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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
