“Sunshine has now checked in on my cat Ginger while I was on 2 different trips! She kept me updated the whole time and even sent pics when she was visiting and followed all my instructions perfectly. She is usually a shy gal…so I was surprised to see pics of her cuddling up to Sunshine on her first time here, but she is just so kind to her, animals can tell I think 😁”
“Desirée did an amazing job! My cat was very happy and I could tell was cozy while we were away. She was also very good at communication, highly recommend hiring her to take car of your pet.”
“Johnny was a fantastic sitter for our cat! he was so attentive and caring, and made sure he was played with and loved every time he stopped in. our cat loved him and so did we!”
“Trace is great! Relaxed and easy to communicate with, took excellent care of my kitty. Daily updates with helpful info and photos. I highly recommend Trace for your pet!”
“Lori made it possible for me to leave for a long weekend and know my cat Pal was in great hands! Quick, thorough communication, lots of sweet photos, and very kind. Would definitely recommend!”
“Christopher is consistent, communicative, and caring toward my cat Yukiko. I would recommend him as a sitter to anyone looking for a great and stress-free experience!”
“Maya was so great and extra communicative! She helped out with both kitties (even a feisty one) and our two turtles. We will absolutely be using Maya again for help in the future!”
“Caroline was so friendly, communicative, adaptable and most importantly, so caring with fur babies! She left such detailed and thoughtful notes and photos, and went above and beyond with their care instructions. I’d definitely want Caroline to watch my pets again, and recommend her as a trustworthy person to anyone searching for pet care!”
“Vanessa took great care of my cat over a four-night trip! She was communicative and respectful of my cat's boundaries - even when my cat preferred to stay in hiding, Vanessa checked in on her, sent me photos taken from a respectful distance and kept me posted on her eating habits. She followed all the care instructions and was great to work with, so I'd definitely recommend her services!”
“Midory is great. She gave check-in updates with photos and some videos for each visit. The cats were shy at first, but Midory made appropriate and consistent outreach to them that resulted in their personality starting to come to the fore by the end of the week; one of the cats was fully relaxed within a couple of days of Midory’s first visit. The cat dishes and litter boxes were in great shape upon my return (not to mention the cats themselves :) I will definitely continue to employ Midory in the future.”
“Renata did an excellent job caring for our two cats when we had a last minute extended trip away. She is professional, communicates well and most importantly, the cats loved her! We highly recommend her services.”
“I had a difficult situation come up with a client who needed pet care while she was in the hospital. The process of getting Annie set up for regular care involved a lot of people and was not the typical booking, but Annie was so accommodating and went the extra mile. She ended up watching Midnight for three weeks in a row and did not complain a single time. She was so attentive and helpful. I don't know what would have happened to Midnight if she had not been there to look after him. We are so grateful. Thank you and will definitely book again!”
“Yana was wonderful from start to finish. I had never used Rover before and she was very patient and helpful on all of the steps to get started and she helped me feel more at ease with having someone I didn’t know care for our cat while we were gone. She was super communicative and would have insightful/sweet observations about Dash and helped us and him feel secure. When we go out of town again I would definitely want her to look after Dash again ♥️”
“Evita took great care of our cat! She was quick to respond to messages and was very consistent with visiting our cat the same time everyday. We will happily book with her again!”
“Jourdan has been great so far. She has visited Penny twice and has already made progress with her. She also came to meet Penny with us after hours before our visits began to make sure knew Jourdan was ok. We appreciated that”
“celeste is lovely and an animal lover!!! she is super communicative which i seriosuly appreciate. she is gentle and fun which makes sense why animals love her. thanks celeste for watching my kitty while i was out of town! 🫶🫶🫶🫶”
