“Mackenzie did so well with our three kitties! She was attentive to their routine and put our minds at ease while we were away. She even went above and beyond to pick up a new litter scoop when ours broke right before we were supposed to leave. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated. We know that we can trust Mackenzie and that the kitties feel comfortable with her. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

40. Maggie B.
“Maggie is awesome! Before I left, I warned them that they probably wouldn’t see much of my cat Fern, as she’s wary of new people. But not only did Maggie make Fern feel safe enough to come out of her hiding spot, they also got her to play with them and get some pets! I was pretty nervous leaving Fern for a few days, but after Maggie’s first check in with her, I knew she was in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Maggie as a pet sitter, and I hope to use their services again in the future!”
