“Cynthia was really great with our 2 adult female cats! she was very responsive, stepping in last minute to do drop in visits after our original sitter fell through. Cynthia was very detail oriented and gave us great updates on each of her visits. We'd definitely consider using Cynthia the next time we need a pet sitter!”


“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”


“Victoria was such a pleasure! We communicated. It was really a last-minute drop in request for our three Dalmatians. We did a meet and greet and the three dogs immediately took a liking to Victoria, and they are very picky and a lot to handle!! Victoria showed up on time fed our three dogs took them potty and spent some time and sent pictures after! She did an amazing job is a great person and we would definitely book her again and highly recommend!”
