“Kirsten was amazing! She took great care of my three cats while I was gone for 3.5 weeks. She made sure to send me photos and videos every day, and it was clear in those videos how much the cats adored her! I would absolutely re-hire her to take care of my cats in the future.”


“Rucha & Ethan did a wonderful job caring for my two needy cats over thanksgiving! I had a worry-free trip because they were so communicative, and my cats really loved them. I have one cat that gets very very stressed out when I’m away, and he showed zero signs of stress (diarrhea/ vomit/ hiding)! I am SO grateful ❤️and look forward to having them watch the kitties when I’m away again. Thank you!!”


“This was our second time with Erin as our two cats’ sitter, and she’s always been fantastic. We were very lucky to have her care for our boys while we were on vacation for almost two weeks.”



“Aleta was an incredibly thoughtful petsitter. She went above and beyond to make our skittish and shy kitten feel safe. We were nervous about leaving our kittens alone for the first time, but our anxieties quickly disappeared once we met Aleta and saw what wonderful care our animals were receiving. We will not hesitate to rebook Aleta the next time we go out of town!”


“Sarah was great. She visited my cat while I was out of town, took care of all of her needs and beyond, brushed her and even gave her some outside time. The many photos she took helped me feel like Faye was well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitting experience. Thank you, Sarah!”


“Kaylee is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of our two cats for 12 days while we were away, and we never had to worry about a thing. She keeps you updated and informed of everything going on with your pets, and cares for them like they were her own. You will love having her take care of your pets and your pets will love her too! Our shy cat, who is always under the bed whenever anyone comes over to our house, warmed up to Kaylee incredibly quickly. We will definitely book her again in the future,”


“Nicole was fantastic! Our two cats took to her right away, and we loved receiving her daily pictures and updates while we were out of town. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”

“Steven was awesome! He took great care of my two cats over the weekend, sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and was super easy to communicate with. Definitely would book again!”


“Caroline did a great job taking care of our pets and home for an extended week. We really appreciated all the photos and updates during our trip. The house was super clean when we came back and all our pets and plants were happy. I would highly suggest Caroline for peace of mind while you are away”


“Dina was great! We would highly recommend her as she is a sweet, kind person that is clearly vested in caring for animals. She took great care of our cat RUBY from feeding to playing and cleaning up, while communicating and sharing videos of her stay with RUBY. Dina quickly gained our trust and gave us piece of mind while away. Our experience with Dina was a 10 out of 10!”


“Rossy was an excellent sitter for my shy kitty. Not only did she keep her food and water topped off and litter clean, but she also put in a lot of effort to interact with my cat who, unfortunately, hid the whole time. It was so nice knowing that my kitty was at least having someone there to spend time with her, even if she was too scared to come out. I would highly recommend Rossy and will definitely book her in the future!!”
