We had such a great experience with Megan! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave them—it gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾

Had a fantastic experience with Juli for two drop-in visits with our cat Dorian. The communication and detailed Rover card were great and though he can be a little shy at first around new people, he was absolutely loving Juli's company in the photos she sent. It's so great to know he's in good hands—I've already booked again for future visits. Thanks so much, Juli!

Highly recommend Carrie if you need a cat sitter! Carrie did check-ins for my senior cat while we were away for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had to leave my cat alone for that long before. The meet-and-greet with Carrie alleviated all my worries! She was wonderful with our cat, and gave him so much love, attention, and play time while we were away. Her update reports were always detailed and lovely to read, and she sent tons of great photos with each report. Everything was clean when we returned home (cat box empty/clean, litter swept off the floor). Carrie was always on time for meet-ups, check-ins, key exchanges etc, and is the perfect person to have check-in on your pet! :) I'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to check on our cat!

Holly was absolutely amazing. She took care of our three cats with such conscientiousness and love which was very evident given their behavior in the pictures she sent us. Two of our boys have health issues and need special food/medication and she handled that very adeptly. We will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we go somewhere. Thanks Holly!

Going on a 10-day trip and leaving your cats behind can be quite distressing. However, Nisa took great care during her time with our cats, ensuring they were well-fed and remained active with their toys. She also sent us some delightful photos of the cats, which was greatly reassuring. I'd recommend Nisa to anyone in need of cat care!

Loved having Hope care for our pup. She did 4 drop-in visits with feedings, walks. Gave us welcome feedback on the pup, who seemed well cared-for. Hope was easy to work with, friendly & personable, reliable. She even noticed an unplanned delivery & brought it in for us. Would recommend her with no hesitation!

Jenna’s help went above and beyond of our expectations. It was our first experience with pet sitter and I’m glad it turned out very well. We have two pets , a cat, and a dog. Our cat is easy to take care and Jenna did it perfectly. Our dog is a rescue, he gets nervous, anxious with new people, doesn’t trust them at all. He was never left by himself and never spent time away from us since he was adopted. Jenna was SOOOO patient and kind to him . She didn’t force him to like her. She just waited slowly gaining dog’s trust by being kind, caring, sweet and of course knowledgeable. She was sending us such an informative reports ( including pictures) on how our pets are doing . We were nervous at first that our dog won’t get along with her but he did. That helped us to spend our 1 week vacation knowing that our fur kids are in a great hands. WE ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDING JENNA and definitely would like to have her helping us again ! Thank you so much Jenna, Dima, Sasha, Meeko and Chuchi :)

Rachel is wonderful with our kitty. She is communicative and considerate. She tries to play with Stormy, gives her treats, feeds her, and cleans up after her, and is a great relief that we have her to pet sit when we go out of town. I’d highly suggest her.

Susie has checked in on my kitties and provided them excellent care a few times now-my super anxious one even comes out of hiding when she is dropping in. She is always the first person I ask and it puts my mind at ease to know she is going to be with them! I highly recommend her. She goes the extra mile and even stopped by to remove a possibly dangerous item the cats could have gotten into if they got bored enough, outside of the window I booked her because I was worried the cats could get into something they shouldn't have. All around, she provides 5 star service and really loves cats. :)

Lesley did a great job taking care of our kitties! Sometimes they can take a while to warm up and engage with people, but they seemed to be happy to play with her right away. Lesley was very communicative about her drop in visits and sent lots of pictures. I would be happy to book with her again.

We’ve been working with Juli for several years now. Although we only ask her to come by intermittently, she is always our first choice. We trust her completely with our fur family. She’s an excellent communicator and completely dependable. One of the things we like the best is her comprehensive and detailed report cards and she takes lots of pictures. Juli is an absolute pro and we really appreciate her!

This was our first experience leaving our beloved calico, Macy, with a non-family member during a trip. We're so happy it was with Kayleigh. Our normally reserved cat greeted her at our first meeting with ankle rubs, as if she were a family member! Kayleigh kept in touch every day sending several pictures, and she even took care of the ants who invaded Macy's food bowl! We'd be very happy to have her help again on our next trip.

Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!

10/10 would recommend & rebook. Megan was really great with our fur babies as well as keeping us informed while we were away. We forgot to leave the TV on for our pets and she remembered our conversation during our initial meeting, and turned on the TV for them. The peace of mind and care she provided was everything we could have asked for.
