“Norma is wonderful! She is a dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. Norma can be relied upon to take excellent care of your pets by treating them as if they were her own. Even our shyest cat trusted her and came out to get some cuddles and play. She communicated with us throughout our trip keeping us updated with comments and pictures. We would highly recommend Norma as your next pet sitter if you want the confidence of leaving your fur babies in caring and loving hands!”

7. Brittany O.

“Brittany did an amazing job making my sweet but very anxious cat at ease while I was out of town. She went above and beyond to ensure he felt as calm and safe as possible while I was gone. I’ll definitely be booking Brittany again next time I’m out of town. She’s great even when shy or anxious animals.”




8. Sam N.

“Sam is an amazing pet sitter! One of my two cats is shy but started warming up to Sam in just one visit. Sam played with them, took time to learn their little quirks and gave them individual attention. I got pictures and updates after every visit. I will certainly hire her again and again. Thank you, Sam!”


9. Alyssa B.

“This is our second time booking with Alyssa and I can honestly say she is amazing with our cats. Our cats love her so we will definitely keep booking with her for all our vacations.”


10. Hope J.

“Hope has completed drop-in visits with our 11-month cat multiple times, and we are always pleased with her services. She plays with him, feeds him, and has taken the initiative to do extra duties we didn't even ask her to do - just to go above and beyond. She is trustworthy, reliable, and punctual; and our picky cat adores her. We look forward to using Hope's services again in the future! 5 stars”


11. Anays & Francis V.

“Amazing!!! They both did a wonderful job of taking care of my fur babies. They picked up pillows that my bad fur kids knocked down and straightened a few other things. They managed to find their hiding spots and take photos of them during their check-ins. Had a few packages arrive earlier than anticipated and they were gracious enough to bring them indoors. I definitely recommend them and hope they are available when needed in the future.”


12. Marisa C.

“Marisa was awesome! She sent tons of pictures and brought my cat treats, which he absolutely loved. She honestly might be his new favorite person now!”


13. Charles M.
“Charlie did a fantastic job caring for my dogs @ my home. Charlie was responsible, attentive, and has a natural way with animals. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. I highly recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!””


14. Tommy & Julie F.
“Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!”


15. Haley P.
“I cannot say enough great things about Haley. She has been pet sitting for our family for about 7 years. She has helped us with drop in visits, walks, and overnights. She is the one I call any time we go on a family vacation, she is the only one I trust with my fur babies, especially overnight and for multiple nights! I never have to worry if they are being properly cared for. It’s an amazing feeling being able to get away and know everything is being taken care of and my pets are being treated with love. We currently have 3 large dogs, 2 of which need to maintain their own space due to dominance issues and Haley does a great job keeping them separate, while also making sure their individual needs are being met. All 3 dogs get very excited when Haley comes to visit and I know they are being cared for amazingly and loved when Haley is there! We have 2 cats and a bearded dragon that Haley helps care for when she is here too, so she has definitely mastered caring for multiple pets at a time! Haley does a fantastic job following all of my pets feeding schedules and daily routines, and most importantly, treats them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t imagine choosing anyone else, Haley will forever be my go-to pet sitter.”


16. Aimee T.
About: Hello! I'm Aimee, and I've been a pet owner since I was a teenager, taking primary care of our family pets growing up. Today, I'm a pround mama of a 4 yr old Boxer/Pitbull mix who is my pride amd joy! In the past, I've taken care of puppies, adult and senior dogs - specifically, senior dogs who require a lot of attention and patience due to medical issues. Additionally, being a behavioral analyst in my work life has allowed me to expand my training skills, which I have applied to my own pup at home. My schedule can be flexible and different every week. During the week, I'm available mostly in the mornings before 12pm - weekends can be flexible! I prefer to meet dogs with their owners present prior to beginning regular check ins - this will allow your dog to get to know me and become familiar before I introduce myself without their owners nearby.


17. Alexis T.
About: I have take care of dogs of any kind since I was little. I have pet sit for family friends and it varies for dogs and cats. I am currently working a part time job and wanted to find something to do when I am not at work. I am back home from college so I am pretty open to times! I care for the pets in my client’s house very well. I will give them my full attention while making sure they are treated appropriately.


18. Melia B.
“I’ve seen firsthand how loving and responsible Mel is with animals. She cares for our dog Lily as if she were her child—walks, playtime, meals, and endless affection. Watching her with Lily shows just how naturally nurturing and attentive she is. Any pet in her care will be treated like family.”




19. Francis R.

“Francis cared for my cats as if they were hers. She provided photos and updates to keep me in the loop of things. My cats love her, even the one that is fairly skittish. I am a repeat client and will always book with Francis.”


20. Kimberly W.

“Kimberly was great. Was going to be out of town for a week and could only get a friend to come by a couple days so wanted to make sure my four cats water was topped off and food dispensers kept working properly. Booked Kimberly for three day to drop in and just check on them, their litter and water. Even though they’re wary of new people I think it made a world of difference and she was able to see three of them and confirm they were fine, sending along pictures and a brief update. This gave me a chance to relax on my trip and not stress out. Will definitely use the service and if Kimberly is available, book her again!”
