Monica was great! Such a relief to get detailed updates on my cat each day as I was away on vacation. She took excellent care of him and made sure our place was clean when she left (litter box + carpet spot cleanings, plus she watered our plants). She's very sweet and you can tell a natural animal lover. I would definitely book her again!

Tanya was extremely attentive to our cats while we were gone and very attuned to their body language and (obviously) non-verbal communication. She was also great at communicating with us. Couldn’t recommend a better caretaker - would gladly hire her again!

We love Chelsie, she is always there when we need her to watch our kitty, Lotto! I tell all my family and friends if they ever need someone to watch their pets to look on Rover for her! She takes time to change out his water bowl, make sure he has food and scoops his litter even! I also love that she sends me pictures of him and keeps me informed the whole time she’s there. Thanks Chelsie! 😊

Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Our cats are still warming up to the idea of people and tend to hide (even from us on some days), but Nichole did her best to win them over anyway. It gave me great peace of mind to know the person checking on them was so attentive, even if the cats themselves weren't enthusiastic about a new friend. Thanks so much!

Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.

Kayla provided excellent cat care for my two kitties over the holidays. I have one cat with anxiety who takes medication and Kayla was able to keep her calm and administer the medication with no issues. My cats warmed up to Kayla immediately and they were totally calm when I returned home. My home was in great condition, including the litter box, when I returned. Communication & photos were consistently great while I was away. I would be thrilled to rebook Kayla for pet sitting again in the future.

Shannon enjoys walking and playing with dogs and cats, which makes her an awesome human being that animals easily love. She truly loves all animals and has watched our dog Gracie on multiple occasions, keeping her safe & happy. :-) Shannon is a very caring, trustworthy young lady who I absolutely would recommend to pet sit or walk your dog.
