1. Elizabeth E.
“Elizabeth was just who I needed for my Lynx. Being away from my cat for a month (for the first time!) was nerve wrecking at first because Lynx can be high maintenance. I was definitely worried about finding someone who could be just as patient as I am with Lynx but also care and play with him too; Elizabeth put that at ease. She replied to my request the same day and was open to letting me bring Lynx over to her apartments a month in advance so we could meet in person and let Lynx roam her space as a trial run. Elizabeth was sweet the moment I walked into her home and treated Lynx as her own. The entire month was away abroad, she sent me daily pictures and weekly video updates of Lynx and I could tell right away, Lynx was comfortable. All the stories she would tell me made me so relaxed and happy. Towards the end of the service, I had to request an extension for another week, and Elizabeth was not hesitant for the last minute adjustment. I will absolutely reach out in the future for when I travel again and need Lynx in good hands - thank you Elizabeth! Lynx misses you already!! ❤️”
2. Christina C.
“Christina is amazing! My cat can be temperamental and very difficult for strangers to handle, but Christina did a great job. She took things very slowly during my house sitting booking and respected his space, and by the end of my vacation he was comfortable enough to snuggle with her! Definitely recommend.”
3. Vicky S.
“Vicky was incredible in every way possible, it is not often that you can find someone who will take care of your pets as your own, but Vicky went above and beyond. This was the first time I felt the anxiety of leaving my pets alone be lifted by knowing she was taking care of them every day. She left detailed notes every visit and so many photos! I can’t recommend her enough!”
4. Ekaterina D.
“Kate did an amazing job, was always communicative, and my cats seemed very healthy and happy when I got back. Would definitely recommend!”
5. Julia D Y.
“Julia is fantastic with pets. I've seen how she's taken care of and fostered pets before including rats and cats, and she treats every animal with love and like a member of her family. She has walked plenty of dogs and petsit for me as well and she gives so much care and attention. Plus, she gives updates and pictures always. A+!”
6. Victoria M.
“Victoria is a godsend! Amazing, amazing! Best sitter I have ever used. She goes above and beyond and was very flexible and communicative with me during my time away. 11/10”
7. Sarah T.
“Sarah is THE dog sitter. The care and love she puts in making sure each dog is mentally stimulated, properly cued, and positively reinforced only speaks to Sarah's commitment as a dog mom. Your dog is in excellent care in her hands.”
8. Christopher G.
“the best sitter ever! We’ve chosen Christopher to take care of our cat while we are out for 4 times already. He did a great job on giving our cat cans, cleaning up litter box, and playing with our cat. He sent us pics and our cat loves him. We will chose him again without any doubt and 5 stars as always! Thank you and happy holidays!”

16. Susan K.
