1. Anais D.

“Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.”

6. Christina R.

“Christina took excellent care of our four cats: Shelby, Smokey, Felix and Roxy. Our cats loved her, which is unusual for them meeting someone new. They crowded around her for treats and pets. Christina took some time to play with Felix and Roxy with their favorite toys, which they loved. We will happily work with Christina again when we are away.”

She is reliable, keeps things in our home neat, and makes sure the cats have everything they need, as well as doing other things to make it look like we are home (bringing in mail and newspapers, etc.). I would 100% recommend her as a petsitter and I trust her entirely!”

11. Julia M.

“Julia is friendly and reliable. Her photos of my 18-yr-old cat and descriptionof him and what she did for him showed me that he was very comfortable with her and well cared for in my absence. She cleaned up after him (he's a little old!) and everything was great when I returned.”

He was also extremely communicative with me when it came to my dogs, which I really appreciated.”
