“Hailee took adorable photos of my babies while I was gone! It was nice to see them interacting with her and know that they were being taken care of. I came home to happy kitties which was such a relief!”
2. Emily S.
“My cats adored her! They are usually timid around new people, but my cats could tell she had good energy and came to enjoy her company and let her give them all the attention! My cat threw up and she went above and beyond and cleaned it up for me! Seriously will hire again and I definitely recommend her services!”
3. Natascha S.
“Can’t say enough about how great Natascha was with Cienna :) This was the first time leaving Cienna alone and we were hesitant to have anyone new look after her. Natascha's warmth and love of animals was apparent from our first meeting. She house sat for three weeks and kept us in the loop about everything going on. She spoiled Cienna rotten and I know I will be asking her back if I ever need someone again. Do not have any hesitation in asking her to look after your pets. Triple A rating :) Awesome, Amazing and Approachable!!””

“An absolutely stellar and trustworthy pet sitter. River took care of my two cats who had never been without me before and did an excellent job. They spent quality time with the cats and send me tons of pictures and updates. They were also okay with my schedule being a bit flexible which was really important to me. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future.”

About: I have grew up with dogs all my life, and had a very demanding great Dane for eight years of his life, and I am now going through the journey of Owning a cat, I Shadowed in vet clinics before so I know a little bit and that Area. I love bathing animals as well. I’m not sure why but I’ve always wanted to be a pet groomer. I do have a full-time job, but am currently working to get a more animal centered job. I am currently available Saturday and Sunday anytime, and anytime after 7 pm weekdays. I personally believe I am a guest in the animals home so treating everything with respect and making sure I have my attention on the animal in the best way shape or form while giving them love and attention.

14. Chelsea D.
About: I have taken care of dogs for about 4 years now. I have given baths, walked, fed my friends, families, and neighbors' pets. It is something I genuinely enjoy. I am here to work with your schedule. I can do early mornings and late evenings. I have cared for many dogs for friends and family in the past so I know the signs and steps of building trust. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep pets on their familiar routines to reduce stress. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes for safety before walks or outdoor time. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adjust to each pet’s personality and preferences to make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away.

17. Leah T.
“Leah took great care of my cat! He's on a raw diet, & she was very responsive and attentive to making sure he was cared for despite being new to feeding this diet like I was. My cat is very shy with new people, but warmed up to her quickly!”

“Sarah did a great job taking care of my cats!!”
19. Adrian C.
“We had never tried a pet sitter before but because of the length of our trip we wanted someone to check on our cat, Bogey, on a daily basis. Adrian did an outstanding job all 9 days seeing to his needs, both physical and emotional. Bogey became attached to her and loved cuddling with her. We are very pleased with the outstanding service she provided. We will definitely use Adrian again for any other trips we make. Highly recommended!!! Bev and Gil W.”
