Karollyne follows instructions super well & is genuinely caring for my cats. When it was too cold and I had my window open, she closed it so that my kitties will not catch a cold. It’s the small details that matter! I would definitely book with her again.

I highly recommend Avantika for anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter! She watched my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care they provided. My cat was happy, well-fed, and relaxed when I returned, and Avantika kept me updated throughout with pictures and messages. Their attention to detail and genuine love for animals really put me at ease. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Avantika the next time I need a sitter!”

Marlita has checked in on our cat twice. She is very knowledgeable of cats and extremely thorough and reliable. Each time, we have felt at ease with our cat in her care. Overall, we have had great experiences with using Marlita’s services. She does a fantastic job! We would recommend Marlita to anyone looking for a cat sitter in this area.

Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!

Siyang is someone who loves animals and has great patience with them. She once helped me take care of my dog, who has severe anxiety issues. Even as the owner, I had to put in a lot of effort to keep my dog calm, but Siyang quickly built a bond with my dog, sparking curiosity and playfulness. She remained patient even when the dog acted out. Siyang is a trustworthy and reliable pet caregiver.

I am completely comfortable with Vanessa caring for Milo, my 17-year-old cat who has kidney disease. She is reliable, loving, and an excellent caretaker while I'm away. I know his litter is changed and he receives his meds. Kathy is amazingly affectionate with my lil old man cat. Thank you, Kathy!!!!!

Gary is incredible, he genuinely loves fur babies and always takes good care of them. I've known Gary and his 6 years old Border Collie, Hunter, for 5 years. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and is always patient and understanding about dogs' personalities and needs - Gary takes Hunter out for a walk 3-4 times a day, letting Hunter socialize with other dogs, and paying close attention to his physically and mental health (just look how beautiful and happy he is!). Gary also has around 3 years experiences taking care of my cat, Autumn. He always keep the litter box clean, and making sure Autumn has her supplement and dental treats. He is now one of Autumn's favorite people! I highly recommend Gary for dog/cat walking and sitting, you will not be disappointed!
