1. Maria T.

“Maria took wonderful care of my cats. She was very flexible with her availability as I was waiting for a family member to be released from the hospital. I am thankful for her help.”


2. Aimee P.
“Aimee was wonderful, I will be definitely be asking her to visit with my kitty again! She was able to convince my extremely shy cat to come out from under the bed on her very first visit, and it was clear from all the updates during my lengthy trip that my cat adored her. She always shared great updates and pics, and she closely followed all of my quirky instructions about feedings. Highly recommend!”


3. Arjun B.

“Made sure my cats were alive, played with them, and dealt with my complex apartment entrance!”


4. Olga B.

“Olga is a very friendly, engaged and reliable catsitter and we and our two cats liked her very much. While we were away on a two-weeks vacation she came twice daily to look after our furry friends and beaides feeding and cleaning the cat toilet played with them. Moreover, she watered the house plants. Olga sent us photos on the occasion of each visit. We will be pleased to entrust her with looking after our cats and the house again in the future.”

7. Michael O.

“Our dogs felt comfortable with her immediately. Michael is kind and gentle and the perfect dog sitter. She goes out of her way to accommodate even unusual requests, I.e. she took care of our pups in our camper van while we went to an appointment in DC and even helped us find a parking space!!! We highly recommend her !!!”


8. Brenna L.

“Brenna was wonderful! She dropped in on our dog Sadie for 3 days when we had to be away all day, and Brenna did a great job of taking Sadie for a walk and spending time with her.”


9. Caroline F.

“Caroline is seriously the best, her updates are so detailed and I could tell our cat had a really nice time with her”


10. Allie T.

“Allie was great! She was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. From the beginning, she confirmed the stay within minutes, came over to meet Nahla beforehand and provided updates/photos throughout the weekend. Nahla is a bit shy at first but it looks like it didn't take long for them to get along. I would absolutely reccomend Allie to pet sit and will certainly use her again.”


11. Ashley X.

“A huge thank you to Ashley X! She was so sweet with all my concerns and questions having not left my pup with someone I didn’t know. She visited, walked, gave lots of pets and even drew an amazing pup portrait. Yes, a portrait of our pup! I highly recommend her and we will absolutely use her again when needed.”


12. Casey A.

“Casey is awesome! She watched our cat for a week and took the time to get to know him, when he wants attention, what toys he likes to play with, etc. She sent us a detailed overview of each visit with lots of pictures, which were great because we were nervous about leaving him for the first time. She was also really responsive for booking and throughout the trip. I would highly recommend!”


13. Josue R.

“Josue was great, my cat loved him and he was very communicative!”


14. Elise C.

“I always feel so comfortable leaving my cat at home because I know heather does a great job and is incredibly dependable! I highly recommend Heather for cat-sitting.”


16. Melanie F.
“Melanie is one of the most trustworthy people I know and will care for your pup as if it were her own. My dog has many preferences about his food, walks, bathroom breaks, and activity levels, and Melanie is very patient and loving with him, so much that he is a big fan of snuggling with her at every opportunity. She makes sure to send regular updates, and my dog always comes home happy. I can’t recommend her enough!”


17. Catherine B.

“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”


18. Jasmine R.
“You'll be pressed to find a more caring and lovable person to watch your pets. Jasmine truly loves animals and taking care of them. She's very responsible, punctual, and accommodating. She'll send you very detail reports and several pictures, because she enjoys spending time with cats and dogs, and you can tell from everything she does for them. She's watched my 2 cats and dog several times, and has consistently shown she cares for them and will do all she can to make sure they're happy.”

“She took great care of my cat and was very flexible!”


20. Andrew P.
