“Alyssa has caries out drop in visits with our rabbit and age has done a great job. Checking in daily on him making sure he got food, fresh water, hay and vegstables. Alyssa has been very service minded, responsible, and communicative sending us daily status and pictures. Highly recommending her and I will definitly place a rebooking the next time we need a rabbit sitter.”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Scooting is typical of Mae, inconsistent but common. Ill keep an eye on her, it could be a sign of a vaginal issue. Thanks for your help today. My train back to Boston, 30 minutes in, is heading back to NY due to an electrical issue. If this turns out to be an issue that requires me to stay in NY tonight, would you be available tomorrow AM to walk and feed them? I dont want to confirm any plans until I know what Amtrak is going to do. I’ll request the booking through Rover when I know.”
“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”
“Sue was fantastic. She took great care of my dog and took plenty of pictures. She even went above and beyond and put on his doggy sweater as she noticed he was cold. I highly recommend using Sue. Thank you!!”
“Stitches’ tail doesn’t wiggle for just anybody—but with Julia, it never stops! He can instantly sense her great energy, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy he feels around her. She’s so patient, caring, and attentive with him, and even in just 30 minutes, she makes such a positive difference in his day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Julia is truly amazing with him, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! 🐾”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful! We were so lucky to have her watch our cat for a week while we were on vacation. We knew our cat was in good hands and that made the vacation even better. She sent updates and photos and even went the extra step of taking out the trash and vacuuming a bit before we got home. Amazing!! Would have her watch our cat anytime, I wish I could give a 10 star rating!”

“Sabina did an amazing job. Went above and beyond in taking care of my cat even bringing over a comb, some rub in shampoo, and staying extra one day. Truly a great cat sitter!”
“I engaged Chuck's services for the first time. I am happy with Chuck's work. Our cat has recently been adopted and is incredibly shy. However, thanks to Chuck's diligent care, she did well during our absence.”
“Hannah is responsive, dependable, and flexible. She took care my chinchillas and birds while I was away and was good with communication. I will definitely contact her again when I’m out next time.”
“Claudia is an amazing pet sitter. She's incredibly considerate of our skittish kitty. Giving her plenty of time and space to get comfortable. Thanks to her, Smokie, our adult cat, is in wonderful hands when we're away. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Carol took great care of my senior cat and helped us feel more comfortable with leaving him. She gave him his wet food daily to keep up his regular routine and sent us daily updates and pictures. She took an earful from him everyday, but I appreciate her dedication so he could stay home in his environment rather than being boarded. Thanks, Carol!”
“Anna was the first person to check on our cats that wasn’t a family member or friend, and she surpassed all of our expectations! Each day during our weeklong trip, we looked forward to the detailed notes and various pictures of our boys whom we missed so much! Anna was reliable and responsive, and she cared for our cats as if they were her own ♥️”
“Kathleen is wonderful and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such great care of my senior dachshund Jack! She will be watching him soon when we travel and I’m so grateful I don’t need to board Jack because of his separation anxiety, plus he loves the comforts of his home. Thanks for going above and beyond, Kathleen!”

Marina was excellent. She followed the instructions specifically and in her notes made me feel very confident and comfortable about her and Pearl! She treated Pearl with great care and took the time to make Pearl feel safe. Pearl reacted to Marina in a way far more positive than Pearl has ever reacted to any visitor to our house.
Bryana was an amazing for the drop in visits for my old lady Pumpkin. They were super responsive and the updates they provided were so cute and informative. They also went above and beyond making sure my cat was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again the next time I travel.
Michelle was an amazing sitter. She was punctual and communicative the entire time we were gone. She gave great cuddles to our cat Sunny, which he really appreciated. Her updates were great with many photos and videos the entire time she was with Sunny. Really appreciated her taking such great care of him while we were gone!
My kitties LOVE J and I thoroughly trust her with them. I needed last minute care and medication administration and she took excellent care of both my adult cat and kitten. She stays in touch, sends great updates and I hope to have her hang with my cats again!
Longfei and Luning were absolutely amazing with Carl! From the moment I left, they made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands. They spent time playing with him, giving him attention, and making sure he felt comfortable and happy while I was away from home. It was clear they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own. I really appreciated the updates and the extra effort they put into making the experience stress-free for both Carl and me. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and thoughtful pet care!
My cats love Alyssa! She is attentive to their varying needs: playing with them, giving them treats, petting them on the floor. I really appreciate her photo updates and how she tells me when food/litter is running low, so that my cats always have what they need.
Cassie is a wonderful sitter for my 2 senior kitties. One needs daily medicine and she was great with him. He can be very elusive because of it but she was thorough and persistent in finding him every time! They were healthy and happy when we returned from an extended trip. She was a pleasure to work with and I definitely recommend her.
Traci was absolutely amazing with my cats, all of whom can be kind of shy around relative strangers. She sent me detailed updates and photos which were much appreciated. In the short time she spent with them, Traci was able to really tune in to their distinct personalities, needs and play styles to make them feel safe and loved while I was gone.
