Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!

Joanna is an angel sent from heaven!!!!! We were in a horrible pinch and desperate for a sitter after plans fell through for Christmas Day last minute and she came through. She was incredibly understanding of chaotic circumstances (to say the least) and extremely flexible. One of our pups is very timid and shy and we weren’t sure how it would go but she easily befriended her and treated her with kindness and respect. She sent us frequent updates with pictures which put us at ease. I cannot speak more highly of her. Book her today!!!

About: One of the first things people notice about me is how animals are drawn to me. For some reason I was the only person who could sit my cousin's dog, who wanted to bite everyone else. Odds are good your pet will make a new friend while you're away. I'm currently between full-time jobs, which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule to meet the needs of clients, whether it's just dropping in or a long-term stay. My apartment has a very cat-friendly setup, though obviously most cats prefer staying on their own turf. For dogs, I'll need to come to you.

We were in search of last minute help taking care of our kitty and very glad to have found Catherine! During her drop-in visits, Cat communicated clearly with detailed and timely updates. Cat respected our property by following instructions and taking her shoes off inside our home. We will definitely hire Cat again and highly recommend her services.
