7. Gail B.
“Gail is and has always been a dog lover. She cares deeply about animals and has taken the best care of her own. As her dog aged and had health issues she took excellent care of him. He was a lucky dog to have her. She would take great care of yours as well. On the professional side Gail is dependable, responsible and experienced in the care of dogs and cats. Most of all she will give them lots of love and affection.”
8. Leah S.
“Leah was very professional and friendly. Scheduled a meet and greet before her visit and asked lots of questions to make sure she was prepared. Would book again!”
9. Sadé C.
“Sadé was so sweet and caring, I felt extremely comfortable leaving my cat in her care! She sent lots of adorable pictures and kept me updated on his eating and play time! I would definitely rebook with her again!”
10. Kayla S.
“Kayla stepped in to take care of Mylo while my sitter was out of town. She took such great care of him and he’s so excited and at ease with her presence. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their doggie!”
11. Colin C.
“Colin is incredibly attentive and goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are happy and comfortable. He took the time to meet with me beforehand to understand their routines, preferences, and quirks. I appreciated how he genuinely cares about each of my pets.”
12. Jamie G.
“Jamie was absolutely amazing! Astra loved him and enjoyed all of her lap time with him! Thanks again Jamie for giving Astra all the love and snuggles while I was away.”
13. Emma T.
“Would give 10/5 if I could! I have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people, especially when I’m not there, and Emma did phenomenal with meeting my pets and making them feel comfortable with her super quickly. She was very responsive and it was amazing how much care she provided with my super super last minute booking— I am so so glad to have found someone I can trust with my pets who genuinely enjoys being with them and caring for them. A wonderful person to interact with, cannot recommend enough for easy or more difficult pets!”
14. Louis S.
“Louis is our go-to kitty caregiver whenever we are out of town. Our kitties Zippy and Elvis adore him. He takes especially good care of our old man Zippy, giving him oral medication and lots of gentle and loving affection. Our teenager Elvis is a little shy at first but Louis has the magic touch and now he loves their playtime and he gets the exercise he needs. Louis is reliable, professional, and friendly and sends the BEST kitty pics!. They always look happy! We hate to leave our fur babies but we feel better knowing they are in Louis's kind hands.”
15. Mara B.
“Mara was great! She took great care of our puppy, and on short notice. Thank you!”
16. Kaitlan P.
“Where do I start? Kaitlan was amazing from start to finish! She was professional, responsive, and a great communicator. Detail-oriented, on top of things, and proactively sensitive to my cats’ needs. She took in a large amount of detail, including somewhat complex instructions about feeding, medication, supplements, and the like, with ease—not at all fazed. She also asked great questions that showed she cared about what she was doing. Naoko warmed to her immediately—during the initial meet-and-greet—and as for the Lissette, within a single day of being under Kaitlan’s care, she was giving Kaitlan kisses and love-bites. Kaitlan went above and beyond, sweeping up stray litter, cleaning wax from below Naoko’s ear, bringing in a heat-sensitive package, keeping an eye on temperature and humidity and adjusting ACs as needed, and spending time with the cats so that they got interaction and connection in addition to food, water, and medicine. She discovered that if she sat on the floor with Naoko, Naoko would eat more of her food. (Something I’ll have to try!) She devised a strategy for making sure Lissette got all her medication eaten in the morning. She noticed things like Naoko’s desire for window time and Lissette enjoying company while she eats. Her updates always brought a smile to my face (sometimes even a laugh), with great details (about things like litter box output, amount of food eaten, and the girls’ mood, as well as lovely notes about milestones like kisses and lap-sitting) and wonderful photos. I’m sure I’m missing something, because there was a lot to praise about Kaitlan’s services, but suffice it to say she exceeded my expectations and has my emphatic endorsement!”
17. Jasmine V.
“I am so happy I found Jasmine and that she was amazing with my babies. Having recently moved I needed to find a new sitter that I trusted and my babies felt comfortable. She did a meet and greet which I appreciated. Her communication is great, always notifies of changes and is very flexible. Her updates were appreciated since it was the first time I went out of town for this long. My babies are happy with her and Inwill be using her regularly.”
18. Natalia K.
“Natalia couldn’t be a better dog sitter to my little floofer. She checked in often, she took care of him, and was incredibly punctual and organized. I don’t think I can say enough about how big of a help she is to our family. Rexy loves Natalia - almost to where we don’t exist anymore when she comes by! I’d trust her with my dog, my kids, and my house.”
19. Alicia D.
“Alicia helped me at the last minute on my wedding day. She did an excellent job walking my 2 guys while I was getting married. Thank you so much!”
20. Kolbyn A.
“Kolbyn was so lovely!!! She came to check on my cat at the same time each day and sent lots of pictures, I felt really safe that my cat was in great hands. Super reliable, friendly and will definitely be rebooking when I’m out of town in the future, thank you again!!”
