Elena always takes excellent care of Kitten! This time I had a last minute cancellation and she was able to step in for a few days which was an enormous relief. She's so easy to communicate with, and fantastic at what she does. Truly grateful that my cat had such great care. :)

Lily was fantastic—truly dependable! She even brought a new toy for Peanut to play with. Her check-in reviews were super thorough. When Peanut knocked some stuff off the counter, Lily immediately notified me and removed the items from the floor. She also intuitively cleared other items from the counter just in case. I trust her with my little Peanut 100% and highly recommend her to check in on your fur babies too.

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!

Elise took amazing care of my cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with cats. They followed all instructions perfectly and even sent me daily updates with pictures, which gave me peace of mind. When I came home, my cat was happy, well-fed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that Elise has a genuine love for animals. I will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to any cat parent looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Nathan was fantastic! I was concerned because my dog has some separation anxiety and we weren’t sure how she would do, but Nathan’s visits, updates and photos truly put me at ease. He took her to hang out with some of his regular dogs he works with and she did great and had fun. I will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Nathan again in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone else in the area. Thank you, Nathan!

Dana was absolutely fantastic! I was a bit anxious leaving our two cats alone for the longest period they've experienced, but Dana was wonderful! Eventhough I was out of service for a number of the days, she left detailed visit notes and plenty of pictures each day. I loved being able to read how each cat was every visit, and appreciated the regular brushing and hairball watch for my longhaired cat!

Gabrielle was an amazing pet sitter for my cat and I’m so glad I found her. My cat was having a lot of separation anxiety when I left for my trip, but Gabrielle took over like a professional cat whisperer and helped calm her and cared for her with her with a lot of attention to detail and I was so grateful! She was responsible, communicative, great with instructions and went above and beyond sending lots of pictures and updates for every visit which I loved, appreciated and looked forward to seeing everyday. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat is in such good hands. She’s been an absolute star sitter and I would highly recommend her!

This was our second time booking with Gabi and just like last time, she took such great care of our girls! She was so mindful about making them as comfortable as possible that when one of my cats was feeling a bit shy, Gabi gave her a treat to reintroduce herself. Love the thoughtful and carefulness that Gabi has when checking in on my cats. Will be my go-to sitter from now on!!

Caroline was so great with our cat Roxy! Roxy can get very stressed/territorial when we’re away and Caroline was very patient and followed the care instructions we left super closely to help Roxy feel more comfortable. I would definitely recommend Caroline (especially if you also have a more anxious cat)

Anna did an incredible job of looking after our cat Cam while we were away for two weeks. She was great about sending us updates and pictures each day, and was quick to respond with all my questions while we were away. It felt good knowing that we left Cam in good hands. Anna will be our first choice the next time we need a sitter.

Allison is great! We were recommended her by a friend and she’s hands down the best sitter we’ve had. Every time she visited she’d feed our cats and then proceed to play with them/give them pets for the rest of the time. And she’d send SO MANY cute pics!! Our cats can be a little standoffish but they took to her right away. We’ll definitely be booking again the next time we travel - we didn’t have to worry about the cats at all with Allison watching them :)

Winita was fantastic with our super shy cats! They normally hide from all guests, but she knew the right mix of treats and games to get them out of their hiding places. By the end of our short trip, they loved her! She was also on top of all the other cat-based chores. My favorite part is all the videos she sent of our cats. I highly recommend her!
