Couldn’t have been better. Very attentive; played with them, gave them their desert-churro-sent multiple photos, indulged my cats’ foibles and mine. Kept me from worrying about them so I could enjoy a couple days out of town.

Yan did an amazing job as a pet sitter for my cat. She picked up the key prior, met my cat, and was a wonderful sitter - feeding him, playing with him, and cleaning his litter. The process was smooth & easy. I will definitely be using her again for my future pet sitting needs. Thank you!!!!

I was so nervous using River for the first time to watch our kitties as I’m a very nervous cat mom, Bethany came to meet me before our first visit and I knew her genuine sweetest was going to be a great fit. She showed up every day on time for our cats feedings and kept their water bowl and liter fresh. She sent so many pictures while we were away which I looked forward to every day on our trip. I felt at ease while we were away the entire time not once did I need to worry. If I could give Bethany 1000 stars I would, truly our cats are our babies and they were taken so good care of. Will definitely be using Bethany again when we’re away!

Ruth has been amazing the last two times she has taken care of my babies! Sends pictures and updates each time, makes sure they’re in a good spot before she leaves, and is very flexible and on time each visit.

DeDe did a great job. We have 5 cats, including kittens of varying ages, that had to be fed separately to keep the adults from gobbling up all the food. She sent us daily pictures showing everyone eating and playing. She handles it well and everyone was happy and fed when we got home. Best of all our house didn't smell like a litter box. She is a master scooper. We will definitely have DeDe come back and recommend her.

Thank you Jennifer for agreeing to take care of my cats on short notice. You were so kind to them and seemed to genuinely love them; even my two ferals and the cat who lives across the street who comes over for snacks. You truly love our furry babes.

About: Life-long animal lover and future vet, dedicated to providing expert care and comfort for your furry babies. This will also be my 3rd year taking veterinary classes! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time on my hands and I’d still be doing this when school starts back up. I have a fenced in backyard and I have 2 Yorkies that love meeting other dogs and cats. I have one cat that is also very friendly.

There are not enough stars for Amanda and her husband. They were an answer to a prayer. My Dad took.a fall and needed to be in rehab and there was no one to walk Chammy. I live in CT and just had to trust I could find someone to trust. They took such good care of him and even trained him out of bad habits...lol I kept them for the week when I arrived to Fla to get Dad out of rehab. I felt so supported knowing they were here to help. I would hire them in a heartbeat.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 15 and have experience with all different breeds! My first job was in a pet store, so I’m very familiar with caring for puppies and a large range of different pets! My pup has a chronic illness and requires medication daily, so I am experienced with administering medication as well. I am a stay at home fur mom and human mom and have open availability to check in on your pet(s). I can check in multiple times per day and can offer discounts for multiple days. Currently I am not offering services in my home for any pet. As our son gets older, we may decide to open up our home for puppy vacations
