15. Grace V.
“Grace has been absolutely amazing at taking care of my cat! She always makes sure my kitty is well-fed, has plenty of water, and keeps the litter box clean. Grace is incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s also very adaptable and handles everything with such care and attention. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and my cat loves her too! I couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone needing a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
16. Adam P.
“Adam was very accommodating to me trying to finalize my dates, he also came to our home for the meet & greet which made me feel much more at ease in getting to know me, and our cats in order to provide great care in helping out with our cats. During the visits he was very thorough in feeding, scooping litter box, and providing some play time interaction as well. I hope to use him again in the future! Highly recommend Adam!”

“Rebecca was amazing with my little boots! She was prompt, played with him to get his energy out, and scooped his litter just as I asked. Highly recommend Rebecca!”
18. Lillian M.
“Lillian was very communicative, flexible and reliable! Will definitely be hiring her again to watch my kitty, Ronnie!”
19. Sierra N.
“Sierra was excellent. I think our cats now prefer her over us. She quickly made friends with our shy cats, figured out their morning routine, and spent a lot of time with them. Her daily photos and updates were perfect. I highly recommend her. She was super fast at communication and helped with a few things around the house that weren't expected (checked the mail, etc.). Would do business with again.”
