“Loren took great care of my cat over the holidays. She communicated around each visit and made time to play with my cat and give her lots of affection. I would definitely book her again!”
“Jamie was responsive and took great care of our cat. We were delayed coming home from our trip, and she was very flexible, offering to continue to stop by until we could make it home. We ended up not needing that, but it was very appreciated. Jamie will be the first person we contact the next time we plan a trip and need cat care.”
“We highly recommend Caitlin. She took care of our cat Dexter for 4 days over Thanksgiving. She provided detailed reports, adorable photos, and videos. Although we always worry about our little guy, Caitlin put us at ease. When we got back, Dexter seemed so happy and well-cared for. A true gem of a sitter.”

“Noah is our go to dog sitter whenever we have to go out of town. Noah is reliable, provides regular updates, plays with our pup and ensures that all of our pups needs are met. Knowing that Noah is taking care of our Benji when we’re away puts our mind at ease. I am so happy to have found this service and will continue to book Noah for future trips :)”

Sarah was WONDERFUL!!!! She was kind enough to meet us for a few minutes the day before she had a drop in visit at our hotel/apartment. The day of she accommodated us on a quick time change, sent us pictures and detailed information about her visit. Our dog is shy, I was worried she wouldn’t go out with her but it looked like they had a great time… you Sarah!!!!!
