“Sam was amazing in caring for our two skittish kitties while we were away. She is extremely friendly and communicative and was very gentle with their skittishness which we appreciated! We look forward to booking her again in the near future! Simply put, if you can’t care for your animals yourself, she is the next best thing!”
“Monica has been a really great sitter for my two cats on several occasions now, and I trust her completely. It’s obvious she loves cats, but she’s also really responsible, takes initiative if something needs to be done, and provides really nice pictures and detailed updates. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend her, and I will definitely continue to trust her with my babies.”
“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”
“Maria was great. It was her first time with our two cats. They warmed up to her quickly, which is saying a lot! Her report cards were clear and complete and all went well!”
“I’ve had Tara drop in on our little ham for a few times already. I can always count on her to make sure pixel gets taken care of. Thank you for being flexible!”
“Erin did an awesome job with our cat Mipha! She communicated clearly with me and provided great updates and photos. Mipha was very happy when we got back and we look forward to working with Erin again in the future.”
“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”
“Paul took great care of our two cats while we were away. He asked good questions, made sure he knew everything he needed to, was very courteous, and made sure we got regular updates. We felt completely at ease and confident that our cats were well taken care of. I would recommend Paul to any potential clients.”
“Simone did a great job with my dog Lily and my two kittens!! She took lots of photos and videos, my pets looked very happy! She also had some great notes and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for care!”

“Ana did a great job taking care of our kitties. She made sure they were healthy and safe and well-fed. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She went the extra mile and took in my mail and watered my plants too! I'll definitely book Ana in the future.”
“Felt like both our cat and house were in good hands. Got lots of pictures and updates and our kitty looked happy and comfortable. Wouldn’t hesitate to have Keira cat sit again!”
“Skyler has been an absolute blessing to our family! Not only does she take great care of our pup, but she also aids us in his training while we are away. She is very knowledgeable about animals, and she has a huge heart. She has also been very patient as our dog is just a few months old! She keeps us in the loop too :)”
