“Echo loves her weekly walks with Janaya! She is very prompt with responses and is thorough with her visit notes. She manages Echo’s crazy puppy energy with ease!”
“Finn did an amazing job looking after Phoebe for the week I'm gone. They bond really well, and I can feel my cat has made a new friend. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone.”
“Jessica did a great job looking after our 1 year old cat. She provided good company to our pet — played with her, kept her on schedule with feeding, etc. Lots of pics provided of our kitty in action which provided peace of mind and was so nice to see being so far away from home.”
“She’s so good with our pets and we feel comfortable continuing to use her services whenever we need. She’s resourceful and goes above and beyond. Very happy!”
“Lizzy exceeded all expectations and made my first experience leaving my cats for an extended period completely stress-free. From the start, she demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism, putting my mind at ease. Each day, Lizzy sent adorable pictures of my cats, giving me peace of mind and keeping me connected to them while I was away. Her detailed messages were thorough, updating me on how they were doing, what they were eating, and any other observations she made. Not only did she meticulously follow all of our instructions, but she also went above and beyond in ensuring the cats were comfortable and well cared for. Working with Lizzy was seamless—her communication was prompt, her attention to detail unmatched, and her warm demeanor truly reassuring. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I think my kitties already miss her!”
“Shannon was so great! Our cats are a bit particular but she was great at catering to all of their needs. She went over and above at keeping our space clean and giving lots of extra love and play time to the kitties. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Nicole is simply amazing and the best! I was going away for a week and needed someone to feed and administer medication to our diabetic dog in the morning. We were nervous as no one else had ever taken care of Chloe since she was diagnosed. Nicole came every morning and not only fed and gave Chloe her medication, but was patient, loving, kind and took the time to give cuddles and belly rubs and really make Chloe comfy! Nicole gave me updates and sent pictures and became Chloe's new friend. We have found someone we trust and will be having her come take care of Chloe anytime we are away! Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole take care of their pet.”
“Vivian was great with my two cats. Asked really thoughtful questions about them during our pre-booking meet-and-greet and was very communicative while I was away. She played a lot with my outgoing cat and was earning the trust of my very shy cat.”
“Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”
“Juno is always super happy to see her friend Victoria. She always gets great care and lots of snuggles. We are always super happy to see our cat so happy! Thank you!”
“Sara was a great help with our dog Ella. She arrived on time,walked her then gave her supper and spent some time keeping her company. We would happily call on her again.”
“Daniela looked after our cat Molly while we were away for a long weekend. She stopped in every day to feed her and play with her. We got lots of pictures of Molly after each visit and we could tell she was very happy to see her and have some company. We will be happy to have Daniela come look after Molly again sometime soon!”
“I went away for a month and I was really nervous about leaving the cats especially to someone I didnt know but Rayanne made me feel at ease and sent some great updates. She even got my extremely shy kitty to come out of hiding which Im thankful for. It was nice to just chill and enjoy my trip :) Thanks for everything!”
“Sara and Rick were absolutely wonderful. They came by for a visit before the sitting sessions, and were completely at home with the kitties and my instructions. They put me at ease. Every day I got a great update, description of activities, and lots of photos of them having fun with my two cats. I never had to worry for a minute. They were timely about returning my key, and I'd hire them again in a minute. Highly recommended.”

I am glad I found Ava! I will definitely book her again. She was punctual, friendly, respectful and kind. Zeus looks forward to seeing her again!
Juno is always super happy to see her friend Victoria. She always gets great care and lots of snuggles. We are always super happy to see our cat so happy! Thank you!
This was the third time Shannon has cared for our cats while we were away, and it gives us so much comfort knowing how well they’re taken care of while away. It’s almost like a vacation for our cats while we’re away, they’re treated so well! Lots of play time and cuddles, litter, food and water always fresh, and our home is always cleaner than when we left! We will continue to use Shannon whenever we’re away.
Megan is an Outstanding Pet Sitter! I can't say enough good things about Megan! she took amazing care of my dog, Lucy, while I was away. From the very beginning, I could tell Lucy was in loving and capable hands. She got plenty of walks, playtime, and was absolutely spoiled with treats (in the best way!). Megan kept me updated with photos, videos and little notes, which really put my mind at ease. Lucy looked so happy and relaxed every time. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treat them like their own. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book Megan again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!
I booked Myt based on a referral I received and I was so glad she was able to drop in on my cats. She refilled food and water, did the litter, sent me updates, videos and pictures during her drop ins, and of course played with the cats! She also brought in some packages I'd received, kept an eye out for pesky ants that had been in my kitchen, cleaned up cat vomit and followed instructions precisely. Thank you, Myt!
Patricia is fantastic as always! I appreciate her attention to detail and care for my two pups. I get lots of updates and photos which I love to see. Highly recommend!
Lizzy is great. I can really tell that she loves what she does. My dog is shy around new people but after the second time meeting Lizzy, he found himself a new friend!! I would definitely recommend her.
Rebecca was super helpful being able to do some Drop In visits with our pups. She sent lots of pictures and the dogs seemed really happy.
Nicole made me feel so confident in having her come in and let my baby out. I always worry about her while I am away and her communication and taking all of my routines carefully made me feel so much better
Sunny is punctual and responsive. It seems like our cat warmed up to her by the end of the weekend, and our cat is very shy. Will be looking forward to booking with her again.
Piper was very communicative, she kept me up to date and was always very on time for drop in visits! She was also very patient with my dog, who can get anxious easily. I definitely felt lucky to have her drop in on my dog Captain while being away for work😊
Koreen has been amazing helping out with my dogs and cats. She’s been consistent and reliable. Definitely made my life easier not having to worry about my fur babies knowing they’re well taken care of.
Very attentive & sweet. Had 0 doubts while leaving my mom’s 2 cats for 6 days with Izabelas help. Will definitely request her help again when we need it!
Wenge took such great care of our cat Errol during our holiday. Errol has some health issues that need monitoring; Wenge was so diligent with sending daily photos of the litter box for our review, and monitoring for symptoms. When we came back, Errol was so happy and calm! We are so grateful to have someone to trust with Errol on our holidays - Thanks again Wenge!
Alex has taken care of our two cats a few times now and we continue to be so happy with her care of them, our home and her overall professionalism. She takes great care to ensure our cats are well looked after and always keeps us in the loop.on any schedule changes. Highly recommend hiring Alex for any pet sitting needs!
Andres is hands down the most caring, attentive, and responsible sitter I've had. When I picked my dog up, he was noticeably more tired/calm and had an empty bladder. Andres truly goes above and beyond not just in service but also in treatment to my dog, which is a rare quality to find in a dog carer. Andres goes above and beyond; He and his girlfriend are amazing. Will be my go-to sitter for sure. Thank you Andres! My dog misses you and wishes he was with you haha
Sara and Rick were absolutely wonderful. They came by for a visit before the sitting sessions, and were completely at home with the kitties and my instructions. They put me at ease. Every day I got a great update, description of activities, and lots of photos of them having fun with my two cats. I never had to worry for a minute. They were timely about returning my key, and I'd hire them again in a minute. Highly recommended.
Amazing! She was so kind and careful with my cat, sending so many videos when I missed my baby so much.
Faryn was wonderful with my cats, and provided excellent service! She was respectful, conscientious, and professional. She was very affectionate with my cats, and truly seemed to enjoy spending time with them. I appreciated her Rover cards - and all the pics! I would certainly hire her again, in the future!
