Valeriia took care of my cat over the holidays. She was great with communication and my cat loved her! I would happily hire her again and would recommend her to others as well.

Jake wasn’t able to get into our apartment till 30 minutes past his start time because our doorman was out and he stuck around 10 minutes past his end time to make up for it without us asking. He was friendly with our puppy and attentive.

Dani was wonderful. I hired her to take care of my ragdoll cat while I was away for over a week. Dani has done an outstanding job! She has provided daily reports with pictures and detailed notes on each visit which gave me a peace of mind that my pet was in the great hands. I recommend hiring Dani - she is the best pet sitter I’ve come across in a very long time!

Nelson took care of my (toothless) 9-year-old cat, Archie, over the holidays — which was a life-saver, as it was a last-minute booking. He is super attentive to all instructions and requests, and will provide your cat with cuddles and pets if needed :)

Yiting is beyond awesome! She took great care of my cat Mason while I was traveling and show up every day even during the holidays and blizzards! 💗 she as a cat owner herself, knows well about cat and she stayed longer every time with my cat to make sure they have quality time. Yiting initiated greet and meet at the very beginning which is also very professional. I was so happy that Yiting looked after Mason so well so that I could be more relieved. She is the best!

Mars is so fantastic with our little fur baby. And she’s one of the best photographers! Somehow she got the perfect action shot of our little puppy. She’s very responsive and provides great feedback on her time with our pet. We were so happy with her we rebooked her while she was still in the middle of our first few visits.

Thanks again.
