“Chloe truly is the best cat sitter there is! She was so attentive to our 2 cats while we were away. We’ve never used Rover before but absolutely will not hesitate to use Chloe again. The updates after every visit were amazing and it really eased our minds knowing they were in such good hands! Highly, highly recommend!!”

“Melina looked after our cat, Zara, while we were away on a 10-day trip. From the first meeting, she was highly professional and thoroughly prepared. She not not only provided exceptional care for Zara, but she also looked after a number of tasks around the house that we would have never expected her to do. She is highly reliable and responsive, and will definitely be our choice for future bookings. Thanks Melina!”
“Nick did a great job taking care of my cat and dog for a week. Even with them not being used to being with a stranger for an extended period of time, they warmed up to him quickly and really enjoyed his company.”
“Our cat fell in love with Brad by the end of her stay-cation! Brad was diligent with updates (photos and descriptions) and was so kind and responsible with our cat. We don’t want to recommend him because then he has less availability for us, but he was such an incredible sitter that it’s impossible not to. We would definitely recommend Bradley to any other cat parents looking for a kind, reliable, knowledgeable, and communicative sitter for their fur-baby.”

Alena was an excellent communicator, sent lots of nice photos and was really easygoing and flexible with the schedule. Plus, my cat was super chill when I arrived home, and I felt she was well taken care of by Alena. Would absolutely book again!”
“Outstanding service. The communication was excellent throughout the entire booking, and I always felt informed and at ease. My puppy is usually very skittish and anxious with new people, they approached her with patience, confidence, and a gentle demeanor that made all the difference. I’m extremely grateful and would absolutely book again.”

Dennis was great at looking after our cat while we were on vacation. We booked last minute due to some unexpected events. He was communicative with scheduling, provided updates and photos after every visit and was easy to arrange with to get our keys back. We’d use him again in the future for any cat sitting needs.
Alex was great taking care of our two cats. It was a last minute request and she made time for a meet and greet right away then followed instructions, spend quality time with them, and shared detailed summaries so I knew they were in good hands. Our cats were very happy to spend time with Alex!
Chloe truly is the best cat sitter there is! She was so attentive to our 2 cats while we were away. We’ve never used Rover before but absolutely will not hesitate to use Chloe again. The updates after every visit were amazing and it really eased our minds knowing they were in such good hands! Highly, highly recommend!!
This was the first time we have left Cocoa Puff with someone we previously did not know so we were a little apprehensive, but Sheila's initial visit with us prior to booking put our mind at ease. Cocoa came out to greet her and hung around. This is not something she ordinarily does so that right there told us we would be hiring Sheila. While we were away Sheila sent us updates and photos of each visit and we were pleasantly surprised that Cocoa was not hiding as she has done in the past. Thank you, Sheila, for taking such good care of our silly fluffy girl. We definitely recommend Sheila.
Zhijun was attentive, dependable, and made sure my kitten had everything she needed during each visit. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that my kitten was getting plenty of attention and care while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Susan has cat-sat my cat Rosie on multiple occasions. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure Rosie is well cared for and her needs met. Rosie, who is shy around strangers, has become friendly with Susan due to Susan's considerate and careful approach to gaining Rosie's trust. Susan also keeps me well informed of what is happening with Rosie while I'm away and sends a lot of pictures, which I really appreciate. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Rosie, or other cats, in Susan's care!
This was our second time having Britney come for drop-in visits with our cat, Nala, while we were away. She does a great job, is easy to coordinate with, and is very friendly, reliable and professional. We will absolutely book with Britney again the next time we need a sitter :)
Des and Michelle were wonderful! They were punctual and took the time not only to feed the cats and clean the litter box, but also to play with them and earn their trust. They always sent detailed updates and photos, so I could enjoy my camping trip with peace of mind knowing my cats were in safe hands. I would happily recommend them to anyone in the neighbourhood.
This was our 4th time working with Sue to take care of our two kitties, and it won't be the last! She is the best petsitter we have ever had. She is extremely caring, amazing with her communications and updates, and even went out of her way to make sure the cats were okay in hot weather. She is incredible!!!
