“Elaine kept me informed with great communication and pics every day! My cat was in great hands and I’m sure that she enjoyed Elaine playing with her while I was away! Thank you Elaine!!”
“Lisa was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet! She asked to do a meet and greet (at no charge) ahead of time which I really appreciated - it was great to be able to explain instructions in person. She arrived on time, sent updates and was an overall pleasure to work with. Will definitely use again!”
“Amanda was amazing! She was very prompt and communicative. She took very good care of my babies while we were gone as if they were her own, being very in tune to the medicine needs of one of them. I would fully trust Amanda to watch them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Amanda!”
“If you get the chance to book Donna consider yourself lucky! She is one of the kindest and most generous sitters we have ever come across. She watched my two cats twice now. She went above and beyond to make sure my pets were okay. There was a night I was concerned about one of the cats because we didn’t see him for a while on the cat cameras. She headed straight over to ease our concerns, even though it was it was an unplanned visit. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Nalisha was amazing and got to meet me and my dog, Henry, before doing the drop-in visits so she could get a feel for where everything was, what my Henry likes, etc., which did a lot to help me feel comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. She was accommodating of my schedule for drop-in visits and also took super cute pics of Henry. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Great experience! Drue took amazing care of Nitro and kept us updated the whole time. Nitro was happy, well cared for, and comfortable. We’d definitely book again and highly recommend them.”
“I cannot thank Angelina enough for all her help this weekend. She was communicative, timely, and trustworthy. She followed all of my instructions and I felt confident that my cat was being cared for while I was away.”
“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”
“Cheryl just so happens to be a neighbor of mine and along with her being an amazing neighbor I always feel at ease knowing that my three cats are in her care when I am away from home. My cats warmed up to her so easily and even though they're feeding requirements aren't super straightforward, she's able to handle it no problem! She has a great attitude and you can tell she really loves animals. Very grateful to have her as a sitter.”

“Rachel did an excellent job taking care of our dogs with multiple drop in visits over the Christmas holiday. She was punctual on each visit for the discussed times. She communicated with us on each visit and was very prompt with replies to any communication over the holiday. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
