Kevin was excellent! I will definitely be using Kevin again to house-sit my cat Smokey when I go on a trip. Kevin was attentive, kept me updated, let me know if there were any concerns, and was very respectful of my apartment. He is very gentle and kind to animals, a great listener, and truly loves animals. Kevin was very easy going. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals. Thank you so much Kevin for your help while I was away. I really appreciate it!

I should start by saying our dog is a rescue and isn't always great with new people. We did a meet and greet so they could get acquainted and everything went better than expected! I would definitely hire Dianna again if the need arises.

Kay was fantastic with my anxious senior pup Phoebe, and made us both feel so comfortable. Phoebe has a complicated meds routine and Kay was super diligent with it. She understands Phoebe's communication style, and I can tell that Phoebe loves and trusts her. I will definitely to ask Kay to sit for Phoebe again 🙂

Jackie was so amazing watching my German Shepard Kala over the weekend. She was attentive to not only Kala but and to me as well to calm my own separation anxieties. Truly comforting to know Kala was in kind hands. She was also so flexible when we were having flight issues which helped for additional peace of mind.

Georges has dog-sat my baby, Leo, many times, and I’ve never he’s been amazing with Leo! He’s been very responsible with making sure Leo is well taken care of. There has never been any need for a vet visit, but I know if it came down to it, Georges would definitely make sure Leo got the proper care he needed. Given Georges past with dogs and owning his own current dog, I know he would be fantastic with any dog!!

It was great o have Lia back again, this time for a full week overall including overnights. She did an excellent job taking care of our senior and very needy cats and was very communicative around medication times. She sent awesome photos that showed very clearly how comfortable our little furballs were hanging out with her! We felt so much better going away knowing Lia was looking after everything at home and will definitely reach out to her again.

We have an older dog with some mobility issues and high anxiety. We were nervous about leaving him with anyone but Bridget was wonderful. We got pictures every day and a summary of Willie’s day and we honestly never worried the whole time we were gone. Bridget is very caring and responsible and we recommend her highly. Willie loved her!!!

Would hire Katie again in a heartbeat!! Very communicative and responsible with both our pup and kitty! We had a pet sitter cancel on us last minute and thankfully Katie was there to the rescue! Our pup is older and requires meds twice daily - so thankful she could help us. Highly recommend!

Savannah is truly the one and only person who I trust with my animals. I have 5 cats, ranging in age from 16-3. She comes twice a day to administer my eldest cats medication. She not only feeds and cleans the litter but she plays with my cats. She keeps me updated on anything while I’m away. It’s a true comfort to know that I can leave for extended periods of times and not be concerned with my animals well being.
