“We were in San Jose for a wedding and needed dog walking and feeding for our little guy. Alyssa was great!

Definitely will hire her again when we are in town!”

“Raya was an excellent petsitter to my two cats! I was out of town for a week, and she was able to come to my apartment twice a day to feed and look after my kittens. She was incredibly responsive to messages and sent updates every day, and my gremlin children really took to her, which is not a trivial feat. She even offered to help take care of other tasks around the place, such as vacuuming. I would definitely recommend Raya for anyone who is looking for a drop-by catsitter!”
