“Lisa took such great care of my shy cat while we were away, and her daily updates helped calm my anxiety of leaving my cat. She followed my instructions carefully and left the house in the same condition we left it. Plus, she watered the plants! I will be using her again!”

“Kamy was a great pet-sitter for our 3 cats while we were away! She was able to give our older cat her regular medication and also spent plenty of time with her as well as our 2 younger cats.

7. Mary Quinn M.
“Quinn has looked after three cats for me, in two different locations, as well as my dog. She always did an excellent job at being responsive to their needs, provided them with proper attention, and has taken excellent care of them. My dog always came home from walks with her in great spirits, having fully gotten his fill of the park before heading back to the apartment. You would be hard-pressed to find a better person to look after your pet. She's also a great communicator, taking plenty of photos. Whenever she's looked after my pets, it always felt like I haven't even left them!”

Both dependable and caring, Henry goes above and beyond to ensure a happy and safe environment for our dog.”
16. Vanessa B.
About: As someone who grew up with two German Shepherds for over ten years, I love caring for all furry animals! I have dog- and cat-sat for friends and family in the past. Most recently, I was a sitter for a family that has two medium-sized dogs. About a year ago my family adopted a German Shepherd who has exocrine pancreatic sufficiency so I’ve also gained experience in managing care for pets with complex dietary and medical needs while making sure they feel loved! No animal is too big or small - I would be excited to be your pet’s next best friend! During the summer, I work remotely 4 days of the week. This means I can happily play, walk, and/or visit your pet during the day. I can also do sittings and longer visits during the weekends. As someone who grew up with dogs, I always observe body language and movements to make sure that the pup (or kitty) is comfortable with me approaching them or before doing any action (e.g., petting them, giving them food, walking them, taking them outside, playing with them, etc.). Taking care of your pet is an honor that I will regard with the high respect it deserves. I will make sure to follow any of your instructions or preferences when caring for your pet!
17. Emmajane M.
“Emmjane did an amazing job of taking care of our two cats over the course of a 2 and a half week trip! she posted pictures every visit, was extremely responsive and made a wonderful effort to get to know our cats and spend time with them. We highly recommend her and will certainly be reaching out to her for future visits!”
18. Merina S.
About: I’ve had a family dog since 2018 who I love more than life. I also recently got my own cat who has changed my view on how sweet they are 💜 I currently work from home 80% of the week and am free on weekends. This shouldn’t interfere with my current schedule but rather fill it in. My home is not equipped - it’s an apartment. I have no problem following any/all rules. The goal is to maintain the best, safest environment for your pet!
19. abbi g.
“Abbi did a great job stepping in last minute to look after my kitty, Cho. She spent time getting to know Cho during her visits and sent me cute photos of them playing. I recommend Abbi as a very responsible kitty sitter!”
20. Jessica A.
“Jessica is very nice and my dogs are well taken care of with her. I was really nervous to find a caretaker that I didn’t know, but it’s been great and we will definitely continue asking her to care for our pups.”
