1. Aimee P.
“Aimee was wonderful, I will be definitely be asking her to visit with my kitty again! She was able to convince my extremely shy cat to come out from under the bed on her very first visit, and it was clear from all the updates during my lengthy trip that my cat adored her. She always shared great updates and pics, and she closely followed all of my quirky instructions about feedings. Highly recommend!”
2. Iryna K.
“Iryna went above and beyond with our chai! We have had many sitters and she has been the BEST! With feeding walking and playing during each visit we couldn’t have had a better person to drop in on our dog than Iryna! Highly recommend her”
3. Melissa S.

4. Arjun B.
“Arjun is an avid dog lover and a great caretaker of dogs. He also has good experience with rescue animals who may need special attention, as he has owned a few dogs like this in the past. He is very patient and responsible and would be great for any dog owner to work with.”
5. Erin H.
“Erin was a super thoughtful sitter to my cat while I was out of town, and a very communicative and reliable person. I will definitely book her again and reccommend her services wholeheartedly!”

8. Elise C.
“Highly recommend. Elise was a pleasure and my cats loved her. She took excellent care of them. Will definitely be a repeat customer if she’ll have me!”
9. Katie P.
“I enjoyed reading the fun Rover cards while I was away. Kimi was treated very well and was happy and content when I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Katie, and would book her again!”
10. Casey A.
“Casey did a great job taking care of and keeping my cat Cleo company. She took a ton of great pictures of the two of them having fun together. She was also very responsive and helpful in swapping out food and cleaning up after Cleo started experiencing some digestion issues.”
11. Heather R.
“We have used Heather's cat sitting services five times now and we will continue moving forward. We have her check in on our two cats two times each day we're out. She does an excellent job keeping us up to date on our boys with photos for each visit and quick notes saying everything is okay to keep our minds at ease during our trips. When one of our boys defecated outside the litter box, she kept us updated and kindly cleaned the mess. We have security cameras set up inside the home and have observed how responsible and dependable she is. Our instructions can get complicated at times with different diets and medications for each cat, but she is excellent at following them. We trust her so much that she has a copy of the keys to our home for future use. I definitely recommend her services!”
12. Julia D.
“Julia took excellent care of our foster care while we were away for a weekend! She sent updates with lots of photos, made sure that Valentine got his medication as instructed and provided plenty of playtime. It was great to feel at ease while traveling!”
13. Sahar A.
“Sahar was great with our kitties. This is our first time leaving Mittens with a sitter and we were a bit nervous, but Sahar seemed to get along with Mittens so well. Sahar sent us regular updates, pictures, and videos and it put us at ease while we were out of town. We would 100% book with Sahar again the next time we are out of town.”
14. Catie N.
“Catie had to make a change to the reservation due to a personal situation but she was super communicative to make sure I had time to find a sitter for the rest of the time and worked to get the key to the person as well. Vinnie loves her and would definitely hire her again when I need someone to watch her.”
15. Olga B.
“Olga was great! She was very responsive when I was trying to find a last-minute cat sitter. I felt very comfortable giving her access to my apartment and she seemed to really bond with my cat. Highly recommended!”
16. Brittany G.
About: I've had a small size dog for most of my childhood and now have a golden retriever of my own who is such a sweetheart and loves to play with other dogs! I have dog sat for several other dogs as well and they have the time of their lives when they are with me! I take them to the dog park, on walks, and just love to be around them and play with them. I will feed them when them whenever they need to be and take them outside frequently for bathroom breaks. I love to take care of dogs and I would love to help take care of your dog. I’m always excited to have another dog around to spend time with. I’m currently working from home 4 days a week which allows me plenty of time to spend playing, walking, and cuddling with any animals I am watching. Since I already have a dog, it’s no issues to add another dog to our walks and playing. I live in an apartment with a dog who will happily keep your pup company and have lots of toys and space to play with and care for your dog.
17. Bryn M.
“Bryn is fantastic! I know our cats are in excellent hands when she stops in and plays with them! They love hanging out with her. It’s also so nice knowing that they’re well taken care while we’re gone. It’s such a relief coming home to happy cats and a clean litter box area!”
18. Megan B.
“Megan has been great with our two dogs! She is very reliable and calm. Our dogs love her and we know they’re in good hands!”
19. Allie T.
“Allie was great! She was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. From the beginning, she confirmed the stay within minutes, came over to meet Nahla beforehand and provided updates/photos throughout the weekend. Nahla is a bit shy at first but it looks like it didn't take long for them to get along. I would absolutely reccomend Allie to pet sit and will certainly use her again.”
20. Angela P.
“Angela is wonderful she took amazing care of bub. Communication is fabulous as well. Highly recommend her. She will be our goto cat-sitter going forward”
