“Lavinia was lovely! She took great care of my cat, including administering oral medication, and she sent lots of adorable photos. I’d definitely book with her again :)”
“Amanda was so caring. She sent tons of pictures and was extremely communicative at every step. My building had a few hiccups, and she was very patient and proactive. This was the longest my cat has ever been without me, and Amanda made it a good experience for the both of us.”
“Kaira was an amazing drop-in sitter to our two cats! We knew we were in great hands as soon as we met her for a meet and greet, and she gave great updates and photos every day to reassure us that our fur babies weren’t missing us too much! Will definitely look to Kaira first next time we’re out of town!!”
“OMG...I cannot even express how awesome Christian is as a pet sitter! My shy kitties warmed up to him (especially on his last visit...likely, knowing it will be awhile before they see him again...lol) and they were very well taken care of. 100% peace of mind and highly recommend!!”
“I had to find a pet sitter fairly last minute and was able to connect with Amanda. Thank you for being so flexible, attentive and communicative during your drop in visit!

“Claire took great care of our kitty while we were away. She tends to get depressed when we go out of town and leave her, but she seemed to be in good spirits when we returned. Claire is great with cats. I would rebook with her.”
“Alicia was terrific. She was quick to respond and her communication has been excellent. She came in advance for a meet and greet, which was greatly appreciated. Our pup can get scared with new people in the house if we're not around and Cali took to Alicia very quickly. They had a great time and we look forward to having her back on a regular basis. Thanks!”
“Jenna visited my cat Mina while my husband and I were away. She did a fantastic job! I loved the videos she sent us of Mina. Jenna is a great communicator and was very responsive while messaging. Our cat is a social cat and I could tell that Jenna went out of the way to play and interact with her. In addition, our cat loved Jenna — she was constantly purring and begging for Jenna’s attention. Mina was well cared for (her food, water, and litterbox were perfectly maintained and monitored) & it made our time away from home less stressful knowing that Mina was in good hands. I highly recommend Jenna!”

“I appreciate the last minute Request to walk Nitro.. you went over and beyond I feel with coming for a drop-in-turned walk and drop off to PetSmart for grooming, so I just wanna thank you for that. I couldn’t get off work to take him and I was sent off by someone, so appreciate ya and will be hitting you up again.”

Jenie was awesome with my baby cat Kendrick. She played with him every visit and gave him all the love he needed. When I returned after my 3-week trip he was 100% his adorable, affectionate, hilarious self and it gives me such peace to know he remained that way because he was so well taken care of. Thank you so much Jenie! You're a gift to us and our animal children ❤️
Rachel went above and beyond for my kitten! She treated him like he was her own. I received great pictures of her playing fetch with his favorite toy (springs) and giving him a ton of love. She even reached out with small questions to ensure his feeding was done correctly, as he has prescription food. Leaving a pet is hard and Rachel made it so much easier.
Autumn is a world class catsitter. She immediately understood our cats’ personalities and needs and they warmed to her right away. She took such good care of them and sent lots of photos of the cats having a wonderful time. So grateful for her diligence and loving work! Will definitely hire her again!
