“Ashley is the best and leaves me the funniest report cards for my cat Violet. I look forward to them every day and it makes me feel so much better leaving my cat when I know someone as caring as her is watching her. She is so patient and kind to my timid kitten and I will continue to rebook her every time I need a sitter. Thanks again Ashley!”


“Nick is always available, professional and courteous. He’s been looking after my cat for a couple of years, not very frequently given COVID but this visit isn’t any different from the first. He’s always communicative, responds quickly and my cat is happy to see him. Highly recommend.”


“Luisa was so engaging with our cat while we were out of town. She came each day, took photos, and shared how she thought our cat was feeling. She was able to come last minute and we are so grateful for her!”


“Caris checks in on my dog weekly and she is wonderful! She is so communicative and I fully trust her to take care of my senior pup. She always makes sure I know what’s going on and takes great photos! Definitely would recommend her!”


“Erin has sat for my dog several times the past few months and has always been excellent. It's clear she cares a lot for the pets she watches and has even brought mine some treats of her own to make her more comfortable when I'm away. Communication has always been great during all of her visits. I'll continue to book with Erin in the future!”


“Anna has been taking care of my new rescue dog since the second day I took him home, and he immediately took to her. She takes him on long walks that give him lots of fresh air and exercise, and always checks in to let me know how Ziggy did on his walks and drop ins. I also felt instantly comfortable with her and was easily able to put my trust in her.”
