“Rebecca was fantastic! Every day she sent little stories about how our cats were doing, what they were up to, etc. She also sent _plenty_ of pictures! When we were on a trip one of the daily highlights was seeing the updates from Rebecca. :)”
“Lavinia was incredible with our cats, Zeno and Rice! She was so attentive to their needs and checked in when she had any questions about them or the house. She was also very, very responsive whenever I needed to check in about something or a change in our plans. Would recommend Lavinia 10/10!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat Tommy. She kept in close communication and updated us each day with a cute photo. We’ll definitely use her services again.”
“Tina is Wonderful! Had my very shy senior cat out of hiding and playing with her by 2nd visit- no small feat. She took excellent care of my little guy. Highly recommend.”
“Emalee was amazing. She took such good care of my kitty and was so sweet to her. She sent lots of pictures of her playing with my cat and giving her treats. She was excellent with communication. I would absolutely book visits with Emalee again!”
“Caroline is amazing as always! We were gone for a whole week and Caroline dropped in on our cats, gave insulin, scooped litter, and kept us updated. Thank you so much as always!!”
“Priya was fantastic with our pup—very conscientious of his needs, and willing to go above & beyond to make sure he, our home & our yard were well taken care of while we were gone. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“this is our second time booking with Veronica and we couldn’t be any happier. we always can trust Veronica with our doggos! we love the updates and Rover card reports when we are gone, it feels as if we never left. Thank you again for watching Stella & Freedie 🙂”
“My diabetic cat with urinary problems was required to take 2 types of medicine, daily. My left paralysis handicap made that impossible for me to do. Ona eased my panic. She was on time, daily and gave him both medicines as professionally as a vet would do, and encouraged him as only an animal lover knows how to do. He loved her. Ona is a kind, personable person. I would trust giving her a key for the vacation, I’m going to go on, shortly. She ”checks off all the boxes”, of someone you’d want to take care of your pets. Thank you, Ona!!!”
“Isabella was very sweet with my two cats I adopted from a shelter (can be very idiosyncratic) . She met each one at their level of social need. During my absence my robolitter was not behaving, however, Isabella insured the litter box remained fresh for my cats so I didn't find any surprises upon my return! I will definitely book her services again!”
“Melissa took excellent care of our two cats! She had excellent communication during booking and while we were away. We are very thankful that she was available and would absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Suzanne was a great communicator and reliable! I appreciated the pictures and videos and most importantly felt that my animals were being well taken care of! Would use again!”
“If you’re looking for peace of mind with your fur babies then look no further. Steffen went above and beyond for my two senior pups while I was out of town. Not only was he great with them, his communication with me was also on point. He genuinely cares and really sets the bar high for other sitters. Thank you again”
