“Thank you so much for cat sitting again! We always come home to find our cat very happy and well cared for by Teri. We always appreciate the daily updates and photos too :)”

“Swagata did a great job looking after my cat! She is very accommodating, this was kind of a last minute booking request but she was generous enough to take Jojo in. My cat Jojo is very shy around strangers, but Swagata was able to become friends with him so easily! My cat had such a pleasant stay with her. I will definitely recommend her!!”

“Millie had a great time with Liliana. She was caring and fun. Liliana helped me out in a pinch and was able to drop in on Millie at the last minute. I'd definitely work with Liliana again.”

“Perfect communication and follow through. Danielle even got a pic of my scaredy cat hiding under the bed which is as close as Mo lets strangers get to her! Just one check in visit over a weekend away but I would definitely use her again.”

“Sophia is so great! I will continue to check with her first whenever we go out of town. She takes such great care of the animals and the house and her communication is top tier.”

“Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!”

About: Since being owned by 7 cats ,I specialize in outstanding cat care,always aware of changing health, feeding habits or mood.That being said, dogs are my other passion and I was loved by a scotty and 2 collies of my own along with many different breeds I have cared for outside of my home .My special skill is paying close attention which has improved the life of senior dogs by finding innovative feeding styles and wound /illness attentiveness. I am a jewelry and bead designer and have a flexible schedule as most of my shows are online.This opens my days to loving pet care, last minute feeding needs or walks with dogs. I have cared for many pets in their people's home over the years and have handled every situation with care and integrity.It makes me happy to interact with owners during their time away when I know they miss their darlings.Photos and comments always assure owners and show how happy their pets are in my care.

I’m so excited to start walking all the 4 legged friends that come across my path. If they have less than 4 that’s absolutely fine too! ♥️💕 NOTICE: I am not available to do mornings on weekdays..

Saturday and Sundays are open (anytime) I have a fenced home with my little guy (Yorkie+Maltese Mix 8lbs) to keep your fur baby company I can always keep my pup crated if necessary.
“Brittany has been excellent as usual. She checked my cats teeth and the health of her legs. I had no idea she had arthritis in that area. If you want a nurse and fun companion for your let, Brittany is the one!”
“Nicole did an outstanding job taking care of my cat while I was away! She was consistent in making sure his food, litter, and other necessities were well taken care of. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which assured me that everything was going smoothly. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and I could tell he had been in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely trust her with my cat again in the future!”

“Toni has watched our cats many times now and is always stellar, but this most recent time specifically she went above and beyond when our apartment flooded while were abroad! She helped dry up our apartment and met with maintenance, and made sure the cats were all okay!! Toni is simply awesome and has gone far and above to take care of our cat who has some complicated needs medication-wise. Thank you Toni!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs, cats, and many other furry and scaly animals in my homes. Usually multiple at the same time! I do extensive research to make sure my pets get the best care they could have. I am also in college to be a veterinarian to further my knowledge. I am currently working for some delivery apps, so I will always be driving around on most days, during the day and when the sun starts to go down. It would be awesome to work the day, and stop by a few times to get my pet fix. Extra bonus if I would watch overnight when it starts to get dark! Saturday night and Sunday day is for family. I am currently doing some research on dog training/care, as I am getting my own dog in the summer! All my other pets are in great health. In your own home, I assure to be patient and use problem solving skills to meet the needs of your fur baby! I am also great at communication, so I will always keep you in the loop:)
“Tiffany was amazing! She is an excellent communicator and very patient with elderly animals. I was so nervous about leaving my 16 year old cat, with stage 2 kidney disease, home alone with all the meds he takes and his ability to be stubborn about taking them. Tiffany worked so well with him and I felt at ease and able to relax and enjoy my time away. My two 2-year old girls also loved her. I HIGHLY recommend Tiffany and will use her for all my future pet sitting needs!”

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of animals of all types for most of my life. I’m always the person everyone in my life comes to first to take care of their dogs/cats/birds/etc. when they’re leaving town, or just want someone to check in on the animals. I’ve always loved dogs and used to volunteer every weekend at shelters helping to take care of the dogs there. Reach out and I’d love to answer any questions you have! My schedule is very flexible right now, so it’s easy for me to be able to drop in to check on your animals. I can usually make it out to your home within a few hours. I won’t be boarding animals in my own home, as I live in an apartment with two of my own cats, however I am always the first to think about safety in your home. Animals will always be leashed outside and if dogs are at all reactive we won’t be walking too near any other people/dogs. If you have specific concerns just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate!
“Isabella did a great job caring for my two boys while I was away for a few days. She checked in daily with updates and adorable pictures - it was clear my babies took to her immediately which gave me such peace of mind. She was kind enough to water my balcony full of plants for me and kept the house super tidy, I could barely tell she was here it was so nice. Thank you Isabella for being so amazing!”
