1. Bradley M.
“Bradley was great with my crew of 7 pets including a wild Australian Shepherd. He was very respectful and on time and paid attention to all my pets (when they weren't hiding). The most shy of the cats even came out of hiding after getting used to him being in the home. I loved that Bradley sent photos for every visit and had prompt communication with me. I was very satisfied with Bradley's service and would recommend him and even hire him again in the future!”
2. Jensen F.
“Jensen is amazing with my girls she takes time & effort to go above and beyond. She also is great with dog behaviors and suggestions. She also is great for senior dogs”
3. Leesa H.
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
4. Sierra H.
“My kitties and I feel lucky to have found Sierra! She’s always been punctual and attentive to the needs of my cats. I appreciate her always taking the time to leave thoughtful summaries of her visits and for all the wonderful photos!”
5. Anne Y.
“Anne was great with our two cats ! I’m always nervous leaving them but they were in great hands while we were gone. Anne communicated with us and sent a lot of pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”
6. Britany R.
“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”
7. Abby M.
“It was really great to have Abby drop by to look after my kitties while I was away for my wedding during the holidays. I could be free of worries during my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
8. Brittany H.
“Brittany took excellent care of my kitties while I was away on a trip. My cats are usually shy of strangers but they seemed to be comfortable around her, which was really great. I would fully recommend her as a sitter for others based on my experience.”
9. Amanda S.
“Amanda goes beyond in her level of care and is flexible with my constantly changing schedule. I would be lost without her and my dogs love her. Hire her first!”
10. Kara E.
“Kara was an excellent companion for our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She came around the same time every day and sent us thorough updates, photos, and videos. If Pete could give a review it would be a five paw too- Kara was patient and loving enough to coax him out of his hiding spots to play and even offer a belly! 100% recommend Kara!”
11. David D.
“David worked hard to coordinate with us when the keypad did not work on the access. He waited for me to reply and figured out how to get in another way with my help. Very much appreciated!”
12. Daniela D.
“I have know Daniela for several years now, and as a fellow dog owner myself, I can confidentially say that she has the best qualities to take care of your fur babies! Daniela is a bright soul who has so much love in her heart! She is the type of person that animals are drawn to because of her caring and bubbly personality. Alongside that, she is one of the hardest working people I have ever met! She is very organized and on top of things, and her work ethic is almost inspirational. She is very experienced with watching animals, and is always the person we go to if we know we will need a pet sitter. If you were to choose Daniela to watch your baby, I promise you will not be disappointed!”
13. Monroe B.
“Monroe has been great with checking on our cats! She always writes a great summary of each visit, and takes precious photos! We feel so confident that our cats are getting so much love when she comes to visit :) we are grateful for Monroe, and will definitely ask to book with her for our future travels!!”
14. Stephanie A.
“Wonderfully attentive and great with cats! Stephanie communicated often and let us know the disposition and wellbeing of each of our cats. 5 star cat care :)”
15. Wendy S.
“Wendy did a great job caring for my Quaker parrot, Cassie. She gave my attention-loving Cassie (who is used to me being home big chunks of the day) care and thoughtful attention twice a day while I was gone on a trip. I came back to a happy bird.”
16. Petey P.
“Petey was so helpful w my grumpy elder male cat. He cleaned up after him even when he spotted poo markings on a chair, and kept me up to date on how he was doing w his meds, poops (big part of his diabetes and elder cat needs) and spirit :) wish I could use him again in Nola but he'll be moving to OH! Good luck and thanks so much Petey!”
17. Yolena M.
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”
18. Haley H.
“Haley was amazing with our three cats while we were away. Even the timid cats came out to hang out with her! We'll definitely be booking again.”
19. Madeline K.
