“Nathan was amazing, very detailed, & paid special attention to the needs of our 3 rescues. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great pet care and will definitely be using him again in the future!”
2. Amanda J.
“Amanda was amazing - this was our first time getting a sitter and she was very reassuring and understanding of our nerves of leaving our babies for the night. She was very experienced and knows what she’s doing! So patient and gentle with our animals and gave time and care to make sure they were comfortable and happy. We are definitely going to book her again in the future and are so so happy with her.”
3. Whitney T.
“Above and beyond! Whitney is of the best cat sitters we have ever had. We will without a doubt have Whitney back to take care of our house and two cats. She was incredibly caring with their different personalities and had exceptional communication through out her stay. She was flexible with some of our travel time changes and left the house cleaner than when she arrived. I’d leave more stars if I could!”
4. Halley H.
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank ???!!! Halley made going on a trip with my family so much easier and enjoyable by knowing my pups were in such good hands. Dogs were well cared for, house was cleaner than I think I left it for her, and her communication was fantastic. I’m so grateful for your help Halley. Thank you!”
5. Claire A.
“Claire is a cat whisperer - I think our cat might like her better than us! She does a great job taking care of our cat and our house. She is our go-to cat sitter.”
6. Stephanie B.
“There are not enough good things to say about Stephanie! She took such great care of our highly anxious dog (and the house). Stephanie was patient with him, and encouraged him to love life while we were out of town. I’ve never seen him so happy while we were gone. We can’t thank her enough!”
7. Will T.
“Will is great, he really connected with the dogs stayed in contact the whole time. He was very present to work with and seemed super excited to stay over and play with the pups. Overall a great experience”
8. Melody V.
“Where do I begin?? Melody is the best! I haven’t trusted many people with my dog but I would 100% trust Melody to watch him again. My biggest worry was that my dog was taking 4 different medications when I was leaving him and Melody administered the complicated medications with no problem at all. He is also a very high energy dog and she cared for him with such ease. If you are looking for someone you can trust and rely on to take excellent care of your pet, then look no further. Oh and she cleaned my apartment - it was spotless and cleaner than when I left it. Such a kind gesture to come home to after a long travel day. I cannot recommend Melody enough :)”
9. Amanda H.
“Amanda was wonderful for my fur children while away. She was responsible and timely, and shared pictures throughout her stay with them so that our minds were at ease and we could relax. Our Aussie/Border Collie has extreme anxiety and attachment issues, but I could tell he immediately relaxed around her! We are so thankful to have found her!!!”

I'll be booking her again for sure!”
