“I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Dawn listened to what I needed for my aging pets and provided routine updates that those needs were being met. I felt safe having her enter my home to care for my fur babies. Will definitely use her services again, for an upcoming trip!”
“Hoai was a better sitter than we could have imagined! She took detailed notes about the kittie’s preferences during our meet and greet, and gave us thorough updates during her drop ins. It gave us so much peace of mind, and the kitties were in great spirits. She also left the house and cat bowls spotless, which was the cherry on top!”
“Camille was simply amazing with Turbo. She was very knowledgeable about greyhounds and their peculiarities, this was important for us. Camille even scheduled a meetup at our home two days before to meet with Turbo and introduce herself. After meeting with her we felt very comfortable leaving Turbo in her care. During the visit we received pictures and updates throughout her stay. We could tell Turbo was relaxed and loved. Camille will be our first choice the next time we need someone to watch our boy.”
“Ilana did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was on time, followed all instructions, and communicated well. Before we left, she made sure to come by our house to meet the dog, take him for a walk, and really get to know him and our needs. While we were gone, we always knew what was happening as she communicated so effectively. She is the next best thing to having us home! 5 Stars - we will use Ilana again!”
“This was the longest trip I’ve had away from Romeo, but I didn’t worry nice. Laura is thoughtful, thorough, and takes the best care of my kitty! She is the best pet sitter and I am SO grateful to have her!! I 1,000% recommend her! ♥️🐾”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Nikki! From the moment we met her, we knew our cat was in great hands. Nikki has a warm and trustworthy presence, the kind of energy that immediately puts you at ease. Even our cat, who typically takes time to warm up to new people, took to her right away – greeting her each day with enthusiasm! It gave us so much peace of mind during our trip knowing that Nikki was there to take such good care of him. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter. Thank you, Nikki!”
“Thank you for always making me feel so comfortable that Jax is taken care of no matter if it’s a check-in or a long trip. Thank you for always meeting him where he is where he wants to be playful that day or whether he’s made a mess in front of his box. I appreciate it all.”
“David did a great job keeping our kitties happy and fed! I appreciated that with each visit he left photos and information about what happened during the visit and how they were doing. I would absolutely rebook David next time we go on a trip!”

We've trusted Nikki with our cat several times and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of him and sends the most amazing photos and videos, which make being away so much easier. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and feel very lucky to have found her.
Thanks to Laurie we have had another successful trip without worrying about our cat. Laurie is the best! We can always count on her to make sure Benny gets his treat each visit and has his food, water, and litter refilled. He also gets play time with Laurie each day. We also appreciate all the updates and photos Laurie sends us. Thank you Laurie! :)

Emma was a wonderful help caring for our two kitties while we were gone. I was nervous to leave them in the care of someone new, but she was great! She showed up when she said she would and communicated regularly. We loved seeing the photos of our kitties and updates on how they were doing. We will definitely reach out to Emma for future kitty care.
