“This was my second time using Thane and, as expected, they were great! They gave my kitty Rat all the snuggles he requires and had no problem with his medication. Their updates each visit were thorough. I was a bit disorganized while planning this time away and they were very understanding. I’m so glad to have found them!”
“Lila always does a great job with our crotchety elderly cat and follows all our directions for his crotchety food preferences perfectly! She also sends lots of photos and detailed updates.”

Danielle was great at sending us pictures of our cat as well as updating us on her overall health. Would absolutely book with Danielle again and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!”

“Kristen was the best catsitter I could have asked for while I was out of state for Christmas!! My Imogene stayed with her and her pets and quickly made friends with them.

Kristen will treat your pet like family!!”

“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”

Thank you Katherine!”

Lydia was amazing with my kitten! She communicated really well throughout, sent plenty of pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My kitten was clearly very happy and well cared for. She did an incredible job, and I would absolutely book with her again.
Iris was an absolutely wonderful sitter. She is incredibly sweet and kind, very communicative, and consistently kept me updated. She followed all of my instructions thoroughly and thoughtfully, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my two cats and treated them with so much attention and care. Iris is diligent, responsible, and truly goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
This was our first time using Cole as our dog walker, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was kind, reliable, and took wonderful care of our doggos. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.
Daniel was super helpful over the holidays when our travel plans changed last minute and we couldn't take our cat with us. He checked in on her each day and was super accommodating to her needs and our limited preparation for his visits. We know our cat Eve felt comfortable being home on her own with daily visits from Daniel!
Melanie was amazing with my kitten while I was out of town for a few days! This was my first time ever using Rover so I had a lot of questions and Melanie was super patient, flexible, and responsive! She took great photos of my kitty and I could just tell my pet was being taken care of properly!
