1. Hilary T.
“Hilary was fantastic! We had a virtual meet and greet so she could meet Mochi and she asked a lot of great questions. During the visits, she provided a great summary and sent some pictures to let me know how my baby was doing. Highly recommend!”
2. Katie P.
“Katie was great! She sent updates during each visit, of which there were many because I have a finicky little cat who needs lots of litterbox upkeep. Normally my cat is anxious and goes on a minor hunger strike when I’m gone, but not this time. She ate well, slept a lot, and seemed quite content upon my return! Katie was professional, attentive, and friendly. Thanks again!”
3. Shane J.
“Shane is always the best sitter for our dogs. We are so sad to be moving away to Oklahoma. Thank Shane for always being reliable and taking care of our dogs while we were out.”
4. Anna P.
“Anna is wonderful! She is super responsive and has helped us on short notice multiple times. Our dog loves her and always has a great time during her visits.”
5. Kimberly T.
“Kimberly was great. She took such care of Paul Hollywood and Prue while I was out of town. She provided daily updates on both of them. And the photos from the visits were fantastic. If she can get photos of cats like that with a phone Kimberly should consider a career as an animal photographer. I will certainly use Kimberly again”
6. Jimena G.
“Jimena was fantastic — she was so responsive, communicative and shared tons of details and photos from her visit with my pup! My dog can get a little rambunctious in the evening, but he had quietly put himself to bed without getting into any trouble before I got home, so he was clearly happy from his visit from Jimena. Will definitely call on her again!”
7. Rachel R.
“Rachel was amazing and went above and beyond for our cat! She gave detailed overviews of every visit and really cared about our cat. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
8. Jennifer F.
“Jennifer was very responsive and great to work with. We loved how much she loves cats and felt like our cat was in very good hands with Jennifer checking in on her while we were away!”
9. Kelly B.
“Kelly was super personable and empathetic to both mine and Sonny’s needs. She had great tips on how to administer the pilling process and she made it a seamless effort. I’m excited to keep having her help us for his future needs!”
10. Holly J.
“Holly was wonderful with our cat while we were out of town for the holidays. She was very easy to communicate with and took the time to get to know our anxious kitty.”
11. Erin L.
“Erin was exceptional! Great communication and pet watching/walking service. She even sent pictures for each visit. I will definitely schedule with her again!”
12. Mara S.
“Mara took care of my ancient cat when I needed it, in spite of said cat's unparalleled need for attention and shockingly loud expressions of said need. They're the first person I think of when I need someone to care for a pet (or a human child).”
13. Catherine B.
“Catherine went above and beyond for my cats. She even dropped by to give them a Christmas gift! I could not be happier with this experience. I was so nervous to leave the girls alone and she did a brilliant job!!”
14. Seulbi L.
“Seulbi took care of my cat the first time I was leaving her to travel. Naturally, I was a bit nervous--but I shouldn't have been. Seulbi did an excellent job keeping her fed and happy! She even stopped in a couple extra times to make sure everything was okay. I cannot recommend Seulbi more highly and definitely plan to rebook her whenever I travel!”
15. Cynthia J.
“Cynthia did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week. She was flexible to meet up beforehand, thorough, and gave great updates throughout the week. I will definitely book her again!”
16. Nina C.
“Nina was wonderful! She is reliable and we will definitely be booking her again.”
17. Gracie R.
“Gracie was wonderful. She did more than was anticipated and originally requested. The best compliment is that I won’t hesitate to request her again.”
18. Nicole J.
“I would highly recommend Nicole for your pet sitting needs! She took great care of my cat while I was away and left detailed updates so I knew he was in good hands.”
19. Alexandra L.
“We felt stress-free knowing our cat was in Alexandra’s hands. Our cat is very skittish and doesn’t trust new people, but was letting Alexandra pet her only a few days into watching her! Every night, I looked forward to the photos and updates Alexandra would send. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!”
20. Tori E.
“Tori did such a great job of taking care of our two kitties while we traveled in Europe. Our kitties are extremely spoiled, and she was so great to handle all of our requests! I did not worry about them for a minute while we were gone, which was a real bonus. And I loved all the pictures and video. Thank you, Tori, for taking such good care.”
