Eleanor is great! Lister needed some drop in visits and warmed up to her pretty quick. She even took him for a walk around the block and was quite intuitive about when Lister was in a mood to walk and when not. Great communication! Would definitely book again

Amanda is lovely and a clear animal lover. She will take time out of her day to have a meet-and-greet prior to the visits, and make sure she understand you and your pets needs. She is also great about letting you know the details of each visit, including how your pet is generally doing (energy and affection levels). Thanks so much, Amanda!

About: My schedule is quite open and I can be quite flexible depending on your sitting needs, as I recently graduated with my Masters and am on the job hunt. I am primarily available weekdays during the business day, but don't hesitate to ask about evenings and weekends as well. First and foremost, I make sure to respect your wishes for where your pet is allowed to go and which activities you want me to engage with with your cat. I am happy to make sure your cats are fed and watered, have been given their medications, or have just been given a little bit of attention!

Bonnie was an absolute lifesaver during the blizzard. When our flight got cancelled, Bonnie made sure that our cat would have food even if she couldn’t make it over during the storm. She kept us updated every step of the way. Bonnie truly cares about the pets she’s taking care of, and we knew that Scully was in good hands despite all the unforeseen circumstances. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
