8. Allie K.
“Allie is a phenomenal sitter! She is attentive and does exactly as I ask every time. This is my second time using her services and my two kitties always seem content when I come home. She always takes plenty of pictures and leaves me a daily report of how they are doing. One of my cats is quite shy and scared of everything, but Allie quickly gained her trust as well as my other kitty with her expertise and warm personality. Thank you Allie! Highly recommend.”
9. Lidia A.
“Lidia is a complete angel and THE ONLY person I trust my baby with!! I am positive she is treated better at her place than at home. (And trust me she is spoiled). I have a senior toy yorkie who needs a ton of attention and sometimes extra care as she is a diva. Lidia goes above and beyond and treats her like her own. She also has a built in playmate as Lidia’s dog is super friendly and hospitable to visitors in his home!! I love how she knows I have separation anxiety and will send cute pictures and updates throughout the day. If you are in need of a reliable, professional, and super sweet sitter, look no further.”
