1. Anastasiia & Vadim N.
“Great experience! It was our first time requesting their service for our elderly dog and cat as our normal pet sitter was unavailable. It was very apparent how much they cared about the pets and would put in extra effort to make them feel safe and comfortable. Our dog was having a rough couple days and Vadim was so patient and caring during every visit. Thank you so much for doing such a great job and making us feel like our pets were in good hands while we were away!”
2. Jennifer W.
“Jennifer has been great with my cat Tito!! He is normally shy to new people and it took him no time to warm up to her. She always makes sure to update me with photos and videos each visit!”
3. Lucy B.
“Lucy was amazing with our 3 cats! She went above and beyond to make sure they were played with for a week, went out of her way to buy new litter and keep the box clean, take pics of the kitties, and send cute pictures and notes every day. She even fed my fish! We came home to a sweet note and 3 pictures of our cats. I know they loved her and I couldn't think of a better person to leave your furry friends with. Lucy is awesome, trustworthy, and an overall cool person, we will definitely rebook 😊”
