1. Orion & Alex M.

“Orion and Alex were very kind and professional when I reached out about drop-in visits with Collins. I had never worked with a pet sitter before, and they were very gracious about all of my questions and the detailed instructions I left. Orion provided updates and pictures for me each time he and Alex visited my apartment, and they took the time to try and socialize with my sweet, yet somewhat, standoffish cat. I definitely plan to book time with Orion and Alex again!”

“Karina has a deep love and care for animals. She is an exceptional cat mom and was a dedicated foster dog mom. Her compassionate, responsible, and gentle nature makes her incredible with animals. She thoroughly enjoyed taking our foster dog on walks and was passionate about training, always eager to teach new tricks.”


3. AUTUMN H.
About: I love to take care of pets! I am home working in our yard, garden, with our chickens, cooking, generally creating a millennial grandma cozy cottage. I always say there are a few things that make a house a home - animals, plants, and good kitchen smells. We have a dog and a couple cats running around, and, much like our kids enjoy having all the friends come to visit us so that our house is bustling with love! I have to say that I do not allow pets on furniture but worry not; all furry visitors have lots of soft spaces to snuggle, a large fenced-in yard to run about (maybe dig a hole to relax in the the sunshine?), love, attention, treats galore. I am not afraid of larger animals, and I can keep those separate that are either feeling feisty around new friends or shy until acclimation in our fenced patio within the yard. I keep a good eye on everyone, I'm patient with accidents, and its no sweat to accommodate special needs. Please let us enjoy hosting your family at ours, making our house a home. Other than taking my children to and from school, I am home. Additionally, my partner and children are six more eyes, hugging arms & throwing balls. I accommodate my clients' requests and always aim to over-deliver. I am happy to send photos and videos throughout our play date, and respond to questions in a very timely manner.


4. Bekka A.

“Bekka watched my two cats while I was away. One of my cats has some separation anxiety, but thanks to Bekka when I returned he seemed such calmer and happier than he usually does when I go away. She took great care of both cats. I highly recommend Bekka as a pet sitter!”


5. Alie S.

“Alie is excellent! She was amazing with Maya & Henry. They can be difficult to deal with because they have different temperaments and both want undivided attention of course, but she was fantastic. Very sweet and gentle with them, and spent a good amount of time walking and playing with them. I will absolutely book her again anytime I need a puppy sitter!”




6. Brittany N.

“My cat Watson is a shy kitty and her first instinct to strangers is always hiding. Brittany was very patient with her and got Watson to warm up to her : ) Brittany is awesome and I very much appreciated her! Will definitely book her again next time when I'm out of town.”


7. Anastasia N.

“Ana was awesome!!!! She sent me multiple pictures of my cats throughout my vacation. She was very attentive to them and made sure my special needs cat took his medicine. She was very patient with his antics and made sure he ate his food and was comfortable. She even sent a few videos of them happily purring which was unexpected as they typically avoid strangers. I highly recommend her and would feel safe leaving my cats in her care again.”


8. Jolene P.
“Jolene is amazing with all animals. She is attentive and loving with our dogs. Very responsible and we never have to worry about their care.”


9. RAYN E S.
“I have worked with Rayn for many years at an animal sanctuary and she is kind and patient with our dogs, many of whom have severe behavioral and/or medical needs. Your pup will be safe in her care!”


10. Thomas P.

“Thomas did a great job with my 2 cats. They are very shy creatures, and don’t come out of hiding for most of the sitters that I have tried, but they were very friendly for him and got lots of snuggles. It is good to know that I have a reliable cat sitting option who my cats really like.”


11. Tiffany R.
“Tiffany's attention to detail assures me that Kooshina will be well cared for when I'm gone for a night or two, or more. She really connects with my cat, and not only feeds her as directed, and cleans her litter box, but she'll spend quality time playing with her, interacting or just being. She sends pictures and shares their adventures! My plants even get attention and water, when she cat-sits! As a dog and cat, and turtle and fish parent, Tiffany knows how to talk to the animals! Her kindness and genuine love for animals shows up for the assignment.”


12. Wushi P.
“Wushi is a very good at take care of pet. He truly loves animals. Their kindness, attention to detail, and dedication make them a trustworthy choice for any pet owner.”


13. Heather F.


“Another fabulous sitting job by Heather. She goes the extra mile to try and play/socialize with my skiddish, shy kitties, always letting them take the lead. The daily updates and photos really make time away more enjoyable. Heather is definitely the person you want caring for your pets when you can’t. Thanks again Heather”


14. Emmanuel A.
About: Ive been taking Ghost for 3 years now. In the past I’ve helped friends take care of their pets. This is a opportunity for me to learn more about pet caregiving. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine and is a source of joy, companionship, and responsibility. For example, each morning and evening there is a time for Ghost and I to eat feed, walk, and play. Other tasks, such as grooming or administering medication, may be performed on a more infrequent basis. I like to know what basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter, as well as regular exercise, grooming, and playtime are for each pet. Depending on the type of pet, it may also involve providing medical care and regular check-ups.


15. Luis T.
About: I have had the privilege of taking care of a toy poodle and mini poodle for the last five years. I have spent the last two summers watching over my cousins two dog as well. I have relocated and am now to far from the pups. Looking forward to being able to play and care for yours! I currently have a full-time position between the hours of 10am-4pm but my office is down the hall from where I live so I can always check on your pet! I am free most weeknights and weekends as well! I live in a decent sized two-bedroom apartment, with the guest bedroom being used for the pups I watch. I love to go for walks and go to the park so your pup will get tons of exercise and fun. My girlfriend does spend weekends with me which we enjoy watching movies so your pup will get a lot of quality time and snuggles as well!


16. Lucas B.
“I love my animals more than anything in the world. Lucas has been my go to person when it comes to watching my cats when I am away for years. He has come on short notice when I’ve had family emergencies, and stopped in when one of my cats was very sick without hesitation. There is absolutely no one I trust more than him when it comes to the welfare of my animals. I would recommend Lucas to anyone without a second thought. He will care for and love your animals as if they were his own.”


17. Olivia J.

“Olivia watched our 2 cats for a week and she was absolutely great! She sent us daily pictures of them and let us know everything that was going on! Highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again next time we go on vacation!”


18. BETSY G.
About: I have had my own cats and dogs since 1998. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes. I have reliable transportation and a super flexible schedule. I am newly retired so I am available all different times of the day. I can help with your pets feeding and exercise schedule when you are away I can drop in most any time if day to check on your pet, provide potty breaks, play time, and walks as needed while you are unavailable.


19. Hattie G.
“I have known Hattie for many years and being a caregiver is in her nature. I see it in the way she cares for her children, other family members, and friends, and also in how she cares for her animals (which of course, ARE her family, too!). Just the other day, we were outside and spotted a small toad in the grass. Hattie very gingerly picked it up and moved it to a safe spot. That is just one small example of how big of an animal lover she is. Hattie is very responsible and trustworthy. I would trust her to watch my pets any day, any time, as should you!”
