I had a great experience with Morgan who watched my cat, Bowie, while I was away. She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and sent lots of updates and photos which gave me real peace of mind. I appreciated her detailed descriptions of each drop-in visit. You can tell Morgan has lots of experience taking care of cats and knows how to play with them. Bowie loved her as evidenced by the pictures of him making biscuits of her lap. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book again!

Weasley was unexpectedly more difficult to deal with and Annika did not give up on getting him to take his meds. Came home to a clean house and got pictures every day.

Julia took incredibly great care of our dog while we were away on vacation! She was super communicative, which we appreciated so much! I would 100% recommend her if you’re looking for someone to watch your pet while you’re gone. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of and loved on in our absence

I love all pets and will give them plenty of attention while they are in my care. Historically, my love of pets has made it easy for them to reciprocate making for easy connections even with animals who need a little extra love. I am usually strict when it comes to training, but I am also patient and will never do anything to make your pet feel scared or unsafe. Love always comes first and I am very much looking forward to working with you! I am very flexible and can find ample time for care on most work days. I tend to schedule my weekends but feel free to ask and I may be available! When your pet is in my care they will have my attention and will not be left unattended. I do not have pet equipment such as gates, runners, or fencing but will gladly use these items if provided.

Purba did a great job looking after my shy cat. He was well cared for. Purba came by twice a day as I requested and sent nice updates to let me know he was eating, drinking and using his litter box - the important stuff. She also watered my flower boxes, which I really appreciated as everything looks lovely. I would definitely recommend her as a reliable cat sitter.

About: Hello! My name is Brianna, and I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rodents, and many other pets for over 11 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—ever since I was little watching Animal Planet nonstop and even pretending to be a dog myself. Forming a strong, trusting bond with every animal I meet has always come naturally to me. I started out volunteering at an animal rescue walking dogs, and from there my experience grew into consistent dog walking, pet sitting, and caring for all kinds of animals. I’ve watched up to ten pets at once (including 7 chickens, 2 dogs, and a cat) and I’ve worked with: • Off-leash dogs • Basic reinforcement training • Medication administration & inhalers • Anxious, aggressive, and uniquely-tempered pets • Large breeds & hunting dogs • Senior, disabled, and special-needs pets • Free-range chickens • Exotic pets • And much more! I also have professional experience working for a luxury pet care company, which strengthened my skills, reliability, and attention to detail even further. I’m vaccinated, have my own reliables car, and truly love getting to know each pet as an individual. Caring for animals is not just a job for me—it’s a passion, and one day I hope to open my own pet sitting and dog walking business. I would be honored to care for your pet(s) with compassion and a focus on safety. Thank you, and I hope to connect with you soon! :) aside from working in childcare once a week, I would love to fill my schedule spending time with pets, which is my passion. I am also a college student part-time, where the schedule is very flexible. I can only offer pet care in the client’s home. I am unable to board, but do have reliable transportation. I am an avid fan of keeping things safe.

About: I’ve been around dogs lots growing up despite never having one. They’re an absolute treat to be around ! I had worked with a wide variety of dogs when I was working at the following doggy daycares: Crate Escape (worked for 1yr) and Gibsons Natural Pet (worked for 6 months). They had me do some general training with dogs through working with Crate Escape. Along with doing some house/dog sitting for friends of the family and clients from doggy daycares. I treat all animals as if they are my own and give them all the love and attention possible! I work for myself at the moment. So I am very available and more than happy to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby! I’m free Mon-Sun anytime after 9am. I like to make sure every dog I take care of gets 3 walks a day and try to get them tuckered out. Unless they are elderly or have any joint pain, in which case I’d take them for more gentle walks. Of course more than happy to give them lots of love! Love snuggle up with dogs on a couch and taking it easy. After a few visits with your fur baby I like to get them some treats. I’m very detail oriented so if I see your fur baby acting unusual I’ll be sure to let you know! Typically I send photos everyday of your dog. Along with a little blurb update of what we did and how they’re doing. If you would like updates less than that, please let me know! Depending on how long of a stay I’ll usually pickup/clean the space and put it back how you left it.

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.

Sandra was a great caretaker for our 2 cats. She went the extra mile to provide inhalations for our asthmatic cat, check on a scratch and make sure it's healing, give lots of love and playtime. She's easy to correspond with and you can tell she loves cats.
