“Kade is super nice and goes out of their way to give your pet the best care possible! I needed someone who was patient and understanding with skittish animals and Kade was perfect!”
“We can't thank Anna enough for the amazing care she provided for our cat during our 9-day vacation. She was incredibly thorough, sending regular updates and adorable photos that gave us peace of mind. Not only did she make sure our little guy was well taken care of, but she also took the time to play with him and keep him happy. We highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“As always, Elijah took excellent care of our crew while we were out of time. Excellent with communications and makes an effort to win even the trust of our most skittish cat!”
“Harlee was great for my kitty!! She's been his rover since he was a new kitten and we love using her as our rover :) She always sends lots of pics and is attentive to answering messages. 10/10 recommend!”
“Katherine’s care for my two cats was absolutely fantastic, she truly went above and beyond! She did drop-in visits for them on super short notice, even through the water crisis (when my home and most of the city had no running water), and multiple snowy days, with absolutely no problem! Her detailed visit reports and multitude of photos helped me feel completely at ease, despite my tendency to be quite overprotective of my kitties. And when I got back from my trip, my cats were relaxed and happy, they seem to have had a lovely 5 days with Katherine’s care. I will absolutely be booking with Katherine again, I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Very responsive. Gave great updates. It made me feel so much better being out of town and knowing someone was taking such good care of my cat.”
“Highly recommend Elizabeth! She was great with Huey and sent me updates and photos everyday :) Huey was so happy when I came home, and I know that's because he had a great time with his new friend, haha! Would use her again, for sure.”
“Lila put me completely at ease at our first meeting, and from the cute photos she sent it seems like my silly kitten had a great time with her! I’ll definitely book her again the next time I’m out of town, she did a wonderful job!!”
“Kelly was phenomenal! From the beginning she was very thorough with checking all the necessities for my cat, and then after each drop-in provided amazing updates on eating, behavior, and general activity while she was there. Kelly also went above and beyond by taking out the trash from the week’s litter—I truly can’t recommend her highly enough, and have already asked her to watch my cat again!”
“Kyla was so great for drop-in visits this past week! She's very sweet and my normally shy cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She had great communication with the daily updates and pictures :) no notes, and will definitely see if she's available to book again next time I'm out of town. Thanks again, Kyla!”
“Jeffrey was wonderful! Our cat Azure stayed with him for almost two weeks while we were out of town for the holidays. We got tons of photos and videos and you could tell she was having a blast with full command of the house, complete with climbing surfaces, pets, and cuddles. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we’re out of town!”
“Chloe was very responsive and ensured that she got to know our Bert before we left. She sent me cute pictures of him to ensure all was well while we were away. Thanks Chloe!”

“My cats were so happy and well taken care of with Lee. I appreciate and loved his daily check in notes and photos. My shy cat has a hard time with strangers but even she became comfortable being around him. He kept our kitten entertained and happy. I would definitely recommend Lee to watch anyone’s pets and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”
“Excellent visits! Great communication, sent lots of photos and very interactive with our cats. Flexible with providing care and changing up day to day routine. Absolutely perfect pet sitting experience!”
“Robbi did absolutely amazing! She’s so sweet & my cats absolutely loved her from the moment she stepped in the door lol. In fact when i came home from my trip they acted like they didn’t know me 😂!! She sent plenty of pictures, she communicated everything with me, and she followed the list of things i provided! I definitely would book her again 10/10 💕!”
“I had a great experience with cat when I went out of town. She stayed in my house with my cat, figaro, and made sure to provide updates and pictures every day. He doesn’t really like anyone and is a very anxious boy so having someone attentive and reliable is extremely important to me. I’ll definitely be using cat in the future!”
“Rachel is the best cat sitter! She is so communicative and is able and happy to deal with my quirky cats! They can be timid with new people but they have liked Rachel from the start. I will always use and recommend Rachel!”
