9. Janeth D.
“I had to search for a last minute companion for my daughter's dog and Yani just happened to be available. I cannot express how blessed I feel that I chose Yani. She definitely is beyond a blessing to my daughter's dog Bowser and we both feel so grateful for the love and care that she has shown him. I will continue to use Yani for any services, and I even booked her for my own dog. Incredible is an understatement, she is by far one of the best dog lovers I have met on here ❤”
10. James D.
“James was great. He was able to come on short notice, did a “get acquainted” visit, and everything went well. I’d ask him back when future needs arise.”
11. Zulema D.
“When Zulema goes on vacation, she creates a detailed hourly itinerary and provides it in a PDF format that can be emailed to your preference. She also sets up surveillance to monitor her cat and takes time during her vacation to check in, say hello, and ensure everything is okay. Zulema stays in constant communication, calling, texting, and requesting updates and pictures of her cat. She knows her pet’s favorite foods, dislikes, and even subtle behaviors, showing just how deeply attentive and devoted she is. Her dedication to her cat is a testament to the exceptional care she would provide for any pet.”
12. Brittney T.
“Brittney came to watch our kitty while we were gone for a long weekend. I loved all the pictures, videos, and update cards. I felt like Bix was in good hands! Thank you Brittney!”
13. Magdelena O.
“Magdelena has been an absolute blessing for our family. She took care of our three dogs and four cats while we were on vacation, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. It’s not easy to find someone who can handle a household with so many pets, but Magdelena did so with care, patience, and professionalism. She kept us updated during our trip, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for animals. Since then, she’s continued doing regular drop-ins, and every time she arrives, our pets are genuinely excited to see her. It’s clear they trust and love her, which gives us incredible peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Magdelena to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Erin went above other sitters to make sure they were well fed and given much attention!”
19. Taylor Z.
“I had her look after my cat Suki for a couple of hours while I got called back to work and she was amazing! She paid close attention to Suki’s feeding routine she’s on a diet, played with her and made her feel not so lonely while I was away! She kept me updated on her and was overall a wonderful person to talk to. Taylor did a fantastic job, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but her to look after your pets!”
