“Marcela was great with our 3 cats. She provided us regular updates and photos. All 3 warmed up to her and looked forward to her visits every day. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a car sitter.”
3. Krysta A.
“Krysta & Alex were great to work with! Took time for a meet & greet before hand to ensure they understood the dogs and their personalities and needs. Will def use again!”
4. Kristin D.
“Kristin was amazing with my 4 chihuahua/chi mixes. They are quite the handful and usually picky about people but they warmed up and loved Kristin quicker than they ever have with anyone! She truly took her time with them and provided exceptional care even under the "urgent" circumstances - I requested her the night before for an emergency situation and she came no questions asked with limited instruction because we had only had our initial meet and greet so hadn't really gotten into their care plans, etc. Super impressed and grateful. Highly recommend!”
5. Grace N.
“She was absolutely amazing. Our cats loved her, even our new rescue who is terrified of everything. She left very detailed updates on how they were doing and openly communicated with us.”
6. Andrew K.
About: I have lived with and cared for my cats and dogs over the past 15 years. I currently live with my 2 tabby cats and 1 German Shepherd. I mainly work from home so my daily routine includes caring for my pets throughout the day. We have a large yard for our dog and are also able to go on walks on our street here. I have lived and cared for cats and dogs of all sizes and am comfortable with any size cat/dog. I'm also detail oriented in following all owners specific instructions.
7. Adelina G.
“Adelina is an angel! My husband and I had to travel last minute for a funeral & she came to take care of our reluctant put & two cats. Our dog warmed up to her almost immediately & loved spending time with Adelina! She sent lots of pictures and updates & eased all of my anxieties about leaving our animals behind. I highly recommend booking Adelina to look after your fur babies <3”
