“Stephanie is amazing.. my cat is my baby and I do not trust many people with him, but Stephanie assured me he was safe while gone for a week by writing long updates and sending me pictures of him. She not only took care of him, but also played with him as he is a very active cat. Going to book Stephanie every time we are on vacation!”
“Leila was a fantastic cat sitter for us. It’s difficult to leave a pet for three weeks but having Leila gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to more fully enjoy our time away. We returned to very happy and very healthy senior cat. I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future.”

Throughout our time away, we received regular updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and our cat was happy, relaxed, and well cared for.”
“If I could give 10 stars I would!!! I will absolutely ask Robyn to watch my babies again. She picked up my emergency job and was at my house in an hour at 9pm. And it was past her bedtime!!! My original pet sitter was a no call/no show and we were already out of town for a medical appointment. She did a FANTASTIC job with my cats. Normally I like to meet and talk with my pet sitters before having them come for the 1st time but this time she was able to do everything just as if I had been there and it was flawless. Actually one of the 1st times we’ve walked in our house and there’s not been anything wrong. I will without a doubt ask Robyn to come back again. But this time with significant amounts of notice … less than an hr she earns a place in my heart for stepping in when it could have been a serious situation I am just so grateful.”
