9. Kristen T.
“Kristen is awesome! She watched our cat Zolo while we were away on a cruise for 5 days, and when we got back home we found Zolo happy and well taken care off. It was our first time leaving Zolo alone for such a long time, and needless to say, I was a bit nervous that he may be lonely and stressed. Kristen gave updates with pictures after each visit and it meant so much to us. We knew Zolo is doing just fine and we were able to enjoy our vacation. We would recommend Kristen to anyone who is looking for an amazing pet sitter. Thank you Kristen!”

16. Mauricio G.
“Mauricio is literally speaking dog’s language. He helped with training my 2 y.o. terrier (commands, obedience, not to be reactive to cats). He has taught me how to behave with my dog as well. Today my dog is 9 years old and we are forever grateful to have had Mauricio as a trainer during half a year. Mauricio is responsible, reliable, cooperative and professional. He has an amazingly friendly personality and we stayed friends through all these years. I would highly recommend Mauricio as a dog trainer/walker.”
