1. Natalie O.

“Natalie took excellent care of Taco and played his little ears off! She took lots of pictures and videos so I knew that he had a great time. I will definitely be calling Natalie again. 😀”


2. Payton B.

“Left my very big, very shy cat alone for the first time, and was a little anxious about finding someone to check on him. Payton was the perfect person for the job! She sent regular updates, and even sent photos of the cat under the bed! I highly recommend you hire Payton to watch your furry friend - you and your pets will be glad you did!”


3. Leah E.

“Leah is so kind and understanding. From the first time meeting her, she made us feel comfortable and confident in her helping with our two very large and sometimes chaotic dogs. She listened to our concerns, their quirks, and all the information we threw at her. Finding her has been a huge relief knowing we have her to help us out when needed. She is the best!”


4. Kelcya "Kacey" & Elizabeth B.


“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”


5. Jenna P.

“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”


6. Samantha M.

“Samantha was fantastic! My cat seemed to really enjoy hanging with her and she was very responsive and a great photographer too. I would definitely recommend her!”


7. Emma H.
“To Whom It May Concern, I highly recommend Emma H. as a trusted and compassionate pet caregiver. She has cared for my three dogs on multiple occasions, both for short weekends and longer vacations, and every time I’ve returned to happy, well-cared-for pets. Emma goes above and beyond by not only ensuring their basic needs are met, but also taking time to play with them, walk them, and keep me updated with daily photos. Her attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and dependable communication make her an outstanding choice for anyone looking for safe, loving care and excellent service. She’s truly a wonderful human being.”


8. Erin H.


“I was so nervous to fly across the world and leave my 2 cats in the care of a stranger for the first time, but I'm so glad I found Erin! She was so great with all the updates, pictures, was at my house every day at nearly the same time, my normally nervous girls opened right up to her, and I was at ease from the get go. Next time I'm out of town I'll be sure to book with Erin!”


9. Jazmine T.
“Jasmine would make an awesome pet caregiver. She currently has 3 cats. One was a stray that used to come around their house all the time. She felt bad and adopted him. And he is sooo lucky to now be in such a loving home. She has cat feeders and cameras to keep an eye on their cats when she is not home which is not often because she wants to make sure she is always there for them. She talks with them so lovingly as if they were her children (as loving pet parents should). Any cat would be so lucky to have Jazmine as their cat sitter. 😊”


10. Whitney W.

“Whitney is fantastic. She treated my cats so well. One is very social and the other is quite scared and she met both of their needs very well. Whitney is quick to reply, very punctual. Also sent beautiful pictures of them! I would love for her to check in on them again.”


11. Davis P.

“Davis was super attentive to my cat, Muc! I received daily reports and photos of how Muc was doing. Davis treated Muc like his own. I really appreciated the attention to detail. Davis is definitely my go-to.”


12. Monica G.

“10/10 will request again. We booked Monica rather last minute to check on our baby boy while out of town since he had hyperthyroidism and wanted to make sure he'd be taken care of especially since his treatment was the day after we'd be back in town. Monica delivered! She was timely, flexible, and sent the best pictures. It was cool to see in the pics how Moody warmed up and eventually got pets from her. Loved that she was so chill about it, and was great at communicating throughout the booking and during the check-ins. Seriously though, we're going to book her again if she's available in a couple months.”


13. Athena Mae J.
“I highly recommend Athena as a pet sitter. She is exceptionally responsible, consistently demonstrating a deep commitment to the well-being of the animals in her care. Athena is not only attentive to each pet’s unique needs, but she’s also a strong advocate for their health and happiness—whether that means sticking to a routine, administering care, or simply providing comfort and companionship. Her reliability and genuine compassion make her someone I trust wholeheartedly with the responsibility of caring for beloved pets. Anyone who chooses Athena as their pet sitter can rest assured their animals are in capable, caring hands. Respectfully, Pat P.”


14. Leah A.

“Leah did an amazing job checking on my cat and followed all instructions very well. She took great photos and spent time allowing my very nervous cat to warm up to her. She put in extra effort to make sure my home was clean and my cat was healthy!”


15. Shaina M.

“I absolutely love and trust Sahina's pet sitting. I have been very impressed with her. I was really scared to leave my pet for the first time while I'm on vacation, but her daily care, love and everyday updated on my pet made my vacation possible and relaxing. My pup absolutely loved Shaina! Shina's competence, caring and reliability has more than met my expectations.”


16. Lexxie H.


“Lexxie watched our kitty for 14 days during our trip to Spain. She was professional, attentive, and took care of Sally as if it was her own pet. Sally can be an high maintenance floof, but Lexxie handled her with ease. She was respectful to us, our house, and of course "Queen" Sally. Thank you so much for everything. We hope to have you again on our next trip!”




17. Kayla H.

“Kayla was very kind to my senior dog. She was excellent in her communication and professionalism. She was very open and understanding to our needs.”


18. Debra H.

“Debra was on time and provided me with updates/photos on both of her visits. Milo was well taken care of! I will definitely be using Debra again in the future.”




19. Beatrice B.


“Really appreciate Beatrice's help!! She's fantastic and very reliable”


20. Cindy Z.
“Cindy watched our three cats for us earlier this summer for 10 days. She was incredibly communicative and our Cats loved her! Even our normally shy and skittish former stray adored her, letting Cindy hold her in a matter of days. She was always sending pictures and updates throughout my trip and kept the litter boxes tidy. I plan on using her services again and again in the future and highly reccomend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter!”
