“Samantha was amazing with my cat! I had an emergency because there was a fire alarm in my building and I panicked about my cat’s safety. I called Samantha and she immediately replied and stopped by to check in on my kitty after the regular daily visit. She made sure that he was ok and told me that the alarm was in the building next to mine. I was so relieved and so thankful to her for going the extra mile in this situation!!! She even offered to bring my cat to her place if necessary, which I really appreciated.”
“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away! She is such a kind and calming presence, which I know put my cat at ease without me there. Updates were frequent and very detailed, giving me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend booking with Maria and I for sure will be again!”
“It is so reassuring leaving my cat with Aimee to sit!! She is very caring and I know he is in excellent hands. Thanks for everything, Aimee!!”
“Monica is an outstanding cat sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for my senior cats, ensuring they're not only well-fed but have clean drinking water in their fountain. One of my cats craves physical attention, and Monica took the time to hold and carry her, making her so happy she purred! She also made sure to find my shy cat, which really put me at ease. Monica sends detailed updates with amazing photos at each visit, giving me priceless peace of mind. Her dedication, care, and love for my girls are truly exceptional. I highly recommend Monica!”
“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!”
“Shannon did a great job of taking care of our puppy! This was our first time leaving him, and Shannon was very communicative throughout the visit to put our mind at ease.”
“We reached out to Tara again for a last minute drop in as we were at all day events this whole weekend. Tara was very flexible in checking in on our little guy we totally recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”
“I cannot stress how much Jocelyn literally takes the weight off my shoulders. I could not ask for a better person to check on my kitties while I am out of town. A certified life saver.”
“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.”
“Dominique helped me a lot by caring for my dog while I was away. He was punctual and always provided updates. Will definitely be my go to dog sitter!”
“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 :)”
