1. Daria R.

“Daria was incredible and took very good care of my cat while I was out of the country! She sent detailed messages with photos and videos, went above and beyond by troubleshooting his automatic litter box and water fountain, and really bonded with him. She's a true cat lover and professional and I highly recommend her. Thank you Daria!”


2. Ashley T.

“Ashley did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She provided lots of updates and clearly took time to give him lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend her!”




3. Luisa C.

“Luisa did a wonderful job watching our cat. She was so responsive and went above and beyond when we had an issue with our key to the apartment. She even came for a brief visit before watching our cat the first time to discuss feeding routines, etc. It is wonderful knowing our cat is in such good hands when we are away 😻”


4. Elizabeth H.

“Elizabeth was fantastic. Excellent communication and sent plenty of photos to show how cats were doing. My cats are super shy of strangers, but she was able to coax them out and give them some pampering. I would book her again for sure. Happy to give her our highest recommendation. Laura R”


5. Kaya Elisabeth J.

“We've had Kaya pet sit twice now and she was tremendously helpful! Out two cats and dog enjoyed her visits over the past week. She provided meds and frequent updates to assure us they were behaving. Highly recommend her to others!”


6. Juliet L.

“Julie Landeros is conscientious young woman. Julie was raised with pets in the household and did her fair share of dog walking, dog baths and nurturing of the family pet. Julie has been raising her own dog whom she adopted when he was just weeks old. She sees this pet (Romeo) as a family member and never neglects his need for food, water, walks and play. She would make an excellent dog sitter as she has had 20 plus years around pets and knows the expectations involved in caring for animals.”


7. Santhie J.

“Santhie took excellent care of our dogs while we were away for the day, communicated when needed, and sent pictures to show the dogs were being taken care of.”


8. Elizabeth L.
“Elizabeth is wonderful when it comes to caring for our furry friends. She has been incredibly caring and attentive when she has watched my dog for me. She loves dogs, so she enjoys spending quality time with them in her care. She gives them the attention they need and is a great communicator. I would highly recommend her!”


9. Michael P.

“Michael is an awesome sitter! He is kind, communicative, responsible, prompt, and dependable. He took great care of our pups and based on the pictures we could tell they were so excited when he arrived. We definitely will be rebooking with him soon!”




10. Victoria R.

“Victoria was a wonderful caretaker for our dog. We received great photos and updates while we were away. We will definitely have Victoria take care of Annie again.”


11. William A.


“Came home to happy kitties over the holidays! Will was timely, polite, and sent fun pictures. Our cats are pretty straight forward except for litter box habits (don’t ask) and he managed them great. Thanks Will!”


12. Karin L.

“Thank you, Karin! I appreciated the prompt and clear communication, timely visits, and following all instructions. You helped me relax more while away from my little furry companion. 10/10”


13. Jesica A.

“Jesica took great care of our quirky elderly dog (who is slightly blind and walks slowly). Jesica is caring, reliable and thoughtful and had an intuitive sense of what was needed. Our dog took easily to Jesica (no small feat). She was even willing to deal with rush-hour traffic to get to our house. I look forward to booking Jesica again for pet care.”


14. Grayson B.

“So grateful to Grayson! 100% reliable and responsible and flexible to last-minute emergency changes.”

16. Michelle R.

“Michelle was amazing! Just simply amazing. Super reliable, great communication, asked all the right questions upon first initial booking. Super understanding and respectful of my separation anxiety away and did a great job of easing those anxieties. 11/10 would book again / recommend.”


17. Tara C.
“Tara was super responsive and helpful throughout our communications. She was right on time and did a great job with our two pups. I’m looking forward to booking her again next time.”


18. Henry J.

“I literally can't say enough good things about Henry's pet sitting. He gives detailed updates about my cats' moods and health, spends time socializing with them, and sends so many cute pictures of them after every visit. My cats aren't always the most social and can be slow to trust new people, but he's taken the time to get to know them and their personalities and it shows with how much more comfortable they are with him now!”


19. Andrew H.
“Andrew is one of the best and most thoughtful caretakers I know. He has taken care of Bonnie, our very protective, 85lb hound dog on numerous occasions and his attention to detail and good vibes meant that she was always happy, healthy and in a great mood when we came back from a trip.”


20. Juliana A.

“Juliana is great! Very communicative before and during the visits. She arrives on time and takes good care of our cat. I will definitely book her again!”
