Nicholas is the BEST cat sitter I have ever found for my cat Aries. My cat has a big personality and loves attention. Nicholas gives him all the love and affection while also making sure to maintain the food and litter while I am away. He is also on a prescription diet and Nicholas follows the important feeding schedule perfectly. It gives me such great peace of mind knowing my little talkative fluff ball is being so well taken care of. Thank you!

Alexander took really great care of our cat. He spent time playing with her and followed our instructions perfectly. He was easy to communicate with and sent several sweet pictures of her each visit. Sometimes pets seem stressed when you come home from a vacation, but we came home to a calm & happy kitty.

Leila was wonderful with my two kittens! They’re usually pretty shy but warmed right up to her on her first drop-in. She sent pictures/updates each day and took great care of them. I would recommend Leila to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy petsitter.

I love walking around the city and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets is something that I look forward to incorporating into my new routine! I have been trusted to care for pets in their owners’ homes since I was 12. I will show you and your home respect as I provide loving care to your pet.

Carol was an amazing dog sitter and walker. I always worry when it comes to my reactive Shiba Inu but Carol truly took my instructions to heart and I really felt at ease. Bonus is that she took excellent update photos too!

Reyhan was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats when we travelled for 10 days. At each check-in she not only took basic care of our cats but also played with them, shared adorable photos, and alerted us early about potential issues with their energy levels or food. They turned out to be just fine, but we appreciated knowing that they were being cared for by someone who was so attentive. We felt at ease when we were on our vacation. Thank you, Reyhan!
