Top rated Ellwanger-Barry pet sitters

“Lavinia exudes sincere kindness and responibility, just what what I was looking for my multiple cats when I went to New Mexico for two weeks recently. She was extremely on point with my finicky, to say the least, detailed instructions, clearly showed my fur babies affection and left their feeding areas and home in general in perfect condition. I will ask her to sit again and again as needed and strongly recommend you do the same!”


“Paige was amazing! She was a quick responder to messages, communicative, detailed in her overviews of the drop ins, an extremely kind person, and did great/was accommodating with my cat! I would rebook in a heartbeat 😊”


“Alexandra was amazing with Rocky! She managed to get my shy cat to warm up to her in no time. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your pets, but I felt very at ease knowing Alexandra was taking care of him. Will definitely be contacting her the next time I need care for Rocky.”


“anna is such a lovely human and an incredible communicator. she stopped by to feed our cat & dog and made sure our dog went to the bathroom. she followed all of the instructions left and sent photos and updates during her time with our girls! so grateful to have a trustworthy person come to take care of our girls! will definitely book anna again in the future :)”



“Did an outstanding job making sure my cats area was clean and tidy. Communication was great and made sure all was great for our cats. Will recommend to others and hope to use Matthew in the future when needed.”


“Emily did a great job with the drop in for my kitten. I book her last minute and she was able to book with me. Sent me pictures of the visit and even brought my mail inside for me :)”


“We love having Tina watch our pets! We feel so comfortable having her over to take care of our cats. She asks questions if needed and gives great pictures and updates. She is the only person we have hired to pet sit because she is so great.”


“Priya toom great care of Ghibli. Very communicative when needed. And you can tell she cares about your pet. Can't recommend enough, will definitely reach out in the future for any future plans.”


“Alyssa does a great job caring for my cats while I’m away! She’s super easy to communicate with! It’s nice to know my cats are being well taken care of while I’m gone!”


“We've booked Caroline a few times now and we've been so pleased each time. This most recent booking our cats were determined to make it hard for Caroline but she was up to the task. She was able to apply medicine to our more aloof (and angry) cat, ensure their diets were met, and even cleanup a few messes made by said cat. Caroline's updates were thorough and we looked forward to them every day.”


“If you’re looking for peace of mind with your fur babies then look no further. Steffen went above and beyond for my two senior pups while I was out of town. Not only was he great with them, his communication with me was also on point. He genuinely cares and really sets the bar high for other sitters. Thank you again”


“Melissa took excellent care of our two cats! She had excellent communication during booking and while we were away. We are very thankful that she was available and would absolutely rebook in the future.”


“My diabetic cat with urinary problems was required to take 2 types of medicine, daily. My left paralysis handicap made that impossible for me to do. Ona eased my panic. She was on time, daily and gave him both medicines as professionally as a vet would do, and encouraged him as only an animal lover knows how to do. He loved her. Ona is a kind, personable person. I would trust giving her a key for the vacation, I’m going to go on, shortly. She ”checks off all the boxes”, of someone you’d want to take care of your pets. Thank you, Ona!!!”


“Another stellar booking with Ronnie! We have total confidence in him, he does a great job - I don't think our cat even missed us. Plus he watered my outdoor plants in the 90+ degree heat. Cannot recommend highly enough!”


“We had to take a much longer time away from our dog than we wanted to - Emalee was responsive and beyond helpful! She really understands our dog and made the trip much better for him.”


“Isabella was very sweet with my two cats I adopted from a shelter (can be very idiosyncratic) . She met each one at their level of social need. During my absence my robolitter was not behaving, however, Isabella insured the litter box remained fresh for my cats so I didn't find any surprises upon my return! I will definitely book her services again!”


“Suzanne was a great communicator and reliable! I appreciated the pictures and videos and most importantly felt that my animals were being well taken care of! Would use again!”
