Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper.

10. Jora H.

“Violet loves Jora!!! I think she may even like her more than me. 😂 It’s apparent that Jora is an animal lover through and though, she immediately bonded with Violet and was super communicative through the whole process. I won’t be leaving my dog with anyone else from now on, Jora is the best of the best and I’m sure your fur children will love her just as much as Violet did 😍”

17. Kelly R.
About: As a long time dog lover I’m looking for furry friends to keep me company during my cardio sessions around the fan/museum district. My fiancé and I are waiting until after our wedding to get a dog ourselves. I would love to take your dog on walks or runs whichever you prefer. I hope that your dog enjoys the time we spend together just as much as I will. Can’t wait to meet you and your dog. I work from home and am available to walk/run with your furry friends on my lunch break or after work. I’m very active and would enjoy company on my walks/runs. I treat all dogs like my own. I will love and care for them as if they were mine. Their safety and comfort always come first.


18. Harlee J.

“Harlee was so helpful with my kitty during my 6 day trip! She helped me troubleshoot an issue with my cat’s feeder and was just generally very kind and responsive. Would 10/10 recommend and def would book again!”


19. Alisandra M.

“Alisandra has been giving Kitty her meds once a week throughout the summer. She has be friendly and reliable. Kitty looks forward to her visits. We greatly appreciate being able to count on her.”


20. Emmalee G.


“Emmalee was so easy to work with! She was communicative and kind all the way from my initial request through her final visit. After our first meet & greet I felt assured that Justin (my cat) and my home would be safe with her. He was adopted just a month ago and I was really nervous to leave him. He’d only come out to see one of my visitors before Emmalee came to catsit. By her second visit he was on her lap. I am very happy with our experience and hopefully a new long-standing relationship with our awesome catsitter, Emmalee. ☺️”
