“Samantha was great! She came over to meet the cats and was flexible with timing since this was last minute. One of my cats is not great with new people but flopped over on her side for Samantha. It made me feel comfortable and I will be using her again!”
“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.”
“We always trust Riley to take great care of our rabbit! She leaves thorough reviews and he is always very happy and content when we get home.”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Aimee was fantastic! She sent lots of pics and detailed notes from her drop-ins with our cat Finn. He really loved her. It's was comforting to know our pet was in such good hands while we were away and made it easy to enjoy the trip! Aimee went above and beyond, alerting us to a water leak in the bathroom. We were able to contact the building management to take care of the leak before it caused too much damage. I am grateful to her for being so observant and conscientious! We would be thrilled to have her take care of Finn the next time we 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!”
“Jennifer took great care of our cat. She followed the instructions and gave us timely updates; she took her time and slowly built trust with our cat. We are glad that our cat was able to make a new friend! We would definitely use her again!”
“Shannon did an AMAZING job helping us when we needed a last minute drop in visit. She took such good care of our pup, providing lots of play, cuddles, and not giving up when our front door was a pain to unlock and I was being terrible about checking my phone. Couldn't reccomend more!”
“Tara is a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of my two cats while I was gone for 6 days. She has a warm and friendly personality and is so conscientious. She did lots of extras and made sure the cats were well taking care of. She was comfortable administering medication to one of my cats, which was a great relief for me. I highly recommend Tara.”
“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!”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
“Keira was communicative, helpful, and friendly. She did all necessary cat care, cleaned up unexpected messes, and sent pictures with our cat after every visit. Would recommend and would book again.”

“Sophia was great! She watched over my cat for a week and made sure he had everything he needed and gave plenty of attention. Always timely and reached out if she had any questions.”
“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were out of the country!! Our dog is currently in training so we have some restrictions that he is under and she did a great job following those and making sure he stayed on track. She also kept us updated and sent us pictures!”
“Amie dropped in to play with our two golden retrievers (one puppy and one 4-year old). I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pups!”
“As someone who also sits for others, Mallory is a breath of fresh air. I personally treat everyone’s pet as my own and Mallory without a doubt did that and more. I never doubted for a second that my big floof was being taken care of and being spoiled. She even brought him a new toy. Mallory has officially exceeded my expectations and raised the bar. Without a doubt, I’ll be using Mallory again. So lucky to have found her.”
“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 :)”
