Matt is great with our cats! He is very thorough in his communication which is so reassuring when we travel and miss our boys. He has also been very accommodating when our plans change last minute. The cats really like him — they’re always posing for him and we get the most beautiful photo updates!

Emily was wonderful! Our dog is 15 and needs a little extra attention and TLC and Emily was patient, kind, and responsive. She was respectful of our routines and preferences for our pup which was very comforting. The updates we received throughout her visits were detailed and thoughtful. I will definitely be hiring Emily again.

Sebastian is a responsible and diligent young man who is excellent at taking care of all kinds of animals. I have known him to take care of dogs, cats, chickens, and rats. A true animal lover, no one is more patient with my little dog than Sebastian. He is reliable, prompt, polite, and considerate. An ideal choice.

Vin has always done a great job of caring for our THREE pets! We have one cat and two dogs, they can be a handful at times for sure. Vin does well balancing all their needs. It feels good to know that they are safe and well cared for while we are gone. Vin always leaves our home clean and put together after pet sitting, we are very grateful to have someone so reliable.

I wholeheartedly recommend Juliana as an exceptional pet sitter. Her lifelong love and responsible care for her own pets, coupled with volunteer work at an animal shelter during high school, showcase her genuine dedication to animal well-being. Juliana has experience taking care of small dogs, cats, fish, and guinea pigs. Juliana's passion and hands-on experience make her an excellent choice for any pet owner seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Richard was great with our young German Shepherd. Canoot will push boundaries if he can, and Richard kindly kept him in line. Canoot had a great time and needed a long nap after his play time. We are looking forward to the next play date!

Nichole is both an amazing pet sitter AND all around amazing human! My shy, anxious cat warmed up to her immediately, which I was super worried about. Her calming personality and care towards my pet’s medications TOTALLY quelled my anxieties about leaving my cat while on vacation. She gave him lots of love and play while I was gone. 😊 highly recommend!

Definitely recommend! Anjali promptly responded and came to meet our dogs before the first check-in. We ran through the dogs routine and trusted they would be cared for. Anjali sent a picture update on arrival and let us know how the dogs were after her visit.

About: I’ve been taking care of family pets when they would go on vacation. Some of the responsibilities included were walking the dogs, feeding any animals, giving them baths and playing with them. Within the past year more friends and neighbors have reached out and offered me to take care of their animals. I do have a part time job but it still leaves plenty of time for me to play the the pets and take care of them! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly older dog to keep them company. I will always resort to the best way your dog or pets need to be cared for.

Cathryn is wonderful! She works in a veterinary hospital for her day job and handles pets of all kinds. She has been great the times she has watched my dog Brody and he is always sad to see her go! Anyone would be lucky to have Cathryn watch their dog for them!

Joseph is great with cats. To my surprise, my cat who is extremely shy and timid, instantly warmed up to him and showed affection to him the moment she met him. I think my cat could tell instantly that Joseph adored her. Joseph is also very accommodating and punctual: He came to my house twice a day for a whole week and was not late a minute a single time. I have found my cat sitter and I would strongly recommend him.
