“Katherine came back for some more drop in visits and she’s seriously the best :) she gives me tons of details on the visit and the cutest pics of my girl!!!”


“Kathryn is a very reliable person, she toke care of my kittens extremely well, cleaning, brushing and feeding them properly and with extreme punctuality as committed. I would look for her next time for sure.”


“Toni was fantastic! She knew exactly how to approach our sassy senior ladies. She’s obviously a cat person. They took to her so well! They are not cuddly to strangers and by the end of the week, she was getting “hugs” and they were enjoying chin scratches. They are normally less than interested in playing and she had them engaged with the laser light. Toni was great with keeping us updated with thorough report cards and lots of pictures. She is also very good at communicating. We couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to using her again!”


“Matt was great, he stayed in constant contact and sent pictures of every visit while he was watching our dog Rocco. He even brought in packages and cleaned up after Rocco.”



“Melissa was super flexible and accommodating! She took such great care of my puppy & put my mind at ease by providing me updates during the check-in! She always had her own backup supplies just in case!”


“Laura was great with our two cats and anxious dog! She very kindly came for a visit ahead of time to meet our pets and familiarize herself with their care needs. We will definitely reach out to Laura again for pet sitting 👍🏽”


“Shayna has probably been one of the best sitters I’ve ever had period. Extremely attentive to my pup and cat and always so detailed with her visits. My cat was even eating my new plant and she hid it from him to make sure it wasn’t destroyed by the time I can back 😂. Have nothing but trust every time she watches the animals.”


“Lynn was so wonderful with my puppy. She would come over and play with her and take her out for longer than what was required. She really goes above and beyond and treats your dog like her own.”


“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”


“Taylor took excellent care of our kitties. One of our cats is diabetic and requires twice daily insulin plus some additional medications. She was reliable and reached out whenever she had a question. Their litter boxes were spotless and everything was in order when we arrived home. I can't recommend her enough.”


“Keira was wonderful, Bela was very comfortable with her at the initial meeting. We were very comfortable leaving our cat in Keira’s care. Keira kept us informed on how he was doing, with pictures of each visit. I highly recommend Keira & will definitely request her to care for Bela again!”

rachel has been so patient and accommodating with our very nervous dog and sporadic bookings. we highly recommend her!

This is our second time having Keira care for our cat Bela and we are just as happy if not happier this time (if that's possible)! She is very thorough, caring, clean, friendly and really takes her time playing with our very energetic big fellow! We are very happy with Keira, and highly recommend her, we will definitely request her again! Bela misses her already!

Taylor took excellent care of our kitties. One of our cats is diabetic and requires twice daily insulin plus some additional medications. She was reliable and reached out whenever she had a question. Their litter boxes were spotless and everything was in order when we arrived home. I can't recommend her enough.

Gionna is absolutely fantastic! My rescue cat, who rarely comes out for anyone except me, followed Gionna around the house while she visited. I have to believe that means she’s a wonderful person!

As usual 100 % satisfied , my cats love Colleen and they are always in good hands with her. Thanks and definitely I’ll keep booking with her.

Maani was fantastic! I have a super loving, separation anxiety filled Pittie and from our first meet and greet with Maani I knew they would hit it off perfectly! She was prompt, communicated well and stayed for as long as she could each visit… she even took him for a walk that evening. I am so thankful to Maani for taking such great care of my babies!

I have been looking for more pet-sitters for my friendly cat, Jim Catsby. I highly recommend Emily G! She is reliable, punctual, and conscientious. She communicates clearly and in a timely manner. She has been flexible and understanding when I needed to rearrange scheduling. I was gone 17 hours yesterday. Emily came for 2 drop-in visits. When I came home, Jim was happy and content, not frantic. Grateful for her good care— brushing him and keeping him company. It gave me peace of mind to know that Emily is an experienced expert, working in the pet care field. I look forward to using her services in the future.

Sajida was WONDERFUL!! She is super friendly and really takes the time to get to know your pet and all the nuances that each of our furry friends have. I received great updates and lots of pictures. My Sasha was in extremely good hands. I definitely recommend Sajida if you need a pet sitter. A+++

Mark was reliable and communicated daily. He took great care of three cats seven days in a row! We were thrilled with his attention to our cats. He sent pictures daily.

Julia did a great job with my dog. She checked In multiple times a day and really went the extra mile to make sure my dog was taken care of (including giving him his daily medicine). Will definitely keep her in mind for future checkins!

Melissa is kind and patient! I have two very different dogs and she is wonderful with both- thank you Melissa!
