“Camila was a wonderful, kind and a true animal lover person. She knew how to handle my elderly cat, she was gentle, patience and very responsible to her.

A 100% recommended and will book her again for next time. I picked the best sitter in town !”

“Jennifer is wonderful! Parker, one of my dogs, is on a strict feeding schedule and requires insulin injections. He can also be fear reactive.

I really appreciate the level of care and consideration she shows!”

13. Kevin D.
“Kevin has been helping me with my dog and cats for years now. He's the best and truly cares for my pets! They typically don't like a lot of people, which makes it hard to find a sitter/walker, but they love him! I think they can sense his good energy. He's been available to help me last minute which has been a huge relief of stress. He sends me cute pictures of them which is comforting while I'm away. I highly recommend Kevin, your pets will love him-- and he'll love them back like they were part of his own family!”
14. Yashelle I.
“Yashelle was wonderful, reliable, and responsive. We felt so much better knowing our cat was in caring hands while we were out of town, and appreciated the daily check-ins with photos and notes about his behavior. She will be our first call next time we need a sitter, and she should be your next call too!”
15. Emily A.
“Emily was great with my kitty Meera. I had just recently adopted her so she's still very shy around strangers and uncertain in her new environment, but Emily did a wonderful job of coaxing her out and making sure she ate and was well cared for. She also promptly answered all of my neurotic questions and was very patient with me!-- was very grateful to have her support and will definitely look for her assistance again!”
16. Nicole A.
“Fantastic again! Nicole always takes great care of our cat, Ollie! Great communication with pictures, videos and detailed summaries! Thank you, Nicole!”
17. Brittany P.
“Brittany is trusting and a phenomenal and extremely loving pet owner and pet caregiver. She always goes out of her way to make sure pets are safe and have everything they need. Brittany's caring personality is extremely helpful for those pets who may need some extra attention as she rescued her dog and knows the trauma that pets may face.”
18. Carolina M.
“Excellent experience with Carolina. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. My cat was very comfortable with her and I will be booking with her again.”
