Alyssa was so kind and thorough. She was detailed in her updates about the cats mood and welfare, and spent time with them during each visit. My house was immaculate- and she fulfilled every expectation promised and went the extra mile. She is highly highly recommended.🙏

I have nothing but praise for Shannon. She was eager to help with care of our house as well as care of Junia. She sent each “report card” so punctually after every drop-in visit that we never had to worry about anything. I hope she will be available the next time we have to go away.

We have used Carole several times now to look after our two tuxedo cats and we cannot recommend her enough! She’s always on time, she spends a ton of time making our cats feel loved, and is just the best! Seriously, I cannot think of someone I trust more with my cats.

Susie was a phenomenal cat sitter - she was attentive to all of Mocha's needs and was playful and comforting to her throughout the visit. The frequent photos and updates were so appreciated. Mocha got along with her immediately and had a wonderful time while I was away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for taking care of Mocha on short notice and for treating her so well!

Isabelle did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were traveling! She was very responsive on chat, and took amazingly cute photos of our boy during each check-in (I seriously don't know how she captured so many with him sticking his tongue out). We also really appreciate her flexibility with scheduling a last-minute meet-and-greet prior to our trip. Highly recommended and would totally book again.

About: Hi! I offer loving, reliable in-home dog boarding where your pup will be treated like part of the family. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, care, and affection. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just cozy cuddles, your dog will be safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, as I structure my days around the needs of the pets in my home. From morning feedings and walks/playtime to evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to provide frequent check-ins, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I maintain a clean, safe environment and stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy every day. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks/litter box care, exercise, and rest to help them feel at ease. Dogs get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, while cats have a calm space with cozy areas to relax, along with play and interaction on their terms.

Zhao was far away the best rover we’ve ever had. We have had more than five sitters over the years and she was the best of all. She went above and beyond in her care, attention to detail, and responsiveness to my directions. Her deep care and love for animals comes across. We have a very timid and anxious Cat, and Zhao was able to skillfully connect with her.

Priety has been our go-to kitty sitter for 10 years now. It's such a gift to have that constancy for us and our cats. She is a caring and thoughtful sitter and we trust her totally to watch our guys when we're out of town.

Betsy was really great with our two cats! She offered to do a meet and greet before her visit so she could ask questions and get to know the cats. She was clearly very experienced with cats and let them take the lead on things, which helped them get comfortable. We went out of town for a week and she did a great job following our instructions, and gave us thorough updates with pictures. We came back to two happy cats!

Amazing experience!! Seiko is the best! This was our first time using a cat sitter so we were a bit nervous, but Seiko is so kind and caring, it immediately put us at ease. She was super reliable and thorough, taking care of everything Toast needed and spending time playing and bonding with her at each visit. Toasty is a fairly timid cat, especially around new people, but she was comfortable with Seiko surprisingly quickly! We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that Toasty was in great hands. Seiko sent detailed updates and adorable pics each time as well, which were so reassuring and fun to look through while we were away. Would highly recommend her to anyone- we can’t thank you enough, Seiko!!

Shannon did a wonderful job taking care of our cat! From the moment she came over for a meet and greet prior to cat sitting, Shannon was very warm and caring and had a great rapport with our cat. When we were away she was excellent about coming at the agreed upon time and sending pictures, reporting on our cat, and even bringing in packages. Shannon was great in general at communicating with us—very responsive, friendly, and professional—and we felt assured our cat was in good hands with her. We would definitely recommend Shannon for cat sitting!
