“Lydia was a very helpful pet sitter! She followed all of the instructions I gave very well and managed to earn the affection of my very shy and cautious cat. She sent pictures of her every day which eased my worries, since I had never let her in the care of strangers before. I would hire her again without hesitation!”

10. Emma R.
“As a pet owner who is way too attached to their dogs, I enthusiastically recommend Emma Reistle as a conscientious, reliable, and caring pet sitter. I know she will care for my babies, Bo and Piper, as I would. When I leave them, it is important for me to know that more than their physical needs will be satisfied. The affection they receive from Emma makes their separation from me less stressful.”
