3. Emma S.
“For the last year, I have trusted Emma-Leigh as the cat sitter for my cat, Kali. I have hired her for weekends and week-long periods of time. Emma-Leigh has gone above and beyond my expectations in caregiving for my cat. For example, she takes time to play with and engage Kali in games. She has even taken time to repair Kali's cat tree without prompting from myself. She is responsible and reliable. Her attention to detail has been what sets her apart as someone I can trust. I know that when Emma-Leigh is sitting for my cat, she is in safe and capable hands. She has taken the time to get to know my cat's needs and temperament. Kali loves her, I know this because when ever she comes over, Kali will greet her with purrs, and affection. I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

“He did a fantastic job with a very difficult rescue doberman. My dog is particular about humans and has some serious trust issues, but John-Michael easily worked with her and helped put me at ease. My dog did great with him and it was obvious she was well taken care of while I was away. He was very communicative, took good care my dog and my house. I will definitely hire him again.”

13. Jeanette V.
“I can’t recommend my mom enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—kind, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life because of her, and she’s the one who taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and respect. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even the occasional rescue, she made sure every animal in our home was not only cared for but truly loved. She’s also one of the cleanest and most organized people I know, which makes a big difference when someone is trusting you with their home and their pets. She pays attention to every detail—making sure dogs are fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of affection and playtime. She treats every pet like they’re part of the family, because to her, they are. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced to care for your dog, my mom is the perfect choice. Your pup will be in the best hands.”
