“Lila was super responsive and dependable while watching our two cats for a long weekend! Even though our shy kitties didn’t give her much face time, she made sure to stay 30 mins to let them adjust to her presence. Her daily reports were very detailed and gave us peace of mind during our time away. We’d love to rebook Lila in the future and would definitely recommend her to any pet parent ?”
“Jonathan took great care of our two cats! We were never worried while we were away and they got tons of love. We highly recommend Jonathan and plan on rebooking in the future!”
“Holland was amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with my dogs. I loved getting updates and photos after each visit—it gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy and well cared for, and I’ve already rebooked with her. Highly recommend!”
“As always, Jeffrey knocked it out of the park. We always feel so comfortable and confident heading out of town knowing that our babies (and house) will be perfectly cared for. He really goes the extra mile for the pups and with general tasks around the house and we really appreciate it. Communication of all events, big or small, is quick and clear. I’ll recommend him forever to anyone!!”
“Danielle did a great job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town. One of them needs medication daily and she administered it with no issues at all. She sent photos regularly and we returned to happy cats. Would definitely recommend Danielle!”
“We reached out to Jessica, because she seemed like a fit for our elderly dog with high medical needs. She was warm, accommodating, and she would have been the perfect fit had our dog not passed away before she could begin providing him care. She had not previously injected a dog, but she was a trooper - coming over for a visit, and gave Ricky insulin with ease. I also felt safe giving her a key to my home. I have already told my best friend (who has three dogs) about her, and while we are heartbroken by the circumstances, we remain hopeful we will encounter her through our dog loving friends who consistently need the kind of support I am confident she provides. Thank you again, Jessica.”
“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”
“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!”
“Elizabeth is so great with my dog! She is very responsive, friendly, and I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future :)”
“Katherine always does a fabulous job with my cat. I don't have to worry about a thing when she's looking after him while i'm away!! I so appreciate Katherine's professionalism and care for my beloved pet :)”
“I don’t want to write this because she will become too popular ❤️❤️Erica is amazing with my Remy!! He loves her so much! She is always communicating with all things! She does tasks without me even asking!! Love her!! She even bought him a new toy!! 💕. Best check-in sitter ever!”
“Abigail is awesome I was very at peace knowing she was checking on my kitties while I’m gone. She sent me lots of photos and let me know how they were doing, I would definitely book her again ☺️”
“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!”

Maggie took such great care of my kittens while I was away! The transparent communication--pictures, updates, videos, etc. was FABULOUS! They were in great hands with her! AND I would very much recommend to anyone in the area looking for the same level of care!
Grace is absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough. She was able to help us out on such short notice on a holiday weekend and she took phenomenal care of our girl. Our dog is a little high maintenance and she’s our entire world and Grace was so communicative so thoughtful, so caring and took such great care of her with tons of pictures to boo! Will definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Grace!
Erica was punctual, professional, and took great photos of my kitties snacking and playing. They were very calm and relaxed when I came home which tells me they were comfortable with her and had all their needs met. 10 out of 10 toe beans, I will happily book Erica again in the future!
Absolutely amazing! My dog is not always good with strangers but she loved them immediately. They were so great with her. They responded to messages quickly and listened to any pet requests. It was a 20/10 experience. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone who needs their pet watched or walked. They’re amazing people!
