“Karlee was so thoughtful about sending me updates about my shy cat Stan, very responsive and she also maximized time with him not only taking care of him but also playing and cuddling with him! An amazing experience I will definitely rebook her!!!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“I needed someone to check in on my cats every few days while I was away on a long trip. Samantha was so kind and did exactly that. She even stopped by beforehand to meet everyone and get a tour. I also loved the photos she shared with me from her visits, they were wonderful and very reassuring that everyone was doing okay.”
“Yet again, Kirtly saved the day (for many days)! The cats seem so happy in his care. Can't recommend him more highly, as someone for whom I am very very grateful!”

“Madelyn was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my cat, Yuki! 🐾 She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for kitty, and the house was just as I left it. I’d highly recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Claire was great with our cats! She was easy to communicate with, friendly, and responsible with our space. She even went above and beyond trying to find a missing cat cone. Definitely recommend!”
“Louisa was very friendly from the beginning and understood our needs for our little Simba. She maintained communication with me at every visit, send pics and videos. Simba was well taken care of.”
“Rachael was amazing! She gave us the comfort we needed while we were away that Loki was always doing well. A great description of each drop-in, combined with plenty of pictures, let us know Loki was healthy, safe, and happy. Would definitely book again, and certainly recommend to anyone else!”
