2. Lauren E.

“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”


3. Ren B.

“We are so glad we found Ren! Our dog loved them immediately and we felt super comfortable trusting them to care for him. They had timely communication, actively played with Dunny, and left us a nice summary and pictures afterwards. Looking forward to having Ren back soon!”


4. Nicole Z.

“Nicole was fantastic looking after my cat. He’s 16 and can be grumpy but she got him to socialize a bit and even eat treats from her hand. She’s really good with him and great at communication with me while I was away. Definitely will use Nicole’s services again.”


5. Karina I.
“I’ve known Karina for years, and her love for animals is just heartwarming. She’s such a kind and responsible person. My dog gets super excited whenever she comes around!”


6. Mikaela D.
“Mikaela is just perfect with our timid, protective and sometimes food-aggressive rescue dog. Mikaela has the patience and communication skills needed to be successful with an animal. She has been walking dogs in my neighborhood since she was a child and her experience is evident. My dog loves Mikaela and watches her pull into the driveway grinning and wagging up a storm!”


7. Doris Z.

“Doris is excellent with my puppy! I was traveling for work and having her walk my dog regularly during the day put me at such ease. She is trustworthy and truly cares for my dog. He got a ton of exercise and was a happy puppy when I got home. Thank you so much, Doris!!!”


8. Emily R.

“Emily is wonderful with our dogs! She’s the best! So reliable and trustworthy!”


9. Linda S.

“Linda is AMAZING! I was very nervous about leaving our cat alone for the weekend and the care and time she spends with our spunky little guy immediately eased my mind. We appreciate Linda’s care of little Arlo and will continue to ask her to watch him when we are out of town!”


10. Heather N.

“Heather is a fantastic sitter! She is caring, reliable and trustworthy. Heather has taken care of my senior cat who requires some additional care and supplements at feeding time. She is able to provide that extra care that is needed. Also, Heather is flexible and quick to respond. I know my cat is in good hands when Heather comes to visit. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”


11. Svetlana E.

“Svetlana is amazing! She was very responsive in our communication from the start and my cat liked her instantly. I feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She knows a lot about cats, which has been very helpful to me. I highly recommend her!”


12. Shane M.

“Excellent care given to my kitty Silver! I plan to contact Shane in the future!”




13. Joanne D.


“Joanne is the kind of person you can rely on. She does not just “get the work done”, she really shows that she cares; she updated me and send me pictures every day, which was key. She took care of my baby for 3 days at first and how I felt so confident with her, I chose her again and this time for a longer period. I would not doubt to choose her again in any other time in the future. Thank you so much Joanne, I am glad we found you!”


14. Saleem W.
“Saleem is a very caring pet owner and caretaker. He is very attentive to animals and genuinely enjoys their company. He is responsible and on top of fulfilling the animals needs. Saleem also takes time to learn pets to understand their personalities and what they may be needing at the time. He would be an amazing individual to care for your pets!”


15. Jackie J.

“Jackie was wonderful- she took the best care of our dog, Leo! She was flexible with the schedule and very prompt and thorough with her updates. We felt super comfortable leaving Leo in her care while we went on vacation. We would definitely book with her again:)”


16. Vanessa V.

“Vanessa and Jeremy were wonderful with Milton! He loves treats and playtime and they gave him lots of both- even sparking his interest with a different wand toy. I will definitely book with Vanessa in the future.”


17. Aldo G.
“I've known Aldo and remember him most for his gentleness and kindness towards everyone he meets. His sweet personality is always warming and I believe it transfers over to pets as well. When I visited his home several times, he has a couple cats that are taken care of and fed and loved. He is proactive in the needs of others and I think he will be proactive in the caregiving of pets as well.”


18. Diksha R.

“Everything went great. Diksha was very prompt and accommodating. Buster and Daisy loved her.”


19. meghan l.
“Meghan is an incredibly thoughtful & loving pet sitter. She watched my lab mix, Rosie, who was a bit of a handful but I knew I could always trust that Rosie was in good hands. Cannot recommend Meghan enough!”


20. Cassie P.
About: I've grown up with 3 cats all my life, raised a seeing eye dog, and have taken care of family/friends dogs for 8 years. I have 3 years experience administering pills and liquid medications to cats. I'm currently working from home and around on weekends! I can make myself available early mornings and early evenings for routine walks, and can play with your pet on weekends generally at any time! I am happy to sit and play with your pet, take them for long walks or to the dog park. I will make sure they are tired and well-exercised and fed before leaving them!
