“Emma did a fantastic job looking after our little Lulu! She refilled her food, refreshed her water, cleaned out her litter (even bringing her own bag for litter) and kept her company. We looked forward to her daily updates, which were extremely thorough, and photos of Lu. She was great with communication and always showed up on time. We would definitely recommend Emma to look after your cats, and we would definitely work with her again. Thank you Emma!”

17. Catherine X.
“Catherine is a patient, attentive, and diligent person. These attributes have allowed her to be an exceptional caretaker to her own French bulldog and pets of friends and family members. With her own frenchie, she has been patient during the crate, pee pad, and walking learning process, attentive to dog behavior, and diligent with rewarding good behavior and redirecting unhealthy ones to foster positive and loving environment. Additionally, she is caring with pets and respects and honors the standards set by owners.”
18. Allison G.
“The absolute sweetest! She snuggled with my cats for longer than she needed to - a true animal lover! I got pictures throughout my trip and they loved her! House was clean, everything was refreshed and my cats were semi-normal when I got home after being gone 14 days 🤣🤪”
19. Angie L.
“Angie has watched my dog a few times and is great! She treats him like her own. She sends me pictures and updates without asking and puts in effort to keep him busy/tire him out. I don’t trust many people to care for him as he is large and older but I would have Angie watch him over and over again!”
20. Andrew M.
“Had the pleasure of having Andrew watch my dog, Sage. Very reliable and Sage definitely always has a great time! Always on time and really dedicated to giving our pup the right amount of exercise she needs. As someone who does not work from home, we love having someone stop by to walk and take our pup out! Definitely recommend.”
