“Abigail was a fantastic pet sitter for our kitten, Teo! Our shy cat was immediately drawn to her during an introductory visit, which was a good sign. She took amazing care of Teo and sent lots of pictures, which I appreciated. Our flight was delayed 9 hours and she was willing to stop in again to make sure Teo was properly cared for. Hiring Abigail again in the future is a no-brainer for us, she was absolutely incredible! Thank you Abigail for all your hard work!”
“Couldn’t be happier! She took such good care of my boys! I think they really would not have minded me being gone longer. Will definitely be asking her to sit for them again. She was great! Thank you so much!”
“Issabella did a great job dropping in to give our cat Doug love while we were gone for 2.5 weeks! We felt rest assured he’d get played with and given attention with Issabella around. Very grateful!”
“Amanda’s lovely. This was my second time using Amanda for drop in visits with my boy Oliver, it was very last minute so I really appreciate her flexibility! She is so sweet with my sassy boy. She is definitely my go-to gal!”

“Sophia was very good with the cats; I could tell by the pictures that she sent. They were friendly to her when they met her. Usually they are more aloof with new people they meet. Sophia took care of all the things we asked of her. I got a really good vibe from her and felt that my babies would be well cared for. I would recommend her, and we would hire her again.”
