James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.

Kaitlin was great! My cat always gets mad at me when I leave but a lot less so this time. Kaitlin engaged Coco during the meet and greet and I could tell she was happy during their visit from the photos. Will definitely book Kaitlin again!

About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 🫰 I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexible—request me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!

About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.

I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)

I was so anxious about leaving my two cats for several days but Avery made me feel so much more comfortable with it! She was kind, responsive, provided great photos and detailed updates, and she even went the extra mile to help with window closing/opening when it was raining and very hot. I am very grateful for her and her care for my animals. Absolutely would book her again. Thanks Avery!!

This is the second time Eleanor has watched the kitties!! She is so attentive with them and ensures everything is as they need it. The cats are so comfortable wit her! Eleanor also saved me when the roof above litter room decided to leak while I was gone - she ensured the water was taken care of and arranged everything so that it minimized any impact until I arrived home that evening - so thankful!
