I cannot say enough good things about Kathryn! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Cleo, in her care. Kathryn is not only responsible and professional, but also truly loves animals, which is evident in how she interacted with Cleo. I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and safe. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pet, I highly recommend Kathryn! Thank you again, Kathryn, for taking such great care of Cleo!

Anya took excellent care of my cats and my house. She was able to give one of them a daily pill without any issues. The cats were happy to sit in her lap and be petted by her. She sent daily updates and pictures. She was very responsible. I would definitely book her again for cat sitting and house sitting.

Jornelle watched our dog and house for two weeks while we were out of the country. She did a great job taking care of our dog and our house. She was extremely communicative with us and even cared enough to take our dog to her family’s Thanksgiving (after consulting with us) so our dog wouldn’t be left alone for too long. Would recommend!

Whenever we need to travel and family isn’t around we get super anxious as we can’t trust just anyone with our amazing dog, Peach, who is dog aggressive. Finding Jonnie took that anxiety away. Upon meeting him, he took great interest in Peach and her routines. He walked her and took plenty of notes. He also met up with us again before leaving. By the time we left, my anxiety was gone. Jodie took perfect care of Peach, and our house. He also sent a TON of pictures, morning, midday and evening, which really comforted my wife and I. It was nice to see Peach hanging out in our home and at content in our absence. I highly recommend Jonnie.

Leaving your puppies is so hard and after a year of not traveling leaving them for the first time in what seems like forever was really tough. After the first update from Milena though all my fears went away. I could see from the picture how comfortable my pups were with her. She took such amazing care of them and I felt so grateful knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you so much for making my mind at ease knowing my dogs were safe and happy while in you’re care!

Veronica was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She went above and beyond, from picking up new toys and treats for the girls, to taking them on adventures, and doing everything she could to make them comfortable and happy. I received a ton of pics and videos and it was easy to tell how happy my Lily and Bella were with Veronica's care. I highly recommend Veronica for your pet sitting needs.

Lenaiya was so loving and enthusiatic. I had some anxiety because I know my puppy is high energy and likes to wrestle everyone he comes across, but she dealt with everything in stride. She had great commumication & washed his things when he had an accident. He came out super happy and excited. & is now knocked out from having the time of his life all weekend. Would definitely recommend & will certainly be using her services again.

If Cinthia is in your range, book her now. I've never felt more comfortable with a sitter. Actually, reconsider if you don't want your baby falling in love with your sitter 😹. Cinthia took the best care of mine. I was kept constantly updated with the most adorable photos and videos of my kitten. I could feel how happy my usually anxious kitty was, and could tell she had a great time when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.
