Cat Sitters in Palmetto, FL

Diane & Bill

Diane and Bill were wonderful sitters for our princess feline Katie. It was great to meet them the evening before I left for my trip and appreciated that they could drive me to the station the morning of my departure. Katie does not normally warm up to strangers easily, but she was comfortable with Bill and Diane, as evident in her very "chill" behavior when I returned. I also very much appreciated their attention to my garden and plants, keeping them all watered during a dry spell, so that I could continue to enjoy them upon my return. Bed linens and towels were washed and the house left clean and tidy. Communications, logistics and coordination were all excellent. Diane and Bill would be welcome back again anytime!

Hannah

Hannah was such a lovely sitter! She took such great care of your boys and kept us updated she also was super sweet and thoughtful, she took out trash and cleaned our bedding without us asking, she also baked us something special which was so amazing to come home to after a long flight! Our boys seemed so happy and content when we arrived home. Highly recommend Hannah!

Lauren

Lauren is amazing!! Our kitties felt instantly at ease with her, even the one who takes a few more days to feel comfortable around new people. Our house was spotless, she even went out of her way to wash the towels and sheets she used (which we were not expecting at all!). We received nearly daily updates about our kitties, including photos and videos, and she handled them like a pro when they got into hissing matches. We came back to two really happy kitties. I'm super grateful she was the one taking care of them. You can't find a better sitter, really. Thank you for everything, Lauren. Let us know when you're back in town!!

Dena & Dennis

Dena was a fabulous sitter! I appreciated her updates via text that included great pics of my sweet pup. My home was spotless when I returned. Grateful for the care and help Dena provided while I was away! Definitely recommend!

KELSEY

Kelsey was a wonderful guest. I know that she took great care of my pooches and this was highlighted by how sad they were when she left. Kelsey is welcome back anytime and I very much hope that she does.

Jennifer

“We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer as our cat sitter for Zeke and Zoey. She went above and beyond in maintaining our apartment’s cleanliness and was fantastic at keeping us informed about our furry friends. Jennifer is undoubtedly a top choice, and we would be thrilled to have her back. Anyone lucky enough to have her as a sitter is in great hands!”

Julie & Robert

Julie and Robert were great hosts. They left our place incredibly clean. After the original ‘booking’ we had to change our travel dates due to work and they were so incredibly flexible to help us out. Our dogs can sometimes have separation anxiety and I could tell by their dispositions they were well cared for by very loving folks. Highly recommend Julie and Robert as house sitters!!

Dominic

Dominic did a great job caring for Vez and Walrus. He left the place exactly how I left it (always appreciated!) and clearly enjoyed watching the cats. Dominic is welcome back anytime!

Robye & Jared

Robye & Jared can only be described as two beautiful souls. We could not have hoped for two more caring and loving individuals to stay in our home and care for our furry ones. Because of them we were able to relax and feel confident all was well back at home. We would be lucky to have them care for our home and loved ones again and hope they will stay in touch as they continue their journey through life.

Shari

This was Shari's 2nd sit here and we look forward to many more visits; pet sitting or just to spend time as friends. Shari LOVES animals and enjoys spending quality time with all of our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 hamster and 6 fish). We received videos, pictures and messages every day. Our neighbors enjoy Shari's outgoing personality, as do we. Our home was clean, laundry done and a warm welcome awaited us with desserts and pet stories. Upon our return, we see our pets loving on her as she hugs and kisses them. We know Shari has a busy schedule and may not have much time for zeewoi but we hope to see her again soon. Five star sitter for sure.

Amy

Amy was great. This was my first hosting experience, and I had some kinks to work out with communication to help her be better prepared. Amy took everything in stride, and Altan seemed very comfortable with her. She kept in contact with me when she had questions or needed to verify anything, and left the house cleaner for me than I did for her!

Molly & Don

Molly and Don are the best. They have come to sit for us twice and both times our dogs are happy and the house is spotless when we return. We never worry about our fur babies when Molly and Don are with them We are happy to have them back anytime.

Catherine

Joe and Sue pet sat for us for over two weeks. You could not ask for anymore attention to detail with every aspect of the sit. The house was left in wonderful condition. Roo was taken care of and loved maybe more than if we had been at home. Both Joe and Sue were easy to communicate with and would ask questions until they had a full understanding of how things worked. If you ask Sue and Joe to sit for your pet you will not be disappointed. They are welcome back to Roo’s house anytime.

Tracy

Kristopher did a great job looking after our house and cats.  They were all in fine spirits and fluffy when we got back.  He coped admirably with a small *accident*.  The old cat looked super healthy so I am assured that he received his medication correctly.
Contact between us was swift and effective.  Kristopher kept us up to date with the cat issues.
The house was spotless when we got home.
I would certainly recommend him and would welcome him back into our home again at any time.
