1. Emily L.
“Emily was incredibly thoughtful and caring! She took care of my cat with medical needs as a very last minute request (the day before I left). I was pretty stressed to leave Phoebe for the first time, but Emily made the experience as stress-free as possible. Emily was communicative and timely, sending me pictures and videos during each drop-in visit. During my trip, Phoebe threw up and Emily texted me promptly to evaluate the situation and continued to monitor her for the rest of the stay. Not to mention that Emily left my home tidier than when I left!! Emily is a great caregiver, and I will definitely request her services again. You should too!!”
2. Marilyn S.
“Marilyn went above and beyond taking care of our little cat. She is really great! She spent her time in each visit and you could tell she enjoys the time with the pet. We found out little one in perfect condition when we were back. Marilyn is absolutely trustworthy and we will definitely book with her again for future moments. So lucky we found her! :)”

“2nd time booking with Haley and once again she was amazing. My moms dementia has progressed and we took in a new cat after I booked with Haley so I asked her last minute if she could feed the new one and just check on my moms pets and she had no issues doing so. She is worth every penny and more. Thank you Haley!!!”
