1. Amy Y.
“Amy is awesome! She has helped me twice now with doggy check-ins, walks, meals, and quality time with my dog Biscuit while I’ve been away. Amy is excellent with communication, photos and any and all updates. Always responsive and friendly. Biscuit loved her right away at our meet and greet. She’s wonderful with him and made my time away worry-free. I highly recommend her for anyone’s pet care needs. She’ll be my first choice next time I need someone to help when I’m not there.”

“Haley Jo took fantastic care of my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. She stopped by twice a day to feed and love on them and I came home to two very happy cats. Will definitely work with Haley Jo again!!”
8. Nishat R.
“Nishat graciously accepted our last minute booking, and she was able to do a meet & greet that night. Our cats seemed to feel comfortable around Nishat that very first evening, which helped us feel better about leaving our babes for the weekend. We received multiple photos after each visit and a brief update. Nishat's communications were prompt, positive, and friendly. We appreciate that she went out of her way (figuratively and literally - because she lived about 30 minutes away) to care for our cats like her own and clean up after each feeding. We highly recommend Nishat as a cat care giver! Thank you, Nishat!”

16. Joshua D.
“Joshua took excellent care of our kittens, Maple and Cedar. He gave them lots of attention and gave us amazing photo and video updates after every visit. When our smoke detector started chirping, he even reset it for us. Thanks again!”
17. Annagrace T.
“Gray was the best dog and cat sitter I’ve ever had! My dog Canolli, loved her so much!! She made sure he got enough food and gave him all the love that he needed. She even got my Cat Tyson to love up on her!! And Tyson HATES people. Could not recommend her enough!!!! Definitely will be booking again for my next vacation!!!”

19. Jasmine M.
“Jasmine was great as a drop in visitor for my kitty, super prompt and reliable. I'll definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
20. Kaydence D.
“Kaydence took excellent care of my two cats! She clearly followed our care instructions and communicated well throughout our trip. When we returned, our cats were happy and definitely not depraved of affection which was great to see, typically after a long trip they go through an extra needy phase, but not this time! We’ll definitely rebook for our next trip.”
