“Penny has been great with Bodo! We’re moving out of state and will miss her care so much. She always communicates well and sends great updates and pictures. Bodo will miss you, Penny 🐾”
“Ed is an excellent sitter! I can’t fully put into words how grateful I am to Ed for being so responsive, and taking such good care of my kitty. As a first-time pet owner, I was very anxious to leave my cat for a 9-day trip but seeing Ed take care of her really helped ease my anxiety. He provided wonderful updates with pictures, and he was also very flexible with my requests. I cannot recommend him enough!”
“Maura was great with our anxious pup Rosie! We appreciated her willingness to do a meet and greet before hand and her flexibility with her time. Will absolutely have Maura come again!”
“Charlie can be an extra handful being the tiny grumpy old man that he is but Caroline handled him with ease. He really liked her and she sent fantastic updates and pictures and I would trust her with him anytime.”
“Rhiana was wonderful! So responsive and reliable. She took care of my cat for a week while I was away and Rumour was very content. I got lots of pictures and updates and Rumour’s care was superb. Definitely recommend!”
“Danielle was fantastic with my shy older kitty! This was the first time I'd left her at home for more than one night, and I was nervous about how she'd react. Even though she usually hides from strangers, my cat was coming out and greeting Danielle at every visit, and she was perfectly happy when I got home. I would absolutely book with Danielle again!”
“Bailey did a great job with our boys! She arrived on time and spent time loving on our boys. We even added a last minute request to bring in some mail that needed to be refrigerated. Great experience. Will definitely recommend and have her come back anytime”
“Josephine is excellent, very reliable and caring. She sent me detailed reports and photos every day, so I could relax knowing my dog and cat were in good hands while I was away.”
“Margaret was great with our dog Ace! She made sure he had plenty of fun/ play time in addition to feeding/regular care for him while we were gone. She was open to schedule changes as needed. Would recommend!”
“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”
“I came home to two happy contented pets (dog and cat). Carolyn took great pictures and reassured me that they were well cared for while I was away for a couple of days. I am seriously immunocompromised so I particularly appreciated her willingness to be Covid cautious while she was in my home. I will definitely hire her again.”
“I needed someone to check in on my cats every few days while I was away on a long trip. Samantha was so kind and did exactly that. She even stopped by beforehand to meet everyone and get a tour. I also loved the photos she shared with me from her visits, they were wonderful and very reassuring that everyone was doing okay.”
“Doris did an amazing job taking care of our two cats. We were away for 10 days, and it felt very comforting knowing they were in good hands. In addition to visiting our cats twice a day- over Christmas and New Year's, no less - Doris sent us photos with each visit. One of our cats (Turtle) is a rescue with quite a bit of fear, and it is clear that Doris took the time to give her the special attention she needed. Our other cat, Claudia, is very social and loves human attention. When we came home, both cats were sweet as can be, and that only comes from being very well-cared for. We will definitely choose Doris again to care for our fur-babies - THANK YOU, DORIS!”
“Kirtly was absolutely fabulous with letting our puppy ember out! Ember got all her energy out and was so happy when I got home every day. Will definitely use again!!”
“Claire was great with our cats! She was easy to communicate with, friendly, and responsible with our space. She even went above and beyond trying to find a missing cat cone. Definitely recommend!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my cats! Alexa went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I returned to two very content kitties. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“Mitch was very communicative and on point with drop in visits for my cat Comet. She can take some time to acclimate to new people and she warmed up to him pretty quickly! Would happily book with Mitch again.”

Danielle was fantastic with my shy older kitty! This was the first time I'd left her at home for more than one night, and I was nervous about how she'd react. Even though she usually hides from strangers, my cat was coming out and greeting Danielle at every visit, and she was perfectly happy when I got home. I would absolutely book with Danielle again!
Samantha was great! She was very attentive to our three cats on her daily visit - even got to pet our severely shy one, Harriett. Her daily pictures and comments were a great comfort to us while we were away. I would definitely recommend her, and we will use her again for some of our upcoming trips!
Dávila was wonderful with our cat Rosie while we were away on a month-long road trip. She checked in every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and always left detailed updates with photos that made us feel so reassured. Rosie was clearly well cared for and comfortable in her hands. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave and will absolutely book with her again in the future!
