“She was very responsive upfront, met with me and my cat promptly and then carried out the visits on time during my trip. She did a great job!”


“Justine is the best! She goes above and beyond to care for your fur baby. 1000% recommend”


“Kelly did an excellent job of taking care of our cat and I would highly recommend her. She provided comments and photos after each visit. 10 out of 10!”


“Mike and Jennifer were amazing and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were there to spoil our 5 cats. Genuine people who love animals and will definitely be asking them to watch our cats again. They must have the magic touch as they were able to coax out our “scaredy” cat and give him love. Thank you both so much!”


“We love Nadia and her professionalism with our 2 cats. She's super considerate and was kind enough to visit our place on short notice when we realized we forgot something for our cats after we left. She's great with our cats, and we look forward to her helping us in the future as well.”


“Emily was phenomenal! Very sweet and loving, and was prompt with check-ins and overall communication. Very thankful I could enjoy my time away with no worries!”



“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”


About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her! Rather than getting our puppy a puppy to play with we thought we would try out dog sitting as a way to get some more fun furry friends in the house! We take our golden doodle on a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. She has free access to the backyard whenever she wants through the doggy door. My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine! All the snuggles, play, and love they deserve! My son will also provide more than enough to wear them out I promise that haha

“We booked Ellena last minute for check-ins and she was awesome with our fur babies! She communicated with us wonderfully and even sent pictures during her visits! will definitely book again when we need her!”


“Stella had a play date at Cal’s house with her dog Rory, and boy was she excited! She can’t wait to go back!”


“Jenna was awesome with taking care of my newly adopted cat! I came back to my place just as I had left it, with a happy cat that was well taken care of. I would most definitely book her again if I ever need a pet-sitter again, she's great with animals and very responsive any time I would message her.”
