1. Christine H.

“Christine was my kitty's sitter for about 2 years,we would contact her for every visit we needed. Reliable, super responsive, and absolutely won over our shy kitty. We would recommend her to all friends and family if they had kitties and were in need of a trustworthy person to leave the care of their fur babies to. Feel confident in your choice if you choose her. Thank you Christine for always giving us that piece of mind. 🙏🏼❤️”

“Ruby has cat sit for me and took my dog on walks many times at this point. She is always reliable and I can just tell that she loves animals. She treats them as if they were her own and my pets love seeing her as well. Highly recommended!!”


4. Jonathan G.
“Jonathan is always great with my dogs. He is on time and always happy to see them. I know I can count on him to give my dogs the care they need.”


5. Richard U.
“I've known Richard for many years, and one thing that's always stood out is his love for animals. He has long-time experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. For over a decade, he raised a dog and a cat together in the same household—no small feat!—and also lovingly cared for two guinea pigs during that time. Currently, he shares his home with two adorable cats. Richard is incredibly patient and observant. He has a soft heart and a natural ability to connect with animals, always taking the time to understand their personalities, needs, and moods. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship, Richard creates a safe and loving environment for pets. I trust him completely with my own pets, and I have no doubt that he’ll treat every dog or cat he cares for like family. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him!”


6. CHIA CHI P.
“Amy was amazing with our two cats while we were away! She sent daily updates and photos, and we came home to two very happy and relaxed kitties. One of our cats is usually shy around new people, but she warmed up to Amy right away. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Jeffery is a great cat sitter! Our cat loves him. Our cat used to behave skittishly if we leave her alone for several days while traveling. Jeffrey has helped us twice so far. Each time our cat appears to be happy and healthy when we return. Thank you Jeffery!”


10. Elizabeth B.

“Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for our cat! She fit the sitting into her schedule on late notice and made the time to come over beforehand and meet our cat and see where everything was in our house. Elizabeth was very kind and I felt totally confident that she was going to do a great job. She sent lots of pictures from her visits while we were away and my cat looked very happy to have her company. It was a totally positive experience and I would definitely love to use Elizabeth again in the future!”

13. Emily C.

“We absolutely loved the update and care Emily gave our baby cat! 🐾 She was super attentive—fed Morgie right away, made sure (our another cat) didn’t sneak in for extra food, and even encouraged Morgie to use the litter box before leaving (which she did!). We appreciated the detailed notes, the playtime, and the love she gave our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter! 💛”


14. Caroline B.

“Caroline did an excellent job watching my cat Tama while I was away for a week in Korea. She updated me everyday with photos and a short summary of each visit. I felt very at ease knowing Tama was in good hands. Caroline cleaned the litterbox daily, and gave fresh water and wet food to Tama as instructed. She also brushed and played with Tama after each meal. I came home to a very happy cat and would hire Caroline again in the future!”
