Merrell was wonderful with all of my crazy changes. She is super sweet and genuinely cares for your pets. She did exactly what we asked and provided us with adorable photos. We will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.

Justine checked in on my two cats again and did a fantastic job. One even had an accident in front of the litter box and she cleaned it up with no problems. She follows all directions and has a great attention to detail. She also makes sure to play with them everytime! Justine is great!

Wow!!! I really think she did a great job. We have a super shy cat and she tried very hard to interact with him. I would book her again. She is very kind good with animals and communicated great.

another successful vacation with meghan watching our pets. we were gone for 2 weeks, and she sent us regular updates, checked on our house during freezing temperatures, and played with and took good care of our kitties. she was able to check on them daily, even during the holidays. we would definitely recommend meghan for your petsitting needs.

As usual, Jessica was awesome taking care of my 3 chihuahuas. I like using Jessica not only because she does a great job of taking care of Pablo, Izzy, and Mooch, but also the continuity and familiarity the dogs have when she comes over. She always communicates with me with pictures and texts. One of my older dogs needs several medications and she is always accurate when giving Pablo his medications. Thanks, Jessica for taking such good care of my babies! Stefny Craft

Hadley is the best cat sitter! She is always good natured, sends helpful reports, and sends adorable photos.I was pleased this time because I had forgotten to book a sitter, and it happened to be Memorial Day weekend — and Hadley was willing to look after Kit Cat at the last minute! Hadley gets my highest recommendation.

Heather has been a blessing from above. We have been fortunate to have the same pet sitter for our Penny for years but excitingly she left to further her college degree up North. Picking a new sitter to take care of your family member and be in your home personal areas can be hard. Heather is at most an uplifting character and has the best personality, our Penny loved and warmed up to her instantly during their meet and greet. Heather sent detailed updates with pictures, she was extremely prompt on all four of the drop-ins daily, and took Penny on extra nice walks in our neighbor when the weather was nice for the day to get her outside more for some more vitamin D and exercise. We have stray neighborhood cats on our front porch that I have fed for the last six years while here and she even took it upon herself to feed them while we were away, She clearly loves all animals with all of her heart. We truly appreciate her and we already have our next out of town week booked for May and hope she is available. Thank you again for everything. Caroline, Robert & Penny

Superb! I was stressed out about leaving my cat alone when i had an expected trip. Sydney is a great communicator that alleviated all the stress i had away, and took great care of my cat with updates pictures daily. I could tell my cat liked her. Would totally book again when i need someone to look after my cat.

Caroline has been great with our puppy! We have used her regularly the past couple of weeks on days my husband and I both work. She has been reliable and consistent, sends us photos and takes time to engage in playtime. She responds quickly to our messages and has been flexible with bookings. We would definitely recommend her!

This was our first time with Hadley for my cat Mavu. I was apprehensive as Mavu needed eye drops and she had not let anyone administer those other than me. But Hadley was patient and determined to help Mavu with those drops while I was away for family emergency. Hadley has been gentle, persistent and very loving with Mavu. She got the drops in Mavu lovingly and is now Mavu’s best friend, Mavu keeps waiting for her visits and misses her after she leaves. Hadley is ethical , trustworthy and reliable. We got blessed to have found her and highly recommend her to any pet parent who loves their pet and wants gentle care for their pets. Madhuri

Sydney was so great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat for an extended period of time, and Sydney always sent photos with each visit and let us know how our cat was doing. Sydney was also super flexible with us too. If we ever needed a cat sitter again, I would want to book Sydney again!

Brynlee did a great job! Our dog can be very shy and worried of new people, but he seemed comfortable with her from their first visit and quickly warmed up at each additional. She was punctual and spent the proper time with him each day, and sent pictures of our pup, which I love! She was even able to add an extra session day, due to my travel plans changing unexpectedly. I would definitely feel comfortable to book Brynlee again for drop-in visits!
