1. Catherine M.
“Catherine was amazing with my two elderly cats! I have a lot of anxiety about leaving them alone, especially since one of them needs an injected medication with his meals. Catherine was consistently communicative and is clearly a conscientious pet caregiver. Both cats warmed up to her very quickly and were very well taken care of while I was away.”

“Jubilee is wonderful. Lexie is extremely cautious of strangers but warmed right up to Jubilee. As long as she is available, I will choose her over anyone else. Thank you is not enough”
17. Lauren S.
“I can't recommend Lauren highly enough as a pet sitter! While I was away, she took exceptional care of my dog. From the moment I left, I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Lauren kept me updated with regular photos and messages, so I could see he was happy and well-cared for. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, and even went above and beyond by taking him on extra walks and giving him lots of love and attention. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter, look no further than Lauren.”
18. Gabriella R.
“Ella always watches my two dogs, Hallie and Miller, when we go out of town. The dogs love her and it’s so much more convenient than boarding them! She’s the best!!”
19. Kendyll P.
“Pets have been a part of Kendyll’s entire life! She loves dogs and cats, regardless of breed, size or age. Kendyll will be very affectionate and loving - she is not afraid to cuddle and snuggle (if the pet wants to of course). She will follow specific directions about your pets care - our dog requires medicine on a specific schedule plus special food so she’s experienced and understands that pet care goes beyond just putting food in a bowl.”
20. Madeline L.
“On animal welfare, Maddie puts her money where her mouth is. She's worked with the humane society as long as I've known her, both as a volunteer and an employee, and it's clear how much she cares about the cats, dogs, and other animals that call the shelter their halfway house. She commits to memory the names and needs of every new arrival, uses her artistic talents to help fundraising efforts, and it has always been her greatest professional concern to see that every animal under her care finds a warm and loving home.”
