1. Jessica and Dave S.
“Dave was amazing with my cat, Albus. Albus is usually very quiet and angry whenever I come back from trips because he hates being left alone. This was the first time he was calm and happy when I got back!”
2. Natalie J.
“Natalie was great! She was super friendly and responsive, she took lots of photos, and kept me updated :) It's hard to tell what cats are thinking, but I think they liked her too ;)”
3. Kathleen N.
“Kathleen has great detail in caring for my dogs. I appreciate her communication skills as well, as she keeps me updated on their behavior and if anything is unusual during her drip in visits.”
4. Tom S.
“Tom was awesome! He left detailed reviews, took great pictures, and had ample awesome adventures with the fur babies! We will definitely plan to book him again and the fur babies loved him!”
5. Alyson F.
“Alyson was so quick to respond to my last minute booking on a Holiday. She had never met Ducky before, and was very kind to send me updates. I will be booking with her again! Thanks Alyson!!!”
6. Shawn V.
“Shawn did a great job and took very good care of our cats, including making sure on of them got her pills. She clearly cares a lot about cats and was very communicative, including lots of pictures.”
7. Erin H.
“Erin loves all dogs and dogs love her! My dog really enjoys walking and playing with Erin. Erin is very responsible and always communicates regular updates. I highly recommend Erin!”
8. Luke H.
“Luke took SUCH GOOD care of my puppy! He asked me about any triggers for her and was so thoughtful! I am picky when it comes to my baby lol and he met us beforehand and I felt very comfortable having him take care of my girl. I seriously recommended!!!”
9. Sabine G.
“Was so good with my sometimes nervous dog, who warmed up to her quickly.”
10. Eunae L.
“Eunae was a very caring and thorough pet sitter! She was very easy to work with. She did a drop in visit for my 2 cats and they seemed to love her. We had specific instructions since our cats need to eat 2 different foods and she followed them perfectly. Also had some extra instructions to keep doors open/closed, put bowls in dishwashers, etc and Eunae sent us photos to confirm she followed the instructions. This was greatly appreciated and would love to have her again in the future!”
11. Sharon C.
“We’ve got very tough kitties that require medication and hide. Given that, our expectations are adjusted. Upon short notice, Sharon was able to care for our kitties. Sharon was unable to give one of our kitties an insulin shot one evening due to hiding under the bed. She communicated this to us real-time. She waited at the visit to attempt again. Upon receiving response, she used new techniques in her next visit with success. She sent photos. Prior to the visit she came by to meet our cats and see the routine. All in all we were very happy with her support.”
12. Colleen B.
“I grew up with Colleen and if there’s one thing I know about her is that her heart for dogs is infinitely big! She even used her make-a-wish on being able to get one of her own whom she cared for I want to say 15 (16?) years! She really is the most caring person and anybody would be lucky to hire her.”
13. Jillian E.
“My friend (roommate of 2 years) Jillian has always been a reliable person and I can depend on her for anything. From showing up on time, to organizing group hangouts, to handling difficult situations in the best way possible, I know she will be a loving and responsible pet giver for your pet. She gives 100% in anything she does, and takes it seriously, while also having fun with it. She’s the best sitter you could ask for!”
14. Audrey L.
“Audrey is one of the most dedicated, loving and caring person i know, whether it is in her work or personal life. I wouldn't hesitate to let anything I own or anyone I love in her responsible care. It doesn't take long to see that Audrey is that kind of "dog person" who just gets it: she is attentive to what the others need (owners and dogs), she knows how to be firm when required, she pays attention to details in everything she does, while knowing how to have lots of fun!”
15. Ashtyn P.
“Hi Ashtyn, Little Ms.Grey was happy to see me yesterday but I know she enjoyed your care. Thank you for taking such good care of her. I don’t travel often but if I do I would certainly contact you again. Best wishes Lloyd Foster”
16. Christa F.
“I cannot recommend Christa highly enough! They took such wonderful care of my dog, Max while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and great with animals, Christa is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
17. Zoe C.
“I have worked with Zoe in the past and have only good things to say. She is prompt and responsible, and dedicated to doing a great job. When my dog was under Zoe's care, she was communicative and responsive and I always felt confident that my dog was comfortable and happy.”
18. Ashley P.
“It was so great to have Ashley check in and walk our dog! Izzy was well cared for on their walks and Ashley sent updates so we knew all was well.”
19. Natalie M.
“Natalie is that person who just naturally attracts your dogs, and cats too. She's a gentle soul who is patient and kind. She's efficient in administering medication and making sure it's done on time.”
20. Marina W.
“Marina was an excellent choice for a week of daily drop-ins with our senior cat. She took care of feeding and tidying up after him, and the super-cute photos she included with the daily update cards showed us how much he enjoyed social time with her as well! Marina also brought in the occasional package that arrived, a big help to the non-felines here. I fully recommend Marina and would book with her again.”
