“Misha was very reliable, friendly, accommodated the special needs of my cats and myself, and was a great pet sitter!! I will definitely ask him to sit again!!!”
“Caitlyn took wonderful care of my cat Theodore while I was away for the week. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, friendly, and made the effort to meet Theodore beforehand to ensure it was a good fit. I also really appreciated her flexibility with drop-off and pick-up. Highly recommend!”
“Anjana did a fantastic job caring for our cats!! It's clear she has a great way with animals. We came back to super happy kitties and she watered our plants :) I'd definitely rebook with Anjana.”
“Sarah was able to watch my two cats during a last minute trip. My cats are playful and high energy and she was able to keep them entertained and happy! She also provided detailed notes and pictures each visit which was nice. Super grateful!”
“Arantxa always goes above expectations, she’s set such a high standard it’s such a bummer when I can’t book her. She sends the best photos and updates and that are so adorable and funny. She’ll bring in packages, tell you if something is wrong or out of the ordinary at home, and help out in so many ways with pet care and more. She’s so reliable and trustworthy I am always at ease knowing she is caring for my pets. She’s so reliable genuinely loves animals, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!!”
“Rebecca was all I could ever hope for in a cat sitter. She sent loads of pics and seemed to genuinely care about my cat’s well being. I have one very shy cat that rarely comes up to people and he loved her, so she was doing something right. She went above and beyond scooping litter and even dropping my faucets when it froze. She’s amazing!!! So grateful for her help”
“Cecilia took my last minute request to check in on my cat and was so easy to communicate with. She even was able to successfully give Gordo his oral meds. Would absolutely book again!”

“Ashley was super reliable and communicative while we were away. She made me feel super comfortable leaving our cats at home! They seemed very happy when we returned - well fed and litter boxes clean.”
“Anna was AWESOME! She watched our two cats (who don’t do much honestly) and managed to take so many cute pictures and got them to interact and make their two weeks alone much better and happier! I gave her 5 stars but would give more if I could!”
“Thanks Eunice! She did a great job following instructions and keeping our kitties company. She even did a favor for us and turned up the air since we forgot before we left town. I recommend Eunice!”
“Kirren was absolutely wonderful! For the first time in years, I was able to go on vacation without feeling anxious about leaving my cat behind. My cat needs a lot of attention and twice-daily medication, so finding someone trustworthy was essential. Kirren went above and beyond—providing extra care, attention, and thoughtful updates that truly put me at ease. She was incredibly communicative, and to my surprise, my cat instantly took to her—something that’s never happened with a stranger before. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kinder loves Kate! He practically begs us to leave him so Kate can come visit him 😉 lol but seriously my kitty has opened up to her so much he loves her and it’s such a good feeling knowing someone is there that takes such good care of him. The peace of mind is invaluable. Thank you Kate! We love you! ❤️”
“David and Lauren were both wonderful sitters for my cat! They made sure she got extra love and care while I was gone and provided me with regular updates. I felt at ease knowing that they were taking care of her!”

What can I say about Anna that hasn’t already been said in her reviews? She did an amazing job with our couple of ladies and left detailed notes of what took place during her visit. Anna went above and beyond just the needs of what we asked of her. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to anyone who has the chance to have her take care of your beloved pets. Thanks, Anna! 11/10
Literally just booked again - so accommodating and willing to work with my chaotic ass, while ensuring my sweet boy got all love and care he needed while I was away. Always let me know when they were dropping in and sent the best photos. Couldn’t imagine anyone else watching my cat !!! 🖤
Mia was amazing at taking care of my cat while I was away for a few days. She sent several photos and videos with each visit which helped ease my anxiety. Also loved how detailed she was in her messages about their time spent together and how my cat was doing. She even scheduled a call before booking to write down any special needs or behaviors to look out for. I’d 100% rebook with her in the future!
Meg did a great job with my kitty cats! I’ve had her as a sitter two times so far, and I’ve always come home to happy healthy kitties and a clean home. She’s good about replying quickly, and about sending pictures of them at each visit (even got some action shots of play time!). She did everything that I asked (fed them, gave them clean water, cleaned the litter box, and played with them), plus she even took out the trash when it got full! Overall I would recommend Meg as a sitter :)
My kitties were well taken care of! I’ve never left my cats alone before and was a little nervous about doing so, but immediately felt better every time I would receive pictures and videos of them. Aniela was very communicative which I really appreciated and she did a great job! Thanks again!
Elle was great! She was very self-sufficient and followed all of my directions, which made things really easy. I really appreciated the updates and photos - seeing her with my cats made me feel comfortable and confident they were in good hands. I definitely recommend Elle!
