“We were very happy when we moved to a new place and McKenna was able to look after our cat again. It gave us peace of mind knowing that our cat would be with someone familiar again. As usual, McKenna was very reliable, responsive and caring. It puts a smile on our face whenever we see the pictures she sends us when looking after our cat.”
“Karen was amazing at caring for our two cats while we were away for a week! Both were looked after lovingly and I appreciate how much Karen communicated with us and how reliable she was! Karen managed to bond with our more shy cat and get her to take her medicine. It was wonderful knowing Polly and Vinny were in good hands!”
“Michelle is an excellent pet sitter. She sent lots of pictures and a few videos, which kept me at ease knowing my fur baby was well taken care of while I was away. 100% recommend Michelle and will book her services in the future.”
“Rachel was wonderful! She stayed with our 3 cats for 4 days and they were all very happy to have her. She was prompt when messaging and shared photos of the cats throughout her stay. We have a few special needs kitties, one of which is very shy. Our shy kitty doesn't warm up very quickly to strangers and even she took to Rachel within the first 24 hours. Her warmth and care made all the difference for them. We'll definitely have Rachel back the next time we need someone to stay. Thank you so so much!”
“Suzanne was great! Despite the cold and icy weather She visited my house once a day to feed my two cats and exchange the water for my chickens. She sent me multiple photos each day which was very reassuring while I was away. I would recommend Suzanne!”

“Siri took care of my two older cats while I was away for 9 days. They are happy and were very well looked after - this my second time engaging Siri and I look forward to doing it again!”
“Mel was amazing! It was so great to know my 2 cats were well taken care by an attentive and caring sitter. A lot of sitters say they will send pics and updates but fail to do so - not Mel! Mel sent lots of pictures and videos with detailed visit descriptions each day. My cat Wednesday loves to be pet and played with while my other cat Kittles likes to observe from afar. Mel was great at giving each what they needed, paying attention to their food and water levels, and making sure my apartment stayed warm. Will definitely book with Mel again! :)”

Jenna & Aidan S.
“I'm sure I wouldn't travel as much if it wasn't for Jenna. To have someone you can depend on and feel 100% confident with your beloved pets, isn't an easy situation to find. It has been over six years, that Jenna has been my pet/house sitter. I am so lucky to have found that perfect someone that makes my time away from home that much more enjoyable. When I leave Jenna to care for my pets, I never worry. I know both my cat and dog are in very good hands. She is loving, caring and always there to take on the job. I trust her whole heartedly. I know many people who will not travel because they are afraid to leave their pets. I am blessed to know that all the fears and anxieties associated with leaving my furry friends, does not existent in my world, all thanks to Jenna :)”
