“We are so relieved to have found JoVonna. She is officially a member of our family now. Our 4 cats do not socialize with other family members but they took to JoVonna immediately. She administered medicine, kept food and clean water available, and the cats said I have to step up my litter boxes duties to match her. JoVonna exceeded all expectations on timeliness and communication. So grateful and will book her for all future trips.”

“Ioana was an awesome sitter for our cat! She was very professional when we met her. She did a great job keeping us up to date while we were away. We came home to a very happy, well taken care of cat. We would gladly book her again!”

“We typically have our cat, Bean, stay at a pet hotel when we’re on vacation. But saw that she would always come home stressed after being in an unfamiliar environment and decided to try out a pet sitter. Leann did an excellent job taking care of Bean while we were gone. She made sure Bean got all her needs met and medications taken. We came home to Bean being very happy and chatty. Leann provided great updates and response times and we would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Its always delightful to have Abby check in on my pup when I’m out of town. She is extremely proactive and great about communication, and I trust her wholeheartedly with my senior dog while I’m away!”

“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

“Kelly was super responsive when I had to cancel a day last minute and thankfully fed the stray that’s been on our porch! Will use her again! Thankful to her for sure!”
“I am really sad that I can only give Chase five stars. She was wonderful. Polite, prompt and very reliable. She treated my dog, Cooper, like he was her own. I loved receiving updates while I was gone knowing he was getting the attention, care and love he deserves. Chase was quick to ask questions and responds to text and email in a very timely fashion. If you hadn't booked with Chase yet - you need to!”

“Rachel has watched my active, social cat twice now. I think both bookings were rather last minute and I appreciate how flexible and communicative she is. But more importantly, my cat loves her! He is more relaxed and less anxious when I return than when I've have other sitters watch him in the past. Highly reccommend!”


“It was so nice to be able to enjoy a day out and know that my dog was taken care of just how I would! He got a nice walk, dinner, play time, and I received plenty of pictures. I really appreciate how kind and great at communicating Taylor is and would definitely have her look after my dog again!”

“Sadie-Jean took amazing care of our golden retriever Beau! She took a ton of pictures and sent updates! She spoiled him and went above and beyond! Beau was a very happy pup! We will definitely book with her again in the future if she is available! Thank you so much Sadie-Jean!”

“I am so thankful for Thea and the wonderful care she provided to my cat, Matisse, and thereby the peace of mind provided to me. She arrived and left at the set times. I was sent great pictures of my active, playful cat and a narrative of her activity and if any issues arose. When I returned the kitchen was immaculate as was her box and surrounding area! Very impressive. At the meet and greet it was obvious Thea loves her job and liked Matisse who can be rather rambunctious! Highly recommended!”

“Elizabeth was super reliable with twice-a-day visits, and so loving with Oliver! He loved her from the moment they met, and she executed all of his needs (food, vitamins/meds, treats, potty breaks -- everything!) with total ease. She took a picture each time, and reported any concerns right away. Elizabeth truly went above and beyond. I could not recommend her more highly!”

“Emma is the best! My kitty loves her, and she does so well with his routine and medicines. Traveling for work used to give me so much anxiety because I worried about my fur son, but I don’t worry anymore—I know he’s in good hands with Emma!”

“Allie was a spectacular sitter for my two cats. I will definitely be booking her for future vacations. She took such great care of my kitties and sent the best pics! She also played so well with my bengal who has a lot of energy to get out. Thanks Allie!”

“Rachel did a great job watching my cat! Her communication and photo updates really put my mind at ease while I was away. I really appreciated her kindness and care throughout the time I was gone!”

Ioana not only accepted my booking very last minute, but took the BEST care of my babies! Some scheduling issues with evening care resulted in lack of litter clean up, which Ioana promptly addressed and took care of without being a part of original care plan. Great communication, highly attentive, would recommend to anyone!!

Elizabeth is amazing! She took the best care of my two little kitties, Louie & Quiggy 🐱 She indulged all of their favorite things…playing in the backyard, treats on treats, and all the pets. She was very communicative and sent me so many pictures. I loved all the updates. They made me feel like my kitties were in good hands while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough.

Savannah took excellent care of my dogs! Both are rescues and one has some behavioral issues due to his past; Savannah was great and made a lot of progress with him in only two short visits. My dogs are not the most trusting and both were friendly and at ease with her right away.I would highly recommend her!

Rachel went above and beyond. She noticed one of the litter boxes getting low and added more litter (a task we’d forgotten in our rush to get going). Rachel washed up cat food bowls so we wouldn’t have as much to do when we returned and sent photos of everyone each visit. We will definitely be a repeat customer!

Mackenzie was great at communicating with me about my cat and leaving notes on his check-in card about what they did that day. She was very nice and she scooped his litter and everything for me as well. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to any one!
