“Jessica was communicative and friendly! I have one scaredy cat with special needs, & she handled him wonderfully. Both of my kitties were happy and well-taken care of while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was watching my pets helped me feel comfortable & relaxed. Will certainly book again!”


2. Sun S.


“Sun is an incredible dog sitter!! So sweet and caring and really attends to all the details. She provided such great field notes about each visit as well as cute pics - it was so reassuring to know how things were going in detail while we were away from our sweet pup. From start to finish the experience with Sun was top notch and I could not recommend her more highly as a compassionate, trustworthy and professional pet sitter!”

I would be delighted to work with Becky again.”

I highly recommend him!”

16. Fuliang X.
“Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.”


17. Mish M.
“My dog loves Mish! I know that Mish treats her as it if she was their own and she's always so happy to spend time with them. My mind is at ease knowing my pup is getting plenty of play time, naps, and cuddles when I'm away and grateful Mish sends plenty of pictures and updates when I'm gone on trips so I know my little girl is having plenty of good times too! Mish is very thorough with care instructions and will make sure your dog sticks to their routines, diet, and medicine when needed. We are so grateful to have found them and couldn't have asked for a better buddy for our doggo!”
