“Samantha was great! We recently adopted a very active and playful kitten. She did a fantastic job keeping him occupied and safe while we were away. Samantha was very punctual and had great communication. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Elizabeth took great care of our cat Bernie for 3 days. We always worry about leaving him with a pet sitter because he can be shy and skittish and doesn't always warm up to people he doesn't know. Elizabeth has the magic touch because Bernie was always (and immediately!) happy to see her and even came out to play. When we got back, Bernie was happy, well-adjusted and his usual goofy self. Definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking a reliable, friendly and professional pet sitter!”

“Just the sweetest! Our very shy doggies loved Lucy. She went at a speed that was comfortable for them. Reliable and sent lots of updates and kept great notes!”

“My cats were well cared for and came back to a clean home! My cats were well cared for and had fun playing with her. She provided a summary and pictures for every visit.”

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic taking care of our Ragdoll kitten while we were away for a week. It was our first time leaving our cat, who's still pretty young and energetic, so we were a little nervous. But Sarah made us feel so much better, and visited our cat twice a day for care and play. Sarah always gave us updates and photos, and communicated well both before and during our trip. Can't recommend her enough, and looking forward to working with her again.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have two Bernedoodles, Cosmo and Shep, who are the loves of my life and have taught me so much about caring for dogs.

Sam is great! She watched our oldest kitten when he was just a few months old, and again now that we have two! Our oldest loves playing with her and hanging out, and though our second is a little shy, she did manage to come out at the end of the visit. Sam is reliable and has great communication. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!
