“We've worked with Paul many times now and he is always friendly, professional, and great with our pets. As always, he gave wonderful care and attention!”
“Amy took care of my two dogs whilst I was on vacation for a week. She promptly arrived every day at 7 am and 7 pm, fed the dogs, and took them for a walk. They were comfortable in their home and well cared for by Amy in my absence.”
“Will was a pleasure to work with. With him caring for Poppy and sending me daily photos of her, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. He was reliable and Poppy was well taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others, and I would be happy to employ him again.”
“Janne was amazing with our cats! They all have such different personalities and she catered to each so well. She was also reachable and responsive. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and would definitely request her services again if available. Thank you again, Janne!”

“Lindsay took wonderful care of our kitty while we were traveling, providing regular updates and pictures, and checking in about household matters as needed. She helped us monitor for increased anxiety, which our kitty has experienced during travel before and was very communicative. Her conscientious care allowed us to enjoy our travels with an easy mind and our kitty was happy as a clam! We can't wait to have Lindsay back.”

“Taylor is a great communicator, always left prompt feedback, and got our very shy cat to be comfortable. We will definitely try to book Taylor again!”
“We have worked with Kyle and Jessica before and were so grateful they could fit us in on shorter notice while we went out of the country. We came home to happy and calm cats and we cannot recommend these two enough. Thank you both for allowing us to have zero worries while out of town with great communication and personalized updates.”
“Alex took great care of my dog Beethoven! He was happy and healthy when I got home and Alex sent regular updates so I knew how Beethoven was doing the whole time I was out of town. Thanks!”
“Bell was a great sitter for my cat. She was very attentive and communicative throughout the entire booking. She also left great Rover cards with updates and pictures!”

“Rachel was incredibly kind, thorough, and communicative during my last-minute absence due to an unexpected event. She gave my elderly pet three different daily meds and was very patient with both cats and their needs. My very shy cat warmed up to her and even ate in front of her which was amazing!”
“The cats got wonderful care from Erin. She was very reliable and communicative, and followed all of my quirky directions perfectly. They seemed very content when I got home! I'm thrilled I have Erin nearby to care for my cats when I need to leave town.”
“Mylee was great taking care of my super shy cat, Andi, while I was gone for the holiday weekend. Especially because the trip was last-minute, I greatly appreciate how Mylee was responsive & flexible during the booking and meet & greet process. Andi takes a long time to warm up to people, but she was showing her belly to Mylee almost immediately! It gave me ease of mind to know Andi was being taken care of and also that her separation anxiety (and mine!) would be reduced while I was traveling. Happy to have a new sitter for my Andi in Durham! (:”
“I can't recommend Colby highly enough! She went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Molly. Not only did she ensure that Molly was well-fed and comfortable, but she also took the time to play with her, which made a huge difference. Communication was excellent throughout the entire period. Colby kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Molly was in great hands.If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter, Colby is the one to choose!”
“Sofia was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. It was clear that all of my animals loved her, including two of my more skittish and shy pets. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Blake was wonderful about sending photos of my cat. I think my cat will miss her more than she missed me! Lol. It was nice to enjoy my vacation knowing Annabelle was safe and well cared for.”
