9. Caroline P.

“I am so grateful for Caroline’s exceptional care of my cat during the days I was away for a second time since my last bookings! She went above and beyond to ensure he was well-fed, happy, and comfortable. Not only did she make sure he took his pills without a hitch, but she also spent quality time playing with him, which I really appreciated. Her communication was fantastic, and I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a responsible and loving sitter. Thank you, Caroline!”

11. Daniel E.

“I am so grateful that we found Daniel to take care of our chickens when we were gone for 10 days on vacation! He was excellent at being in touch, communicating about various things, and paying attention to details when taking care of our pets. We needed to make a few last-minute changes to our schedule and Daniel quickly redid the booking for us multiple times. It was a pleasure working with him and we will definitely be thinking of him for our next vacation!”

“Karen is fantastic! She sends the sweetest pictures and is super thorough with her care of your pet. Would highly recommend and plan on reaching out to her in the future :)”


15. Morgan A.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so grateful to have found Morgan! She took care of our whole kitty crew with incredible attentiveness, warmth, and good humor. From the moment we connected, she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with — even asking thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure they had all the details right. Throughout the week, we received daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little stories about our cats’ personalities (even shy Chanchita came out of her shell!). She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly, including medication, litter box care, and keeping an eye out for mischievous Mr. Bingley’s adventures. When we accidentally left out a knife and panicked, they calmly reassured us it was already handled. She even took care of little extras like bringing in a Chewy delivery and making sure the finicky keypad didn’t slow them down. We came home to happy, well-fed, calm cats — who honestly seemed a little bummed their new best friends weren’t still around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to care for your furry family!”


16. Steffen S.

“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”


17. Raquel L.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, ranging from chihuahua to boxer, as well as cats, chickens, and cows! I currently have a Long Haired Chihuahua/Yorkie mix named Peanut and a Staffie/Corgi mix named Pepper. I am super loving when it comes to pets and will give them all the attention they want! I have experience with very nervous pets and energetic pets. Also, I'm very adaptable, meaning if your pets have high energy, I can guarantee their needs are met. I'll make sure they get all the love they need and most importantly, to see those tails waggin! I will do my best to fit your needs into my schedule despite my full time job, and I’m willing to work on holidays. Drop in visits I will play with them and ensure they have plenty of attention! General walk, I will be carrying a collapsable bowl and water to keep them hydrated and give them tons of pets during the walk. Your pets will be treated the same way I take care of my pets, getting all the attention, food and water, and daily exercise. For the client's house, I'll make sure I ask any questions to make sure your pets are well and happy.


18. Jacqueline C.

“Jacqueline was great with our little Cricket (the cat), who clearly loved her. She was flexible and reliable, and we'll definitely be hiring her again.”


19. Crystle S.

“Crystle was excellent! So attentive to detail, asked questions as to anything she was unsure about, followed directions, was so wonderful with my dog, respectful of my apartment, extremely communicative with me, met with me and my dog before the booking began, was patient with me when I realized I had possibly accidentally booked for two more visits than needed..she was everything I could have asked for in a drop-in sitter! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


20. Sydnee C.
“Sydnee is kind, reliable, considerate, trustworthy and respectful. Most importantly she has a deep and obvious love for animals. While interacting with our dog and 2 cats, I could immediately that tell she had a unique passion and empathy that makes her an ideal sitter for our fur babies. They have grown a special bond with her since then, and Sydnee now feels like family and our animals ADORE her. I couldn't imagine asking for anything more for my babies who are so important to me, and I HIGHLY recommend her services for anyone that wants only the absolute best for their furry family members. You will not regret your decision.”
