I highly recommend Katie to everyone!!”

“Arturo has been amazing watching my cat Basil. He makes sure that she is fed at the right time, the litter box is clean, there is enough water in the bowl, and he makes sure to give my cat plenty of pets. She’s usually shy around people who aren’t me, but she likes Arturo so that’s a win in my book! Would definitely recommend for pet sitting!”

18. Clarissa S.
“A few weeks ago Clarissa took care of my very timid kitty, Clementine. She was lovely! She was very patient with him and really took the time to make him feel comfortable with her. Then, while I was on vacation, she sent photos of Clementine with frequent updates. She went over every day for a few hours to play with Clementine. Once I got home, I even saw that there were youtube videos for cats on the TV (LOL). She was perfect, I felt very comfortable knowing that she was caring for him in my absence.”


19. Alexus W.
“My granddaughter is a great dogsitter and catsitter and has taken care of my 5 dogs from time to time. She has provided care for my dog of old age, Max, with medicine for his cataracts. She has also fostered in a few labrador puppies feeding them formula, giving a flea bath, and taking them in for their shots. I recommend her as she loves animals and is a hard worker.”


20. Layla S.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born. I’ve taken care of all types of dogs from chihuahuas to 75 pound rottweilers. I love both cuddles and playtime, and can’t wait to meet your pet! I’m working part time currently, so I have lots of time to give your pups some love. I’m available throughout the week and weekend for whatever your family’s needs may be. Since I love animals so much, I’m extremely vigilant with them. I’ll want them by my side as often as possible, for both their safety and to give them the attention they deserve.
