1. James B.
“James is so great!! Our cat and home were well taken care of- he spent a lot of time at home, and was even happy to book during the holidays. Our cat can be pretty distrusting of new people, and he took the time to get to know her and win her over. He kept up with her routines and checked in with us at least daily.”
2. Sloan K.
“Sloan was the BEST sitter for our dog, Nyla. We were sent lots of pictures and updates. She also took the time to give her multiple walks and play with her outside. Our pup was so well taken care of and happy throughout Sloan’s stay. We definitely will be asking her to watch our dog again!”
