1. Anne B.


“Anne took good care of my cat Sully while I was away for the holidays! She was proactive and asked if I’d like him brushed or his nails trimmed, which was so considerate of her. She provided timely updates and was able to take care of small favors I asked from her. Sully seemed to enjoy his time with her. I recommend her as a sitter!”


2. Haowen S.


“I just returned from a last-minute trip. I contacted Haowen two days before, and he was super accommodating. We met two days before my flight. My dog immediately warmed up to him, and I knew he would be great with her. During the trip, he sent me tons of pictures of them walking and playing. He's a great person, and I would definitely recommend him! I'm going to be a repeat customer, too! Thanks so much, Haowen!”


3. Amanda W.

“Amanda was thoughtful and delightful to work with for drop-in care. Our puppy Rosie just had surgery, so had to restrict her activities and be carried up/downstairs. Amanda followed Rosie's post surgery care instructions and kept Rosie calm and happy. We loved the picture updates. Amanda patiently sat outside with Rosie to get fresh air. Amanda was always on time and very flexible for last minute changes. Would definitely recommend Amanda.”


4. Samantha C.

“I couldn't be happier with the thoughtful care Samantha has provided to my cat. She cared for my cat last weekend, and also a surprise bat that wandered into the apartment. Samantha took and shared many great photos with me, and ensured detailed and compassionate care of my baby, going above and beyond to think of what she could do in any situation, even going so far as to offer way more than she was asked to do. I couldn't be more grateful for how well my sweet boy was taken care of, and I would delightedly trust my baby to her care again.”


5. Julie J.

“Julie was wonderful with my pets! I have two blind cats, who are still being introduced to each other, so it's not a simple visit, and I couldn't be more pleased with Julie's care. She was proactive about asking questions regarding their care that I hadn't specified in my instructions and really went the extra mile to help out. I highly recommend!”


6. Elise F.

“Elise is terrific! Such a great communicator and fun to work with. I can tell by the pics she sent, the dogs had a great time with her. Elise, we like you already!”


7. Chloe T.

“Chloe was amazing! Super friendly and made sure to accommodate all of our requests on how to handle Harper. We will definitely be using her for any future requests.”


8. Gabrielle W.

“Gabby has been so patient and caring towards my kitten who has never been left with a sitter before! He was anxious with someone new but she quickly gained his trust and picked up on his behavioral cues. She always sends me updates of her visit with photos ! I’ve been so thankful to have a reliable sitter for my Remy :)”


9. Richard R.

“Richard was fantastic! He took great care of our cat and made sure she got all the proper attention and love she needed. He kept us up to date with photos and messages, and was overall a wonderful cat sitter! We will for sure be reaching out to him in the future!”


10. Dodi F.

“Dodi was wonderful! She provided daily updates with photos and administered our cat’s asthma medication. When he had an asthma attack during one visit, she returned later that night to make sure he was still doing OK and was sure to call us. She was thorough about providing pets and play time. We would love to rebook her during our next vacation, if possible”


11. Caroline O.

14. Madison S.

“Madison went above and beyond for my kitties while we were away! Great communication, thorough, kind with my boys, and even went so far as to clean up a bit before we got. She really cared about my boys being well taken care of. Thank you Madison!”


15. Hannah F.
