1. Lisa B.
“Lisa took such great care of my shy cat while we were away, and her daily updates helped calm my anxiety of leaving my cat. She followed my instructions carefully and left the house in the same condition we left it. Plus, she watered the plants! I will be using her again!”
2. Carole N.
“Carole was wonderful! She was flexible with taking a last minute booking which was much appreciated. Our cats immediately warmed up to her when we had a meet-and-greet. Her updates and photos gave us lots of peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!”
3. Natalie B.
“Natalie was fantastic, she was so consistently communicative and incredibly thoughtful throughout the weekend that we had her cat sitting for us, and really obviously cared about our fur babies! She brought extra treats for the cats and used their favorite toys during her drop-in visits, and was very attentive and attuned to what the girls needed and were comfortable with from her as they got to know her for the first time. It was such a relief knowing our kitties were in great hands while we were away, and it sounded like the cats warmed right up to Natalie too, even though they usually really take their time getting comfortable around new people! She'll be my first call next time we need a cat sitter!”
4. Abbie W.
“Abbie is great. Even if its a 30 minute session she sometimes will stay extra with her. She is very caring and attentive with Georgia.”
5. Liz W.
“Liz took care of my cat and they were an amazing sitter! My cat had some stomach problems and unfortunately made a mess and Liz helped clean up and kept me updated on how my cat was doing. I would 100% recommend them to take care of your fur baby!”
6. Jen N.
“Jen helped me medicate my difficult orange boy cat Kiwi. She also cleaned his eyes several times and fed him churus to appease him. She did a great job, was punctual and reliable, and bonded with my cats. Highly recommended! I would hire her again without a doubt.”
7. Nico O.
“Nico is a dog lover from birth. She had no choice. She, as an infant, shared a sheep skin rug with Siberian Huskies, Natasha and Sydnee. They nudged her and kissed her and tended to her all day long. If she cried they kissed her. If she had an accident they both came and whined until she was taken care of. She talked to the dogs and they talked to her. She speaks four languages plus dogie talk. She is the real deal. I am her mother and biggest fan.”
8. Isabel B.
“Isabel was very communicative and sent lots of pictures playing with Baxter!!”
9. Olivia J.
“Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with my dog - and so, so communicative. My dog loved her right away! I couldn't be happier - I've already rebooked her twice.”
10. Jessica A.
“Jess was available with only a few days notice and was very prompt with all responses while scheduling. While last minute isn’t how I like to roll, our holiday plans changed unexpectedly. She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”
11. Stacey D.
“Stacey was amazing with our two cats. She is very dependable and respectful and loves animals. Very kind and courteous! Thank you!! Will book again for sure!”
12. Katherine W.
“Katherine was amazing! This was my first time leaving my cat alone with a stranger but I was not worried at all. Katherine took great care of Coconut while I was gone and sent lots of update photos. She was able to help on very short notice and had no issues with a bit of a complicated feeding schedule. I can't recommend her enough! Thanks again Katherine :)”
13. Melissa K.
“Melissa did a really good job taking care of my cat during the holiday week. She even offered to clean up the litter that my cat kicked everywhere which was much appreciated!”
14. Mikayla & Justin W.
“Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!”
15. Katelyn W.
“Katelyn was great with my cat. I’m So thankful for her help :)”
16. Marie C.
“Marie did an amazing job! Our dog was so happy and Marie sent us plenty of pictures while we were away.”
17. Mengdongxue H.
“Mengdongxue gave my cat her wet food, provided attention with scratches and pets, and cleaned her litter box while I was away. Mengdongxue sent daily photos of my cat excited for M’s arrival and enjoying her scritches and belly rubs in all her cuteness, which really put my mind at ease. Mengdongxue will win your pets love as she really cares about animals, is enthusiastic, helpful and communicative. I would highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet!”
