“Hadija was very kind and patient with my pets who are very accustomed to “mommy” and on a pretty strict schedule. I appreciated the photos and regular updates as well. Thank you!”

“Connie did a great job taking care of our cat, Marvel, while we were away for one week. It was the first time Marvel was pet sat without her sister, Tasha, our dog who recently passed. Through this adjustment, Marvel certainly gave Connie a run for her money, but Connie made sure she was handled with care. We appreciated Connie's communication and commitment, and we hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Connie!!”

“Sara was amazing! She jumped right into action given it was a last min booking. She sent lots of pictures and videos and kept me informed on my baby through out the day. Definitely will be using Sara as long as she’s available.”

“Liana was wonderful and took great care of my dogs. She communicated with me sending me pictures and updates. She followed my care instructions beautifully and my home was clean upon my return. She was also very flexible when our flights were canceled. I definitely plan on using her again in the future. She do a great job!”

“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”

“Jaden does a wonderful job with our two dogs. She is very loving and the dogs are very comfortable with her. We have asked Jaden to watch our dogs again when we go on vacation. Definitely 5 stars!”

“I couldn’t have imagined a better sitter than Jess. She went above and beyond to care for our puppy and 2 cats. I received frequent updates and photos and reassurance that everything was going well. Our puppy wasn’t feeling well while we were away and Jess took such good care of her that I didn’t even have to worry. I recommend Jess for anyone that is looking for a caring, reliable and responsible sitter who will love your pet like her own.”

I treat every pet like they’re my own and take pride in being an animal person. I have plenty of experience with a wide range of animals and will make sure they remain safe when they’re in my care.
“Wilson was awesome! Our dog isn’t the friendliest with others, but Wilson took a chance with our family and we’re so grateful that he did. We gave him very specific instructions since our dog is very particular, and he followed everything perfectly. On top of that, he made the effort to play with our dog and give him attention — and to our surprise, our dog (who usually takes a long time to warm up to anyone) was comfortable with Wilson in just two days! He truly went above and beyond. We are so grateful and thankful. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Wilson to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring person to watch their pet. Highly recommend!”

“Casey has watched our pups during the holidays for the past two years and has always been very professional and attentive. She is great about communicating, and treats our pups like her own! Would definitely recommend!”

“I can’t say enough good things. Maria sent me pictures daily and kept me updated around the clock, ❤️❤️❤️ One big special request I have is that I have a Himalayan Persian cat and I needed his eyes cleaned every morning and she did beyond a wonderful job. I’ve never seen him cleaner. When I got home the cats always pur because they miss me but this time not even one single purr, that’s tells me they loved Maria’s company so much, they didn’t even miss me!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“We had such a great experience with Kayla. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Kayla did such a great job to calm his nerves. She was very patient with him and went out of her way to do a meet and greet prior to the appointment. He had such a good time! Highly recommend.”

“Christina watched our Brucey boy while we were away for our honeymoon and she was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and was always available when needed. I would 100% recommend using her as a pet sitter and will definitely be using her again myself! :)”

Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so attentive to mine and my 9 week old puppies' needs and was very communicative and accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter while I was away at work. She truly loves animals and was so confident in her love and ability to care for animals. 10/10 recommend!!!

Seana was booked for 4 days but unfortunately our travel plans got derailed due to Newark Airport but the night she spent with our pets I thought she was great. She was very responsive to our text messages & was very accommodating with our change of travel plans. I will definitely use Seana again!
