“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”
“Brittany takes such great care of my kitties! She makes sure to keep me updated and sends pics and I can tell they love her, even my stand offish kitty who’s wary of everyone, lol. I’d recommend her to watch your fur babies too!”
“Emily got our shy cat to come out and cuddle with her! She was wonderful. She truly cares about your animal's wellbeing. Anytime I go out of town she will be my go-to. She is kind and constantly updates you. I may be stuck out of town for hurricane Ian and Emily offered to board Caramel last minute if we get stuck. I don't think I could have had a better pet sitter.”
“Jennifer is great’! She took many pictures and videos. My cat can be very nervous but he warmed up to her very quickly! I will definitely be using Jennifer again.”
“Saige took great care of my cat. She followed all the care instructions perfectly, was prompt and consistent. If you need someone you know your baby will be in goods hands with, Saige is your girl!”

“Destiny was fantastic with both our 3 indoor and various outdoor cats! She followed all the care instructions to a T, and even went above and beyond to write us detailed reports with her daily drop-ins: she alerted us to changes in eating habits, for example, and let us know when food was running low so that we could order more. She also took great pictures and sent them every day. She was just overall great with communicating with us, and always in the most timely fashion. We came home to a clean home full of happy cats! Would definitely book with Destiny again!”
“Brittany was fantastic with our skittish kitty, Sport. She clearly understands cats and took the time to earn her trust rather than rushing her. We really appreciated Brittany’s patience, calm approach, and attention to Sport’s comfort. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. We will book Brittany again and highly recommend.”

“Dillon is absolutely amazing with my puppy!! Copper is a puppy so he is so full of energy but Dillon is able to handle him with such kindness and ease! Cooper loves Dillon so when he isn’t available it’s sad because he is truly amazing with him. He also always takes such funny pictures of Copper I love it. I cannot recommend Dillon enough”

Angela took exceptional care of our 5 month old kitten, Cherry. This was the first time we’ve traveled out of town since she joined our family, and Angela went above and beyond to make her feel loved while her humans were away. We definitely recommend Angela to other cat owners. She sent pictures every day, and they showed her playing with Cherry and cuddling with her. They have obviously become friends for life!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Lauren! From start to finish, she was nothing short of amazing. Her communication was top-notch, always keeping us updated and responding quickly to any questions we had. She went above and beyond to accommodate our pets' unique needs and made sure they felt loved and cared for while we were away. Each drop-in visit was accompanied by detailed updates and adorable photos, which made us feel so much more at ease. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional to care for your pets, Lauren is your go-to! Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be booking her again for future visits. 😊🐾
Emily was great! I was going to be out of town for four days and wanted someone to stop in and check on my cat. Henry is somewhat shy with strangers, but Emily was able to befriend him very quickly, and she was kind enough to share photos and updates about how he was doing. Communication was great and I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter. Highly recommend!
