1. Chris W.

“We have a very shy cat and Chris was able to coax her out of hiding and get some good pictures of her! He also spent a little extra time with her on a drop-in visit, was very communicative, and left our apartment clean and tidy! We definitely recommend Chris for cat sitting!”


2. Elizabeth S.

“Elizabeth was wonderful! She took great care of our two cats, even offering to go twice in a day to make sure she was there for enough time with them which was above and beyond what I had asked of her. I could tell she treated our cats like our own and I trusted her immensely with them. I would happily have Elizabeth watch my cats anytime!”


3. Sarah M.

“Looks like my pup had a great time!!”


4. Brent S.

“Brent is excellent with my shy cats. I am so pleased that he gained their trust and they didn’t just hide the whole time. Brent is reliable and communicates quickly. He sent wonderful photos of the cats too. I am so happy he was available again.”


5. Rachael B.

“Rachael was incredible! Very responsive and easy to work with, and she gave great updates and sent photos every day. Our extremely shy cat warmed up to her quickly, which doesn’t happen often!”


6. Teddy B.

“Teddy let me know when he arrived, sent photos, and spent time playing with my dogs after their dinner. Dogs were happy and the house was perfect when I got home. Highly recommend!”


7. Allison E.

“Allison was great! She was thorough, on time and responded quickly. She sent pictures of our pet and brief report each time she visited. That helps us to know how our pet was doing. When we are out of town next time, we will for sure ask for Allison again!”


8. Roman C.

“Roman is so helpful, professional and has been available to work with me even last minute :) i appreciate his flexibility and he is always on time!”


9. Erin T.

“Erin was an amazing sitter!! She took such good care of our kitties while we were out of town, and our shy guy came down to hang out with her (usually he hides if we aren't home). We would highly recommend Erin for anyone looking for someone to take great care of their fur babies while they're away. Thanks so much, Erin!”


10. Jessica G.
About: Hi there! With 15+ years of caring for dogs, cats, and all kinds of furry companions, I’ve seen (and loved) it all—from bouncy puppies figuring out the world to wise senior pets who just need a gentle touch and a comfy spot to nap. I’ve helped with medication, basic training, long walks, couch cuddles, and everything in between. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family—because to me, they are! Whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or staying overnight, your pet will be in kind, capable, and loving hands. I’m currently a remote student, and while my program keeps my brain busy, it also gives me the flexibility to fill my days with tail wags, belly rubs, and long walks. Whether it’s morning zoomies, midday snuggles, or evening strolls, I’ve got time carved out to care for your fur babies—weekdays or weekends, rain or shine! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and honestly, it’s the best part of my day. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and making sure everything feels just like it does when you’re there. I respect your space like it’s my own and follow all routines closely—mealtime, walk schedules, meds, and favorite cozy spots included! I keep things clean, calm, and stress-free, and I always make sure your pets feel secure and loved. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I want you to feel totally at ease knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands.


11. Justin L.
“Justin has watched and cared for my cats several times. He has a real way with animals, and our cats are no exception. He’s very attentive to their needs, caring, and gives them plenty of play time. You would be lucky to have Justin caring for your animals! He also has a cat of his own and I’ve never seen a pet owner so committed to the well-being of their pet; he transformed his apartment to make it super fun and friendly for his cat!”


12. Bryce P.

“Bryce is helping with my 85lb GSD mix who has separation anxiety and is reactive to other animals. Bryce does drop-ins for us and has the best energy for an anxious dog! He's so calm and confident that my GSD took to him immediately. Tummy rubs galore! I feel like we won the lottery by finding Bryce. I know my sweet boy feels like he found a new friend.”


13. Hayley B.
“Hayley has watched my 3 cats multiple times. She is responsible and is clearly a lover of all animals. She sends pictures and cleans up after my cats. She’s a great pet sitter and I highly recommend her.”




14. Aly S.


“I had a pet sitter cancel on my last minute and Aly was able to drop in to watch my cat. Aly was great looking after my cat, highly recommended!!!”


15. Grace M.


“Grace was lovely and respectful of my space. Even watered my patio plants! My kitty seemed well taken care of and I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying. Thank you, Grace.”


16. Moriah F.

“Riah was amazing, she knew how to handle our extremely skittish dog and our extra spicy kitty. She keeps us updated and notices small things that help the animals stay comfortable”


17. Sophia J.
“Sophia has been a wonderful, reliable, and trusted dog walker for us for several years. She is so easy and flexible to work with, and we know we can reach out to her at any time to schedule a walk. Sophia gives our dog lots of attention, and takes her for long walks around the neighborhood, which our pooch loves! Sophia is totally trustworthy -- we often leave a key for her to pick up our dog from our house. We are so grateful for Sophia -- thank you!”


18. Tziarra K.
“Tziarra is a dog lover to her core. From a very young age she’s had a connection to them like no other. She’s naturally loving and caring. When she speaks in her doggie talk.. pets listen and gravitate to her. She is very communicative and pays close attention to detail. Don’t be surprised if she brings to your attention something about your pet has that has gone unnoticed. You won’t find a better caregiver for your pet. She’s the best! ❤️”




19. Susy B.

“Susy was great with my shy cat! She really took her time to get to know our kitten and we felt totally safe knowing our baby was in her hands!”




20. Rachel N.


“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of our beloved dog, even after he had a rough first night. She also kept an eye on our fish and bunny. Kept us updated every day and took some great pics too! Would definitely book again!”
