Jennifer took such good care of my kitty while I was away on a long trip. She made sure to send pictures every day, provide lots of cuddles and give me peace of mind that my cat was well taken care of. 15/10!!

Sophie was so great with my 8yo cat Herbie — he is so incredibly social and thrives with company so it’s always hard to leave him, but Sophie put me at such an ease. She sent the sweetest photo updates everyday and I could see how loved my cat felt and how well he was taken care of :) Will definitely rebook and highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter!

Krysta was a huge help while I was away for the holidays! She came to check in on Luna, our very shy cat. Luna warmed up to her quickly! Krysta was super attentive and sent photos and videos of Luna each day so we knew she was doing well! Thank you Krysta!

David has been awesome with Roxi! He is great at communicating if he's running late, when he is grouping her together with other dogs, and clarifying if something looks odd in the schedule. He has been really accommodating with last minute changes, and making sure he prioritizes her safety.

Brooke is an amazing person who is great with animals. My dog normally hates when people other than me take him for a walk. Imagine my surprise when my little puppy Max ran up to her the first time they met. The most responsible pet caregiver I have ever hired.

Lauren cares for her pets more than anything, and they love her back!!! She turned her near-feral skittish cat into a cuddler over the past few years and grew up playing with a dog twice her size. Animals are always in good hands with Lauren, she truly wouldn't kill a fly

Andy was great! Verynice and easy to work with. My cats liked him too. He was very reliable and was even able to give my diabetic cat his insulin, which hardly anybody has been able to do. (The cat is very feisty.) Everything was in great shape when I came home, and my kitties were healthy and happy. Thanks, Andy!

I’ve Richelle for about twenty years. Watching her grow into an amazing and caring adult gives me confidence to write this testimonial. Her love and compassion for animals makes her a natural pet handler. I would put her in the catagory of “ cat whisperer”. She will give her time and patience to get to know your pet and will show love towards your little lovey.

Jackey is a wonderful dog and house/apartment sitter. She's thoughtful and communicative. She took great care of my elderly dog for a week while I was traveling and sent great photos and gave regular updates. She even bought food to cook for him when he was being picky. She's very trustworthy. Highly recommend.

I have known Aisling and her family for close to ten years. Aisling worked for my family as a babysitter, as well as a pet sitter for our two cats. She is caring, compassionate and responsible. I would not hesitate to recommend Aisling. My only regret is that she does not live close enough for us to continue using her as a sitter to our cats. They adore her!

Jeremy has been a loving dog owner for the last 15 or so years. He had three wonderful dogs over that time frame, the last of whom recently passed away. He loves taking dogs on long walks and ensuring they get the exercise and attention they deserve. I wholeheartedly recommend him for this role!

Teresa is an incredibly caring pet owner having raised cats her entire life and goes above and beyond in making sure that her animals are happy and healthy. She is also always a dependable sitter whenever I need help with my dog Toby - whether it’s a quick check in to walk and feed him or more of a longer watch, I always feel at ease leaving Toby in Teresa’s care.

Alan is an amazing guy! He and I often hang out with dogs together, and he is wonderful with our pup Lola. He is greatly adored by the pups we hang with - so much so, they run to him in passing, often pulling their paw-rents in tow. Alan is a fun-loving and responsible dog-friend, and would do wonderfully with all of your pets. Highly recommend his services!!

Samantha has done a great job of caring for my dog. My dog is such a sweet girl, but she can be reactive with other dogs, and potential anxious with change, new spaces, or things like big trucks, so moving to the city was quite hard for her. Samantha has done an excellent job of making sure our girl feels safe, gets lots of love, and gets to explore the city in a secure way. I am so grateful to have her to rely on when we go on vacation, so I know that my pup is okay. She is also wonderful at providing pictures/videos and updates during her stay, so I'm never left wondering if things are okay. She has even given our girl her meds when she has needed antibiotics. Would highly recommend Sam!

Nelly is a dog lover! She just loves and cares for them. Whenever we are walking down the street she has to stop and admire the dogs in our surrounding neighborhood. Growing up we also had a dog, Angel, and she used to love and care for him. She truly does an amazing job at making sure dogs are truly happy. She even volunteered at the MSPCA and got a lot of dogs adopted because she just wants these loving dogs to have a home and all the love they need. Recently, she volunteered to foster two puppies that were rescued from a porch in Georgia. It was short, but she made sure that they were happy and got all of the love they needed. She was emotional when the dogs were adopted because she was both happy and sad because they got adopted, but she couldn't spend anymore time with them. I would really recommend her to anyone.
