“Amazing job taking care of my cat Mary! Did a great job feeding, cleaning her box, and spending time with her so she did not get lonely! Awesome communication and experience, thank you Anne!”
“Rachelle is amazing and my older pit mix adores her! Rachelle is quick to respond and has been flexible with me when I needed a change of time in short notice. I can tell she enjoys visits with my pup and that goes a long way for us! She leaves great feedback on how the visit went, sends me pics, and has no problem with my very strong pit on a gentle leader. I also trust her that she knows my dog is not good with other animals. She’s just wonderful!”
“So happy and relieved to have been able to have Riva drop in on my two kitties this past weekend! Was nervous and anxious about being away from my young boy for the first time since his adoption, but Riva quickly put all my anxieties at ease with her great care for my cats. Riva was amazing with her check ins, providing photos and videos. Got back to two very happy cats, so mama is very thankful! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“I highly recommend Madeleine! I was so happy to see that my most shy cat came out to socialize with her! She took great care of my crew, and I will definitely book her again!”
“My 75 staffy Brooks loved Kerry from the minute he met her. She kept me updated on how he was doing while I was away. She let know if he ate all his food and if he wasn’t feeling well. It was a last minute booking for 2 visits Friday, 2 visits Saturday and one visit Sunday AM. Kerry was able to help me out which I appreciated after a family member had canceled on me. I recommend!”
“Anne has been so great! Today has been my 3rd booking with her. Prior to her care visit with my Jersey Girl, Anne took the time and walked me through everything! She made me feel completely at ease!! I highly recommend Anne!”
“I can’t thank Heather enough for stepping in last minute to care for my cats. They were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah sent thorough, thoughtful, and funny notes. Our fur babies were treated with lots of love and kindness. We will definitely reach out to Sarah again!”
“Samantha was great. She did not have the codes to get in when she arrived and I was unreachable. She got a hold of the codes and came back later that day to check on Harper. She is sweet and you can tell she is really good with animals”
“Alondra was amazing! She was very prompt with communication and attentive to Benny. I would highly recommend Alondra to anyone with a senior cat and will definitely be reaching out again.”
“Alyssa was a professional, attentive sitter for our spoiled boy cat while we were away on vacation. We appreciated the timely check-ins, thorough notes, and multiple photos provided for each visit. The house and litter box were clean when we returned, and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to sit for us again.”
“Covered us last minute on a holiday weekend!! Thank you!”
“Bonnie was such a thoughtful and excellent caretaker for Phylo. Very calming and has a lot of attention to detail. I’m so happy she was able to care for my pet while I was out of town.”
“Anna - Marika stayed with Odin dropped in over the November Thanksgiving break. She was prompt was able to follow instruction per Odin's care instructions. She is caring and sends pictures of the visit. Great job!”
“Luke was great about providing updates regarding my cat and wrangling him to give him meds twice a day (he can get pretty wiggly). Would recommend and have already booked again.”
“This is my second time having Destiny and Ethan watch my cats. There’s not anyone I trust more to watch the cats than them and the cats love them. Even my skittish shy kitty came out and spent time with them. I’m really appreciative of them taking care of my cats and it always bring me peace of mind.”
“Michelle was so diligent in caring for my cats. She followed every instruction; it was also a pleasure to meet her before we left for our trip. I hope she will be available for future trips we are taking this year!”
“Kari was amazing with our two pups! Our bigger dog is very hesitant around new people and Kari was very patient with him. She also came prepared with a slip lead which was useful when he was nervous about her doing his harness! Ultimately, he warmed up and both dogs showered her with kisses so I think it’s safe to say they loved her visits! We would absolutely request for Kari to watch the pups in the future.”
“Thank you so much for the Christmas visit! They enjoy the company!”
“Did a great job with daily updates and caring for my cat! My cat can be a bit moody when I’m gone but she tried to get her out of her shell and I appreciated it :)”
