1. Kate R.

“Kate was amazing! She did everything I asked her to do with the cats, left great notes, and kept me up to date with any issues. I felt very safe leaving my two kitties with her!”


2. Amy P.

“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”


3. Michelle C.

“We have had Michelle take care of our cats several times now, and she has done a great job every time. Our cats really seem to like her! She is very communicative and sends lots of great photos, and she really took the stress out of leaving our babies for an extended period of time. She was even kind enough to water our plants! Highly recommend Michelle”


4. Jennifer F.


“Jennifer was responsive, positive and playful with our pup, and accommodated us in short notice! Will definitely work with Jennifer in the future!”


5. James C.
“James did a great job taking care of my cat. James was very attentive and followed directions. He played with my cat a lot and did very good with her.”




6. Aichon Y.


“We are so happy to add Aichon to our pups daily routine. Aichon sends us pictures and updates so we know how they are doing. Thank you for the peace of mind!”


7. Elle K.

“Elle was great to work with! She was a great communicator who quickly responded to messages. She was thorough about updating me when she checked in on my dog and cat. I was happy to get photo updates and descriptions of how the check ins went. I will absolutely ask her to dog/cat again!”


8. Juliana O.

“First time Rover couldn't have asked for a better experience Great communication came through in a pinch took time before the sitting to come meet JuJu and her relaxed approach kept him at ease Highly recommended”


9. Henry C.

“Henry was great! He offered to set up a meet and greet prior to the pet sitting. He was also extremely punctual and kept me in the know of when he was going to arrive. Highly recommend!”


10. Sarah M.

“Sarah was so great working with me on figuring out a schedule while I was out of town to help take care of goose. She did everything I asked and more and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”




11. Jackson A.

“Jackson is a lifesaver with our dogs! We have a 10 mo. aus-shepherd mix with aggression and fear issues (wont allow strangers to come near us, or into the house or backyard). After a few visits with Jackson our dog is now so happy to see him each time! Jackson is one of the very few people our dog allows into our home, as well as to hang out and play with him and leash him for walks (if anyone has dealt with an aggressive dog they know the struggles, so to find someone we can count on for our pup is priceless). I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson!”


12. Xan E.
“Xan is a reliable pet sitter. Xan is kind and considerate of animals unique personalities and needs. Xan will give your pet attention, exercise, and will make sure their needs are met. I hope Xan can watch my dogs in June and July. I recommend Xan for pet sitting.”


13. Bade T.
“Bade is a kind, responsible, compassionate person and one of the biggest animal lovers I know. She knows how to have fun with dogs and cats, but is also mindful of their safety and wellbeing. She is very knowledgable about dog and cat behavior. I know this because I have personally entrusted her with taking care of my two feline babies. I have also accompanied her on dog walks and seen how attuned she is to individual dogs' needs. Your pet would be in the best possible hands with her. She is also very responsive and easy to communicate with.”


14. Lilah F.
“Lilah is a fun dog-loving person. She is a very reliable and organized person. I have full confidence that your dogs will have the best care with Lilah as the sitter!”


15. Andy W.

“Andy did great at taking care of my difficult cats-one with diabetes and the other one scared. Great job, very happy they were well cared for.”


16. Courtney K.
“Courtney is a true dog lover. She is so good with Kramer, who's such a cutie! She takes him on walks and teaches him tricks and good manners. She feeds him healthy food and plays with him frequently. Kramer follows her around like crazy and does lots of snuggling. You'll love Kramer and the owner, Courtney, is even better!”


17. Melanie N.

“I came home to happy kitties and an orderly house...love Melanie's pet sits Always pix and cute updates. I especially appreciate Melanie's attention to my special requests. I can always count on happy kitties and a well cared for home.”


18. Andrew H.

“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”


19. Alisha K.

“Alisha was absolutely amazing! I needed someone to drop in last-minute over a holiday weekend because my previous plans fell through, and she graciously squeezed in a quick meet-and-greet and agreed to take care of my cat just a couple days before I was set to leave. Took great care of Beast and provided timely (and cute) updates, and even handled a couple extra things that I SUPER appreciated. Would definitely recommend to others!”


20. Marit H.

“Mari did great with my dog Tucker! He's an older dog with a lot of needs and she handled everything well. She was on time and sent me lots of photos and updates on how he was doing.”
