“Margaret, thanks so much for taking care of my cat. Margaret is very nice and professional. Her drop-in visit notes made me feel that my cat was well and healthy, comforting my heart. I will definitely book her visits for cat sitting again!”


2. Catherine M.

“Cat was fantastic! She was so good with my cats and it was a huge weight off my shoulders getting her dozen of pics everyday from her visit with them. My cats, while happy to see me home, will definitely be missing her daily visits. Highly recommend, will be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Kara went above and beyond to take care of our cat Mango, she even made sure to have a meet up before starting with the visits. I like how attentive she was, she sent tons of pictures and a very detailed summary of the visits, we’ll definitely contact Kara as our cat sitter again in the future! She’s great and I fully recommend her to anyone.”

15. Abigail K.

“Abigail was great! She was very receptive and followed all of my instructions to a T! The only thing is that she didn't send any notes or updates on how my dog was doing. She was always on time and sent me the walk data and pictures, but didn't send much information beyond that unless I asked for it. She was great with responding quickly though and always answered any questions I had! I would definitely trust her to watch my dog again!”


16. Chay H.

17. Matthew G.

“Matthew did an amazing job checking in on our dog, Wrigley! He was attentive, reliable, and made sure Wrigley got plenty of playtime and attention. It’s clear he truly cares about animals, and we felt completely at ease knowing Wrigley was in such good hands. Matthew is very trustworthy, and we would absolutely ask him to help again in the future. Highly recommend!”


18. Erin & Anthony C.
“Erin has always been great with Lilly (dog) and Toby (cat). She always takes Lilly for walks when she stays with her and she has a yard for her and her dogs to run around and play. She would take care of Toby whether it was to have him over or to check in on him occasionally at my place. Her husband is great at making sure they are taken care of as well.”


19. Katie W.

“Katie visits my dog daily while I’m at work to let her out and visit with her. She is reliable, trustworthy, and my dog seems to love her! She takes the time to take the cutest pictures and write a note about their time together which I so appreciate. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


20. Cara S.

“Cara is a huge animal lover! I have seen Cara interact with all types of dogs, and every single dog immediately comes up to her and loves on her! Cara grew up with special needs dogs, including a deaf Dalmatian and has fostered many dogs over the years ranging from 8-week old puppies to senior dogs. Cara has the ability to give medications and care for special needs for any dog. Of course, her favorite activity with dogs is to play with them! She will take pups to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood, and play with them indoors. I have 100% confidence in Cara's ability to care for the most treasured member of your family! Your pup will be will taken care of and entertained while you are gone!”
