Suzete is now officially our cat Micio’s best friend. This was our third booking with Suzete and she is more wonderful every time! She goes above and beyond every visit and is the only person we would be happy leaving Micio with over Christmas! I highly recommend you choose Suzete to look after your pet - you won’t regret it!

Natalia was amazing! Fenrir was so comfortable with her! Our pup was alittle bit of a special case because he had surgery the week before, she was super helpful with keeping me posted and sending pictures. He also had a couple accidents in his kennel which she didn’t mind helping out with at all. Thank you so much Natalia ❤️

Katie was wonderful. We engaged her for daily visits with out cat, Henri, while we were out of town for an extended period. Each day she gave us good updates and sent pics, including ones that showed how attached Henri became with her. He is a very affectionate cat and it was great to have someone like Katie who was so good about engaging with him.

So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!

About: For years I lived in apartments that didn't let me have a dog, but I got my fill of snuggling furry friends by dog-sitting for my friends and neighbors. They always commented on how happy their pups were when they came home, and the dogs were so excited to see me again. I'm looking forward to doing the same for your pets! I currently have a light schedule and so most of my days are free to drop in on your pets or take them for long walks. I have a small dog of my own who would be happy with a dozen walks a day if he had his way, so I'm experienced with managing his leash etiquette and finding fun new routes to sniff. I avoid busy streets and areas without sidewalks so everyone can have a calm, safe walk.

Thomas provided superior daily cat sitting services for about 3 consecutive weeks, with both text and photo feedback of each visit. He even called me once when he found the refrigerator door suspiciously open, apparently done by a cat. From our initial meeting, he maintained clear, consistent communication with a friendly attitude. Would definitely hire him again!

Zhao was one of the best sitter's I've had! She was very flexible, thorough, communicative, and diligent. She always stayed the full allotted time and tried her very best to make Maeve (my cat) feel at ease. She's a very shy cat (part feral), and yet for the first time Maeve came out and was interested in play with Zhao. She even accommodated a last minute feeding request over text. Cannot recommend her enough!
