1. Morgan V.
“Morgan was so kind and communicative and best of all, she was stoked to sit for my dog while I was out for an evening. She was able to pick up the request on very short notice and my puppy absolutely adored her. It was such a relief to know that she was excited and happy to hang out with Griffin because I knew he’d be well cared for while I was absent! Will book with Morgan again in the future :)”
2. Charlotte N.
“Charlotte watched my cat for a week and she was great! Charlotte took many pictures everyday for me to have something to look forward to. She was very responsive via text when we chatted and made sure to help my the check-list of care items for Fava. Fava enjoyed the playtime and getting treats. Charlotte was kind to visit the home prior to make sure she would be all set before the visit. I appreciated her kindness and care for Fava. Looking forward to working with Charlotte!!”
3. Ella A.
“Ella was super helpful and gracious when I had to ask for a sit last-minute. Willie had a great time with her, and Ella left a detailed update of her time with my silly anxious dog”
4. Mina D.
“Mina is great and I will continue to book with her! Very reliable.”
5. Lydia L.
“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!”
6. Jonathan B.
“Jonathan was great. Very responsive and easy to communicate with, sweet and attentive with our dog. We only booked a few visits but will definitely return to him when we need another drop-in.”
7. Chelsea F.
“Chelsea was amazing and treated our pup like her own! So detailed and thorough with her visit and keeping us informed. Would definitely recommend and book again! Thank you Chelsea!!”
8. Susannah G.
“Susannah watched my 2 cats over the holidays, and we had a great experience. Awesome communication, reliable, and even went out of her way to meet in person before our trip to review the cats’ routine. Highly recommend!”
9. Samuel V.
“Sam was great! He was a fantastic cat sitter and did a great job taking care of my two kitties. Im glad I found him and will definitely have him take care of my cats again.”
10. Maxime Z.
“Thanks Maxime! Jinx really enjoyed your visits! Thanks so much-we hope you’ll watch her next time we travel !”
11. Lisa Q.
“Lisa took very good care of our one year old dog, Lavender. She generally communicated very well (with a preference for doing so outside the app) and kept us informed of issues that arose (e.g., a lost key). Our puppy seemed very happy when we got back. We’d be happy to use Lisa again.”
12. 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.”
13. Maria K.
“Maria was so much help when I got stuck at work! We booked two drop in visits and everything went perfectly. She was flexible, prompt, communicative, friendly, and treated Gravy the same way we’d treat him. 10/10 recommend. 10/10 would book again. Thank you Maria!”
14. Alexa K.
“Alexa was phenomenal! Watched my two cats for a week during the holiday. Clearly cares about pets, made sure my more anxious cat ate her food and went above and beyond playing with my other cat. Sent updates daily and was a timely communicator. I had peace of mind my whole trip knowing I could count on Alexa. Will definitely be re-booking with her whenever possible.”
15. Yaniera T.
“Our cat loved the couple of days she spent with Yaniera, who was a great sitter and really cared for our cat while we were away. 10/10 would recommend.”
16. Bailey R.
“Bailey was soooo communicative and incredibly detailed with her report. My cat is very challenging and she handled her so well. I’m so thankful she could stop by!”
17. Mandy S.
“Mandy is an absolutely amazing person and babysitter! She was super attentive and gave my Kitty lots of love and attention! She also was super communicative! An absolute superb pet sitter. I highly recommend!”
18. Shikha G.
“She did a job and was able to get my somewhat unfriendly cat to play.”
19. Najah A.
“Najah has treated my puppies with the true love and care. She’s great with dogs big and small! She goes above and beyond to ensure pups are happy and safe”
20. Kara R.
“Kara has meet and taken care of our baby George only a few times so far and he immediately loved her! She is caring, sweet, and spends lots of time giving him all the snuggles he needs mid day, we are very thankful. She also socializes him with people and he loves that extra attention! Highly recommend Kara for your fur babies!”
