderly, disabled dog, so that I knew exactly how she was doing throughout the day. I felt Angelee genuinely cared about her, and erased all stress on both sides with her gentle, thoughtful care.

I cannot say enough get things about Kylie. She was prompt, great with communication, flexible, but most important my dog loves her. He was genuinely happier on days he saw Kylie and that is invaluable. Thank you so much Kylie! ❤️

Sara is the best!! I could not have asked for a better pet sitter while I was away for Thanksgiving. She was very polite and responsive throughout our experience which was very appreciated. She sent plenty of pictures of my Gino, and I know he greatly appreciated the playtime and socializing. She was wonderful overall and I will absolutely be booking with her next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you Sara :))

Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3

Kara went above and beyond to take care of our cat Mango, she even made sure to have a meet up before starting with the visits. I like how attentive she was, she sent tons of pictures and a very detailed summary of the visits, we’ll definitely contact Kara as our cat sitter again in the future! She’s great and I fully recommend her to anyone.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with experience ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and hermit crabs. I’m comfortable caring for pets in all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and basic training reinforcement to senior dogs who may require extra attention, slower walks, medication support, or mobility assistance. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I understand that each animal has a different personality and routine, and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I am currently in grad school, so my daily schedule is a little wonky. My days usually start around 8 am and end at 4 pm. Besides that I am wide open to care for your pet and I will be able to stop by during breaks in my days! I am more than comfortable to crate animals if needed. I am attentive and caring, the same levels I would wish someone would give my own pet.

Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!

Jeff was an awesome sitter for my cat, Dusty! He is a great communicator, and it was clear from the start of our interactions that he is a true cat lover! Dusty is an older cat with a history of diabetes, so the timing of her meals is important. Jeff came by for a “meet and greet” before I left and was so reliable while I was away, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation. His pictures and updates always made me smile. Jeff did a great job of taking care of Dusty! It was clear from his pictures that he and Dusty made fast friends. Jeff also went out of his way to contact my neighbors and building maintenance when a leak appeared in my bathroom ceiling. I was on the plane flying home and unreachable, and Jeff handled the situation as a good friend would have, going above and beyond…. I am so grateful for Jeff’s care for Dusty and my place! I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks for your time and efforts, Jeff!! ?

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.

Shannon was amazing with my 2 cats. One had been abused before we adopted her and is extremely non-social and very skittish. After a few days he was able to give her a little pet which is just a testament to the care he took with her.He sent great information and pics and I could not have asked for anyone better. Great communication, punctual, went above and beyond, highly recommend!
