Butters and I really liked meeting Micheal and having him spend some time at our home. He checked in with questions, updates and photos which I appreciated very much. I will definitely reach out to Michael again when I need care

Meric was great with Georgie and Kelso. He was always really quick to respond to messages and provided regular updates and photos. Would definitely recommend and trust Meric with our boys again.

My experience was great! Nikki is easy to work with, great with my two little kittens and super duper clean. The whole thing was very smooth and I had peace of mind throughout, I’ll def recommend.

I could tell Michael really loved my dog Felton and took great care of him. He was very communicative and kept me regularly updated. He left my apartment spotless after staying with Felton, which made my return from a long trip very relaxing.

Adriana was great while I was gone for nearly a week on holiday - I was quite nervous as my dog has anxiety and had been acting a bit off leading up to it (likely knowing I was leaving her soon!). Adriana shared videos and photos showing her as her happy and quirky self which put me at ease. My dog has meds that need to be taken regularly too and all went smoothly! I tried to leave my apartment in a good place for her to use while here, and somehow I came back to it looking even nicer! Which was a lovely way to return after a vacation. Will definitely book again - thank you!

Victoria was amazing! She took great care of Cody! Cody has anxiety and she was very patient with him until he warmed up to her. She sent lots of picture updates and even help me straiten up my kitchen. She is a very nice and trustworthy person. I will definitely request her again!

Julia did a fabulous job watching my 3 dogs - wow! I got daily updates and photos, my apartment was spotless when I got home, and she was incredibly flexible and helpful when my travel plans changed. I’m about to book her for all my upcoming work travel and look forward to having her stay with my dogs again.

I have a French bulldog puppy who suffers from separation anxiety which makes going away a little hard for me. I went through three sitters in the past, none of whom understood how to deal with him properly. We then met Mary and I cannot tell you the relief I have felt since! She was so attentive with Frank, completely understood the time and space he needed to warm up and sent me hourly updates on how he was doing along with pictures and videos. I could tell from the get go that he was much more comfortable with Mary in his space than any other sitters I have had in the past. By the end of the stay he was on the couch with Mary, snuggling and sitting on her lap, something he would usually only let myself or my boyfriend do. This just goes to show how completely comfortable he felt with Mary. If you’re looking for a sitter who genuinely understands dogs and their individual needs Mary is the one. She goes above and beyond with not only watching your dog but providing them with so much love and care. I felt completely at ease being away and could actually enjoy myself knowing that my fur child was having the best time with Mary. I feel she will need to visit us in future as Frankie has for sure found his second mom! Thanks Mary, Frank and I are so grateful to have found you.

Nia was wonderful! She arrived early and stayed late when I wasn't able to get back by the time I stated. Merlin took an instant liking to her and seemed to be very comfortable after I left (he has separation anxiety so it's a big deal). I would definitely use her again.

Alexis is such a stellar sitter. I’m grateful that someone as empathetic as her is about to take care of my old cat boy. Despite needing ridiculous amounts of medication, Alexis is always excited to see him and I know he’s in great hands when he’s with her. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

Alia was fantastic. You can tell she is a natural with dogs and “gets” them. Tokki immediately jumped up in her lap when she came and was more interested in playing her than focusing on me leaving which is great for a dog with separation anxiety.

Edgar came to the rescue when I needed a last minute sitter for my cat Papers. Edgar is a clear animal lover and took the time to understand Papers’ unique personality and needs, as well as provided daily updates with photos which was incredibly assuring. I cannot recommend Edgar’s services enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I have pet sitting needs!

Rudy and us agree, that Anne Marie was an excellent caretaker. We humans were able to take a few days away in complete confidence. Anne Marie's cat care came at a time when Rudy was just getting over an illness that required medication, observation and compassion. This was not in our original agreement, and Anne Marie rose to the occasion. We highly recommend Anne Marie for her competency and care. We would not hesitate to call on her again to care for Rudy.
