âWendy cat sat for my cats for a long weekend. I have never had a pet sitter and was a bit nervous at first thinking maybe something could go wrong. I have never been so wrong in my life lol! Wendy was absolutely amazing. She came over before I left and we did an introduction with the cats. Wendy was very caring, so friendly, and genuinely interested in meeting them. We left and Wendy sent pictures at every visit! Even though my cats are shy, she was able to make them feel comfortable enough to come out and play and sit with her. She made sure the litter boxes were clean and fed them exactly how they needed to be fed. I canât say enough good things about Wendy. I am so happy with her I am booking her again! If you want an amazing, caring, and professional pet sitter, look no further than Wendy. She is the best there is!â

âElaine is an amazing sitter! My cat is a senior cat and shy around new people but she was very patient with him and took great care of him and by the end of the stay he was coming out for her. She is prompt and efficient and gives great reports, which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again soon!â

âI don't think Annelise ever really saw our kitty, she's very shy, but she tried! Calliope has good hiding spots! Nevertheless, she took care of her as best she could and we're thankful for her.â

âMax W. did an outstanding job taking care of our cats. Wyatt and Winter are rescue cats and can be skittish around strangers. Max has a wonderful touch and quickly earned the trust of both of them. Since it often takes much longer for cats to feel comfortable with new people, we were especially grateful that Max made them feel safe and at ease while we were away. The care was perfect, and we will absolutely book Max again for our next trip!â

âFen is an amazing petsitter! She took great care of my cat while I was away, and left really nice summaries of each visit, with multiple pictures and details. She was also super kind and accommodating, even though I booked on short notice. Thank you so much, Fen!â

âSophia was amazing with my cat! They became very fast friends even though my cat doesnât usually get along that well with new people. She took very good care of her while we were out, including a detailed daily report with lots of pictures. Booking her was a great decision as I was fully confident that my cat was in good hands on my trip. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for cat care.â

âLois is a God sent saint! I had a family emergency with little time to execute, two kitties to watch and five days of travel! Furthermore, Lois had to coordinate with my apartment manager for access. Lois took all these issues in stride and did a drop-in check up on the kitties without incident! If I have another unforeseen travel event, I will absolutely contact Lois first! You should too!â

About: Iâve grown up with 3 pups of my own who are back home in Philadelphia while Iâm in medical school! My roommate of 4 years had a senior cat of her own, so I am well versed in the needs of both cats and dogs. :) Iâm currently in medical school, so my days and nights are flexible! Dropping in on some furry friends or spending the night with them is something Iâd love to be able to do when not studying :) Iâll treat your pets like my own! Theyâll get all the hugs, kisses, and snuggles - whatever they need. Safety is my priority and they will be treated like family.
âEmily is the best! She totally connected with my cat on a level that I have not seen. My cat adores her!!! She sent me cute pictures of them all snuggled up together and I knew we had picked the right person! Emily also kept me well informed of daily activities and any concerns she had. I had no worries knowing she was with our cat. She is official our new girl when we take vacations. Thank you Emily for being so thorough and loving to our little girl!â

âThis is my first time using Rover and Tom made it a great experience. He was an excellent communicator and took such good care of my fur baby. Casper seemed to thoroughly enjoy his time with Tom and definitely made a new friend. đ I'll definitely be referring to Tom again for any future visits or sitting. I absolutely recommend you do the same!â

âGreat sitter! Alexandria is attentive to instruction, kind, communicative, and great with animals. She took extra time to play with my cats and cleaned up any litter box mess.â

âWe are return clients of Erika's. She takes extra care to sit patiently with our girl to make sure she knows someone is with her. Will definitely be booking with Erika again!â

About: Iâm an animal lover with hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I provide a fun, safe, and loving environment whether your dog needs a quick walk or a drop-in visit. I truly treat every dog like my own. I'm currently taking my last two classes online to graduate so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week to care for your loved ones. I care for dogs in their own homes to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all routines, use secure leashes for walks, and always prioritize safety. I will even provide updates and photos, so you never have to worry while youâre away.
âCelia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. đ¤ Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.â

Lois did an incredible job taking care of my trio of cats while my daughter and I were visiting family. She was attentive and professional, and showed both knowledge and care of handling animals from the time she was introduced to my pets and home all of the way through the last visit. She went above and beyond what I expected. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Kia did a wonderful job. She even fed my fish and took the time to brush my cat which is so important to her. She sent me great pictures as well. Really enjoyed my vacation so much more because Kia always updated me on how things were going with my pets. Will definitely use her again.
