1. Christine H.

“Christine was great -- so thoughtful and thorough. I completely trust her to take care of my cats. AND she takes lots of great photographs.”


2. Rachel M.

“Rachel was very communicative, thorough, and truly cared about our dogs! She took lots of photos and provided updates well. Would recommend her highly”


3. Katrina A.
“Katrina helped me care for my beloved cats when I went away for a work trip for several days. She was caring, attentive, and responsive. She asked thoughtful questions that helped her determine the health and wellness of my cat and made me feel reassured that my cat sitter knew how to handle cats (and animals in general). Katrina played with the cats, fed them, and took care of litter and general cleaning of their things. She is one of the few people my cat is comfortable around! She is great to work with and I will definitely ask her to help me in the future.”


4. Winnie K.
“Winnie has watched over Teemo (our Pembroke Corgi) on a number of occasions over the years, with a number of them being long term stays that consisted of 3 or more nights. An experienced dog owner, she's done a great job making sure Teemo's physical and emotional needs are met, adhering to his daily routine, feeding and training guidelines while also keeping us updated on how he's doing. Teemo's return to us has always been bittersweet for our doggo as he's always a little sad to leave her care. While Teemo loves Winnie, it's also worth mentioning that a large portion of Teemo's attachment to her "pack" is his affinity towards her personal dog, Boba. He perhaps deserves a review in his own light, but in short, Boba is a ball of joyous energy that seems to be very intuitive when it comes to interacting with other dogs, even some of the more socially awkward ones like Teemo can sometimes be. He reminds me of Top Gun's Goose, "everybody likes him." Suffice to say, I'd absolutely recommend Winnie (and Boba) as caretakers for your dogs.”
5. Lucy Z.

“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”


6. Zahudy F.

“Zahudy was great. She was very attentive our dog, Oliver, and communicated in detail with us every step of the way. Oliver behaved as if we never left home and I think Zahudy played a major role in him doing so well.”


7. Denise C.

“Denise is fantastic! We have relied on Denise many times now and she consistently does a great job. She’s smart, great with and knowledgeable about pets, thinks outside the box, and reliable because of those reasons and more. I recently took a trip where I had little to no phone coverage, and I knew I could count on her to take care of any issues that arose if she was not able to reach me. I look forward to relying on Denise again.”


8. Andrea Y.

“My two cats had a wonderful time with Andrea! This is the second time we've had Andrea watch our cats, and we would gladly rebook her again. Andrea is communicative, responsible, and clearly really cares about cats. Her daily updates were thorough and included lots of fun photos and videos. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”


9. Richard U.
“I've known Richard for many years, and one thing that's always stood out is his love for animals. He has long-time experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. For over a decade, he raised a dog and a cat together in the same household—no small feat!—and also lovingly cared for two guinea pigs during that time. Currently, he shares his home with two adorable cats. Richard is incredibly patient and observant. He has a soft heart and a natural ability to connect with animals, always taking the time to understand their personalities, needs, and moods. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship, Richard creates a safe and loving environment for pets. I trust him completely with my own pets, and I have no doubt that he’ll treat every dog or cat he cares for like family. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him!”


10. Danni Z.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Danni took such great care of my cat, Yuzu, while I was away. She is incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, making sure Yuzu had fresh food and water and plenty of playtime. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Yuzu was not only well taken care of but also getting the attention and affection she needed. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pet’s wellbeing, I highly recommend Danni!”


11. Zixin D.
“Zixin D. is truly wonderful. Every time my family travels, we trust her to take care of our dog, and she always goes above and beyond. She walks him several times a day, plays with him, and makes sure he's well-fed and happy. Our dog absolutely loves her! Zixin is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She even sends us daily photos and videos, and it's clear our dog feels right at home with her. We always have peace of mind knowing he's in such loving and capable hands.”


12. Brianna C.
“I would highly recommend Brianna's services to anyone and everyone looking for a trusting and kind individual to help serve your pets. She is very sensitive to their needs. A true animal lover. She does an excellent job.”


13. Madison A.

“Madison is a wonderful partner in taking care of your pets and home. She is very communicative, genuinely loves animals, and a joy to work with.”


14. Jamie B.

“Jamie is a great dog sitter 😊 we’re always Happy to have her as the sitter of our beloved dog. She managed really well the energy and personality of our dog, she followed instructions and kept our furry happy and healthy.”


15. Meghana N.
“I cannot recommend Meghana enough as a dog walker. Her reliability and thoughtfulness shine through in every interaction. She goes above and beyond to ensure my dog gets the care and attention they need. With Meghana, I have peace of mind knowing my pup is in excellent hands. She even brought her own water dispenser for my dog on a warm day!”


16. Travis D.

“Love Travis’ work with my energetic and affectionate puppy. Appreciate his reliability and patient listening to a nervous new puppy parent’s instructions and concerns.”


17. Samantha G.

“I have known Samantha, or Sammi, for about eleven years. I have watched her discover her gift of versatility through raising her childhood dog, Buster, to now raising her own cat, Rajah. I saw Buster spark Sammi's passion for animals at a young age. When she has a task, job, or even just a newly-found interest, Sammi is not only dedicated but extremely determined to perform as best as she possibly can; she is someone who will not rest until something is done the right way, as she sets very high standards for herself. Over the years, Sammi has taught herself an abundance of skills ranging from high-level dog training, to the art of dog grooming. I have a Staffordshire Terrier mix, Sadie, that I rescued some years back. She is a sweet girl, but she can be unpredictable in public as she tends to be reactive towards most dogs. Sadie is extremely strong; she is not an easy one to handle in public. There are very few people that I trust to be alone with/caring for Sadie if I am away; it is not worth it to me to risk the chance of something happening with her/to her. With that being said, Sammi is one of those few people. To be honest, she might be better at handling Sadie than me at times. She helped me train Sadie when I first adopted her and still continues to give me tips and tricks when I reach out for guidance. Sammi is the person who can be trusted to keep your pet(s) safe, happy, and entertained when you are gone, leaving you comfortable and stress-free. I personally understand how difficult and worrisome it can be to have another person care for your pets, but I can confidently say that Sammi is someone that you can trust to provide the best service and care for your pets; she will treat them as she would her own. I cannot recommend Sammi enough to be the person you rely on to provide any service for your pets; they will always be in the best hands.”


18. Maria B.

“Maria did drop in visits for my two cats Ash and Pepper while we were away. It is clear that she really loves animals and cares for them as her own. She was a great communicator with lots of pictures and updates and followed all instructions carefully. She also was super accommodating when I had a bunch of large packages get left at our door unexpectedly by taking them in and out of the way until our return. I would definitely hire Maria again to watch our cats anytime.”


19. Tiago R.
“Tiago has been taking care of my pets, Georgie 🐕🦺 and Mama 😻, for quite some time now. He is incredibly attentive, and my fur babies couldn't be happier with him around. I highly recommend Tiago to anyone who needs help with their pets.”


20. Mackenzie S.

“Mackenzie saved the day on a last minute booking! I could tell the dogs had lots of fun, and Mackenzie sent pictures along with updates on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Mackenzie! Very professional, responsive, and detail oriented.”
