1. Callie C.

“Callie was AWESOME!! What a treat to have someone spend so much time and care with my furry family member. It allowed me to not worry and know that Sam (and all of her needs) were being taken care of. Thank you, Callie! Really appreciate you!!”


2. Mya B.

3. Heather J.

“Heather has been wonderful to work with. She’s been prompt, careful and communicative with her visits with my pet. She’s been able to have a warm relationship with my pet despite my cat’s shyness. I absolutely plan on rebooking visits with Heather in the future.”


4. Randi K.

“Randi took such great care of Mojo, she did not fail to post photos at each visit and even gave attention to my dog. She provided helpful tips regarding mojos dietary needs which he needed. Randi is very trustworthy and I recommend!”


5. Maheen A.

“This was my first sit hiring Maheen, and as a pet sitter myself with a very shy cat, I have high standards of care. At the meet and greet I experienced a kind and knowledgeable cat caregiver, and after a week long sit of twice daily visits, my impression held very true. She is fantastic! Maheen was impeccable at detailed communication with me, extending grace and patience while caring for my very shy Felix to the exact considerations in my request. 10/10 recommend. Will happily hire her again.”


6. Ashton B.

“Ashton was amazing with my cat! I was a little nervous leaving, but she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She sent regular updates, and I could tell my cat was happy and well cared for. My cat is usually scared and shy with strangers but with Ashton, he was playful and looked very comfortable. It’s obvious Ashton genuinely loves animals and takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Ashton again next time I need a sitter”

11. Annika R.


“I recently hired Annika to take care of my cat for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! My cat liked her and formed a good connection. Annika’s calm and gentle approach immediately put my cat at ease, and they quickly bonded. Seeing my cat connect with her was reassuring, as his well-being is my top priority. Throughout the pet-sitting period, Annika provided exceptional care ensuring my cat's needs were met. Annika went the extra mile by engaging my cat in interactive play sessions and providing him with affection and companionship. I highly recommend Annika as a cat pet sitter. Her professionalism, genuine love for animals, and ability to form a great connection with my cat were outstanding. Thank you Annika!”


12. Sydney M.

“We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!”


13. Karen H.
“I have seen Karen taking in several pets over the years even with owning her own dog. She treats the animals as if they are people. Doesn't like leaving them alone too long if she runs errands. Always takes lots of walks, plenty of toys, and most of all snuggles. She is very trustworthy and I highly recommend her.”


14. Christine G.
“Christine G. is a dependable and loving caregiver for all furbabies. She will provide nurturing support according to the guidelines provided. When you can't be there for them, rest assured they will be in good hands.”

“Liz W. loves animals. She cared for our boxer for two weeks during the dog flu pandemic a year and a half ago when we were advised not to board him. We had the trip planned prior to our adoption of Chance. Liz to the rescue!! She took great care of our home and Chance. Occasionally she will call to say hi and Chance goes nuts when he hears her voice.”


17. Amy & James E.

“Amy and James have been so incredibly reliable and strong in communication it has helped me feel comfortable traveling after years of inconsistent quality in sitters. They are genuine cat lovers and I recommend them to any anxious cat parents! Thank you for all you do Amy and James 😊”

“Dana is the ultimate pet person - she cares for animals will all her heart. Dana has stayed over night with my two dogs on numerous occasions and provided them with loving care.
