“Alexa took care of our kitty over the holiday weekend! We are so glad we found her. She took good care of our baby.

Hanna was an excellent cat sitter for me while I was away on vacation! This was my first time leaving Leo with someone that wasn’t a family member or friend so I was a little nervous. Hanna kept me updated with texts and pictures about Leo and responded quickly. I would definitely book with Hanna again!
Amelia is quite literally the best sitter we’ve had. She gave detailed and insightful accounts of what Mango (our cat) was doing during her visit and took a lot of photos each day! Her notes picked up our our cat’s personality and I felt like I could actually tell how Mango was doing. She is also an expert at interacting with cats! She followed our suggestions to try and engage/give our cat attention but also noted Mango’s boundaries/when Mango wasn’t interested. My fingers are cross that Amelia will be free the next time I go out of town!
Lizzie helped watch our two cats while we were out of town for a 2 week trip. This was the longest period of time that we have ever left them home 'alone,' so we were a little anxious about being away for so long. But, Lizzie did an amazing job and helped keep us at ease with her detailed updates -- with lots of cute pictures! She was so sweet with our boys and we could not be happier with the care she provided :D
MeiLi did a phenomenal job of taking care of our two Iggys while we were on vacation for like 10 days. Meeting MeLi for the first time at our meet and greet I knew we would be in good hands with her and my instincts were correct. She gave us daily updates with fun photos and videos and best of all we came home to clean house! Thanks MeiLi!
