“Amy did a great job of taking care of my two kittens. They were well taken care of, she gave them lots of love and play time. She provided great communication and lots of pictures”


“Erica was amazing with our kitties. She was a huge help and helped by adding extra visits since I biffed on the scheduling. We didn’t have to cut our trip short. I will always book her moving forward.”


“Hi, Zoey! I can’t seem to text you directly so I’m leaving you this message via a great review for you. Thanks again for taking such good care of Jasmine, for the pics and detailed notes, and for all the other things you did. Best wishes for a wonderful sophomore year!”


“Beth was exceptional with our cats. She kept in close communication while we were gone and gave regular updates. It was evident that the cats were comfortable with Beth; when we got home they showed no signs of stress or misbehavior. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”


“Chloe took excellent care of my 2 cats- She is reliable, kind & did a great job.”


“This is the second time I had Jenny come for my kitties and she was amazing. Of course she sent lots of adorable photos of my kitties to me while I was out of the country. But the best part is that both my kitties respond to her so well. I’ve got one who always hides when people come over, but not with Jenny! Plus she does all the things I ask of her with respect to the cats’ care. I will use her again on my next trip!”



“Maria was very nice and super flexible with our changing plans. She came out to meet our cats before, you can tell that she really wants to bond with them and takes time to let them warm up to her as ours are pretty shy. She sent pictures and updates, which was greatly appreciated.”


“Amy is wonderful, I felt completely comfortable having her check in on my pets…cats, rabbits and fish! She is so reliable, and confidently gave my clever kitty her meds with no problems everyday. I cannot recommend Amy enough!”


“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”


“Jason agreed to check in on the cats semi-last minute - and did a great job as usual! I definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for more cat care in the future!”


“Grace did a great job with our senior pup and cat on recent drop in visits and walks. She was responsive, professional, and timely - and most importantly, the animals were really sorry to see her go!!”


“Crystal treated Jelly as if he were her own. She used every minute of her time for Jelly's well-being. Always on time, and highly communicative with detailed updates with photos. Thank you, Crystal”


“Marta was very good with Willow. She was able to accommodate us last minute and was very flexible when we needed to add a day. She took excellent care of her and kept us up to date on how she was doing.”


“Sydney was amazing on levels! Great communicator, kind, caring, and dependable! She was a joy to work with and felt reassured while away!! Thanks again!!”



“Dennis & Nikki were AMAZING! I had a last-minute situation come up and they were so flexible and patient with me adjusting my dates. They took excellent care of my little ones, sending detailed notes and cute photos. My sassy little cat even warmed up to them enough to get her picture taken (very rare, such an honor lol). I felt so much better with my cats in their care and would definitely work with them again.”

Tammy D.
“I have known Tammy for nearly 20 years. She is passionate about her family and her pets! When she visits me my cat naturally gravitates to her the minute she arrives. We both share a love for cats although she also loves dogs. We have spent many days visiting the cat shelter in Fairfax where she is so compassionate for cats of all ages, gravitating to giving the more feeble cats lots of love. Tammy would care for other peoples pets as she does for her own. She is responsible, caring, compassionate and definitely a pet person! Highly recommended!”

Julia takes really good care of the dogs and stays with them while we are gone. She is in charge of walking, feeding and taking care of them while we are gone. My family trusts Julia to watch our dogs not only because she has experience with dogs, but because we know she will do a good job taking care of them because she loves animals. Julia is very passionate about animals especially dogs which makes her good for these kinds of jobs.”
