Catherine was amazing with my two elderly cats! I have a lot of anxiety about leaving them alone, especially since one of them needs an injected medication with his meals. Catherine was consistently communicative and is clearly a conscientious pet caregiver. Both cats warmed up to her very quickly and were very well taken care of while I was away.

Angelee was great! She is very communicative, she sent us photos and videos of Savannah while we were away. Savannah is not the easiest cat to get along with, and she might be moody when she’s alone. But Angelee took her time to establish a connection with Savannah, play with her favorite toys, and make sure she was cared for. Thank you so much, Angelee! ✨

It was such a relief knowing my precious fur child was being cared for by someone competent and experienced. Ariel worked with me to get my wild 1.75 year golden on the schedule with very short notice and went on to provide thorough documentation of their activities and the fun they had together.

Brittany has been amazing. My dog is super stubborn and timid and he wouldn’t go out, and then the next day he finally warmed up to her and he let her take him out. She sends pics, and great updates. Very thankful for her! Highly recommend

Jeff did a wonderful job with my 4 cats. I was really nervous leaving them alone with a stranger, but from the beginning he was very responsive and communicative. When he came by for the meet and greet it was clear he was a cat lover, and took the time to get to know my cats individually. I left him very complicated instructions (4 cats, 4 different diets, all 4 needed medicines), and he handled it like a pro. He sent me a ton of updates, photos and videos, and it was clear he put a lot of time into playing with them, petting them, bonding with them... I felt like I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because they were in good hands. Highly recommend him!

Kayla offered very generous rates for taking care of our cats while we were on our honeymoon. She communicated with us every day, asking clarification to make sure they were safe and happy. She also stopped one of our very outside-lovimg cats from running out the door every day. Overall, a good experience, and we really appreciated the peace of mind from seeing photos of them each day.

Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3

Addie was amazing with my puppy! I work night shift an hour+ away and it’s always a struggle finding a sitter available to do drop in visits so late. I recently had a bad experience with a sitter falsifying care (I have a pet cam) and I was stressed I wasn’t going to be able to find anyone to check on her because of my schedule. Addie exceeded all of my expectations! She gave Maple so much attention, care, playtime, and affection! She was on time, she communicated well, and she was extremely accommodating to my little requests (like making sure my tv didn’t auto shut off so she could have background noise, or giving her a frozen pupsicle treat before leaving). She sent a ton of pictures of their time together and my girl looked so happy! She even won the heart of my cat, who is normally shy around new people. 10/10 experience! Thank you so much, Addie!
