Top rated Westwood cat sitters
“Chrissy is very caring and thoughtful and absolutely an animal lover! She always stays in touch and updates about my cats. Definitely a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”
“Ruth was fantastic. Everything was clean and tidy when we came back and our cats were totally fine as if we had never left! I highly recommend Ruth.”
“Francesca was wonderful. She communicated clearly and posted great pictures assuring me that my cat who doesn’t warm up to people easily was doing great and getting lots of pets while I was away for a week. Highly recommend Francesca!”
“Ellie was very nice and arrived punctual on her initial visit to meet my cat Sinbad before the cat sitting was to begin. Though my cat tends to be skittish with most strangers, she knew to be quiet and not make sudden movements to make him feel at ease. And during her visits, he came out and didn't stay hidden, so he must have felt comfortable with her around. And most importantly, Ellie took the initiative to set up a follow up visit to return my house key to me after I had returned from my trip. I would definitely book Ellie again if she is available on any of my future trips away.”
“Maureen is very responsive and detail oriented. She took the time to provide an additional visit when one of my cats was being evasive to provide peace of mind while I was away.”
“Kim was super prompt, gave my kitty space when she needed it and followed the detailed instructions I had left for getting my cat her pill! Will definitely book again!”
“Anhelika did an excellent job watching my two cats! They need to take a probiotic, and Anhelika did a wonderfuk job of making sure they received it daily. I alsl loved the pictures she sent!”
“Amber is a great person that is kind and caring. This is the first time I have left my cats with someone that isn’t family; she definitely made the experience positive and I know I will be calling her in the future.”
“The boys were taken care of and well loved by Rebecca! I recieved progress pictures and came home to happy pups. I very much appreciated her staying with them on very short notice and on Christmas. Will absolutely call on her again.”

“Kristine did an amazing job taking care of my challenging Homestead! we went away for one week and came back to healthy animals and well cared for gardens. We are so grateful for Kristine‘s careful attention to our beloved pets and garden.”
“James is great!! I love seeing how happy my dog is after spending just a half an hour with him. The rover cards give me piece of mind when I have to be away at work. James is always on time and thoroughly communicates with us. Thanks for taking such good care of Charlie!”
“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”
“Today Natasha finished a second week of pet sitting our 4 cats. She did a wonderful job, providing an update with pictures each day. Everything was in great shape upon our return, including our 4 relaxed felines”
“As usual Hillary did a great job taking care of my old man cat who needs extra TLC and an array of medications. Thankful he is in good hands while we’re gone!”
“Grace responded quickly to my request and was patient with me while I had a crazy day when my normal sitters were not available! She followed all the instructions perfectly after a quick phone call and I could tell my kitty was happy with how quiet he was when I got home! Truly appreciative of sitters like Grace who can make themselves available in times like this and would definitely use her again! Dusty would be happy to see you :)”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals—my family has a Samoyed, a golden retriever, and a black lab, so I’m no stranger to different breeds and sizes. In college, I regularly walked and house-sat for a few families, and I love staying active by taking dogs on long walks. I’m outgoing, clean, and organized, and I’d love to help care for your pup! I’m currently home for the summer before starting my full time job in September. I have full availability and would love to help with your pet’s needs. I’m experienced and comfortable caring for pets in others’ homes as well as walking dogs of various sizes and breeds, including large and high-energy dogs. I also live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and trails and have a friendly and outgoing 2 year old Samoyed at home.
“Love Kendall. Very flexible, attentive and caring! Updates were sent along side Pictures! Could not be happier! My mind was at ease knowing that Kendall and her family were watching my pets with the same care as if I were home! Thank you:)”
“You did a great job Meagan, thank you for looking after our pets!”
About: I am an avid dog lover. Sometimes I'll take my mother's place and walk the dogs she's been assigned to look after. Walking other people's dogs brings me joy, and meeting all kinds of dogs is always a blessing. Cats too! I have owned cats all my life and also own a dog. I am a college student now so I don't get to be with my dog that much anymore. I would walk your dog as if he/she was my own. I will be able to give your pups plenty of attention and TLC at your convenience. I will do this by fitting into your pet’s schedule and caring for them as needed. I will follow specific instructions given by you. I will provide dog-walking and pet care services in the comfort of your home. I can give your dog a joyride to the dog park or the waterfront for a little escape from home.
