Top rated Ellwanger-Barry pet sitters
“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.”
“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.”
“Top notch, triple A, 5 star, academy award winning...okay not that last one. Becca is the absolute best. Highest marks for care, reliability, photos and narratives. Could not recommend more highly for housesitting, walking or check ins.”
“Lavinia was conscientious and thorough. My cat, who's shy around strangers, warmed up to her quickly and got plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime while I was gone. Really appreciate the work she put in!”
“Gabriella is the best!! She took amazing care of my two cats when I was stuck out of town for a medical emergency. She took extra time for snuggles with them knowing that I’d been out of town for awhile and was great about cleaning and letting me know if there were any issues. I’ll definitely use her the next time I head out of town!”
“Rachel was so amazing and made sure I felt comfortable. She made contact and sent pics. It was a huge relief knowing someone like Rachel was taking care of my fur baby.”
“Priya was fantastic with our pup—very conscientious of his needs, and willing to go above & beyond to make sure he, our home & our yard were well taken care of while we were gone. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Alyssa was great! She was really quick to respond and did a great job with our cats. She did everything I asked her to and even got our scared cats to come out and see her for a bit! She’s super nice! I will definitely use her again and definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“This was our 4th booking with Ronnie. He does a great job taking care of our fur baby. She's a shy girl, but she has really warmed up to Ronnie. It's great to have peace of mind when we're away. Thank you, Ronnie!”
“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 😊”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so grateful to have found Morgan! She took care of our whole kitty crew with incredible attentiveness, warmth, and good humor. From the moment we connected, she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with — even asking thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure they had all the details right. Throughout the week, we received daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little stories about our cats’ personalities (even shy Chanchita came out of her shell!). She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly, including medication, litter box care, and keeping an eye out for mischievous Mr. Bingley’s adventures. When we accidentally left out a knife and panicked, they calmly reassured us it was already handled. She even took care of little extras like bringing in a Chewy delivery and making sure the finicky keypad didn’t slow them down. We came home to happy, well-fed, calm cats — who honestly seemed a little bummed their new best friends weren’t still around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to care for your furry family!”
“Tina took great care of our dog during two drop-in visits. She was prompt, provided thorough feed-back about her visits, and even spent time brushing our dog on each visit. I would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Ona did a great job! She easily followed my complicated instructions ;) She sent an informative update and cute pics from each visit. My kitty loved her. Would definitely hire her again, except I'm moving out of state.”
“Caroline was great with my two cats, one of which required medicine 2x daily. I appreciated her drop in visits and detailed updates to make sure all was well.”
“I am so grateful that we found Daniel to take care of our chickens when we were gone for 10 days on vacation! He was excellent at being in touch, communicating about various things, and paying attention to details when taking care of our pets. We needed to make a few last-minute changes to our schedule and Daniel quickly redid the booking for us multiple times. It was a pleasure working with him and we will definitely be thinking of him for our next vacation!”
“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 :)”
“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”
“Carla was great! Always on time and was great or our kitties :) Would rebook in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
