2. Aimee H.
“Aimee did a great job on our last booking! I requested a last-minute drop in and she was able to accommodate no problem. I really enjoy working with her, she replies fast and is a great communicator.”
3. Beth T.
“Beth did a great job caring for my cat! I appreciated the photos provided and the fact that my cat looked content in them. There were a couple small things like our back door being unlocked and litter not being thrown away, but I could have communicated better! I recommend Beth to anyone needing an attentive and caring cat sitter.”

“Our Juni loves Stuart! She is a tiny high-need baby and I really appreciate the consistency, communication, and kindness he has shown to our (sometimes really annoying) baby puppy. Right now shes all teeth and little brains, and I'm glad we’ve had Stuart who we can trust in our home and to be kind and patient with our sweet girl. We hope to keep seeing Stuart through the different seasons of Juni’s development. Thanks so much, Stuart 💜”

Kane loved Tyler! Kane loved all the belly rubs and attention. We will definitely be booking Tyler again in the future.”
18. Trace H.
“This is the second time I used Trace and she did a great job again. Her communications about my cats were thorough and helpful (and the pictures were sweet).

“I have been so lucky to have Liv watch all 3 of my pets while I’m away. They have spent extra time with them and made sure to give them the extra TLC they need while I am away. They really do go above and beyond. We are lucky to know our fur babies are in great hands when we are gone. Thanks Liv.”
20. Barbara R.
“Barbara has been amazing with my dog, Duke. She’s caring, reliable, and treats Duke like her own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, she always makes sure he’s happy and well cared for. Duke absolutely loves her and has become so loyal to her—it’s clear how strong their bond is. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Barbara is thoughtful, attentive, and goes the extra mile every time. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves and cares for animals, Barbara is the best!”
