About: I’ve spent my whole life living with and caring for all sorts of animals! I have lots of experience with special needs animals and giving them medications! I’ve worked with animals all sorts of ages and with many different personalities! I’m currently a barista and can typically stop by in the early mornings before work and spend my afternoons/nights caring for your furry friends! I have 2 cats of my own and I do prefer staying with them throughout the night but can make arrangements if needed! Both of my kitties are very spoiled and get lots of love and attention. We love to cuddle and play, and they always get their meds right on time! They get fed twice a day and have routine vet visits so I know they’re in good health and up to date on all vaccines! My cats are 15 and 4 and they mean the absolute world to me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for 9 years now. I have experience in taking care of large and small dogs, those with disabilities, and those as young as 10 weeks. I am a college student taking 2 online classes this summer, so on a normal day I have full availability. Will edit if anything changes! At your home, I make sure to give the pets my full attention, and follow any given instructions. I’m good at reading animals’ emotions so I can understand when they need some space or want to play or be pet. I also enjoy to send photos to the owner to help bring them comfort.

Baily H.
“Baily is a fantastic caregiver for any animal, she’s highly attentive of her own two cats (especially her elderly lady cat goose) and cares for them with a level of attentiveness and patience that astounds me. She is always thinking of the needs and comfort of animals around her, and is always there to give her sweet babies medicine / the care that they need. Her commitment and devotion that your fur baby matches the same care of her own, your lucky little companion is not only gonna have a good day, routines followed and all the pets and lovins, but Baily is going to be doing it! She’s very easygoing and super friendly, highly communicative and down to earth. Hands down the best choice for your animals care!”
Estrella N.
“Estrella is a natural with animals. She is patient with my dogs who both have their own issues and they both took to her right away! She is very communicative and sends many updates with pictures which is so reassuring when you’re away and miss them so much. I highly recommend Estrella for any owner who is looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and hands-on care taker!”

Liz was an awesome sitter! I could tell she cared about my cats and spent time to play with them and make sure they were okay. She sent lots of pictures and did not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!
I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a pet sitter. He went above and beyond handling all my requests and providing tips on toys to help me tire out my rambunctious kittens. He also included pics of them playing which brightened up my day while I was away.
I had to go out of town last minute and booked Becca to watch my 2 kitties. She stopped by my house before I left to make sure she knew where everything was and meet my kitties which I appreciated. Becca was so sweet very responsive while I was gone. She made sure my fur babies were well taken care of and sent pics every day. I trust her and will book her anytime I go out of town going forward. Becca also has dogs of her own soI highly recommend booking her for either dog or cat sitting. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!!
I can’t say enough great things about Jon-Luc! He cared for my 2 year old cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was cared and loved for while I was away for a week. You can tell he genuinely loves animals and taking care of them comes naturally. He took the extra time to give me thoughtful updates which makes missing your fur baby much easier. Thank you, Jon-Luc!
Griffin is absolutely wonderful! He is magic with cats - he got my girl cat who hates everyone to love him! He attends to my cats needs and I can rest and relax when I’m gone knowing they are in great hands with Griffin. This is my second time using Griffin as a sitter, and I’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future.
