“Beth did a great job caring for my cat! I appreciated the photos provided and the fact that my cat looked content in them. There were a couple small things like our back door being unlocked and litter not being thrown away, but I could have communicated better! I recommend Beth to anyone needing an attentive and caring cat sitter.”

16. Kate S.
“Kate did a great job with our energetic pup! We just moved to the city and were looking for someone reliable to get aquatinted with our German shepherd - he wasn’t used to having strangers come in to our place, but Kate did a great job with getting to know him a bit before coming by on her own for a walk. She’s super responsive and sent great feedback and photos during the visit! Will definitely have her back to watch our pup again!”
17. Echo I.
“Echo has been great to work with. She did a meet and greet with us to meet our dogs and was not scared away by them having a minor dog fight while she was there. She was great with the dogs and they did well with her. She does a daily drop in for us and has been reliable, responds and shows up in a timely manner and sends us pictures and notes. We highly recommend her and will hire her in the future for house sitting.”
18. Breann C.
“Bree is super responsible, reliable, and one of the best pet moms around. Her dogs and kitty are her children and she treats every animal she meets with the same amount of love and care. When I have to go out of town or need daycare for my high energy, large breed dog, she is always my first choice because I know she will provide structure, play, and lots of cuddles. I also always get tons of photos and updates, and she's always very quick to respond which provides huge peace of mind. Her dogs, Colt and Dash are super sweet boys and they are great with other dogs and super polite with kitties. Her cat, Haiku, is a sweet and mellow girl and tolerable of all types of animals as well. Bree has a large, completely fenced in yard and lives on a quiet street so you never have to worry about your pet getting out. You would be hard pressed to find a more dependable sitter than Bree that will treat your babies like they're her own.”
19. Ian U.
“Excellent work!!! Such a delight to meet you Ian!”
20. Christina R.
