2. Matt G.
“Overly protective cat dad here. Matt has cat sat for me at least a dozen times. I travel for work, so it is imperative I have someone trustworthy and professional watching my home, and more importantly Oliver! Would highly recommend him for all your pet needs!”


3. Gabriela C.
“Gabriela has taken care of my cat previously. She has been very good at taking care of her and including my cat into her hobbies to keep her entertained. I love how gentle she is with my cat but also stern when she needs to keep her off the table. She is someone I would trust my cat with and not feel like I have to constantly be worrying about them. I trust her fully with my cat.”

“Michelle is very responsible and a proven star pet mom of three wonderful kitties. I have known her for several years and she is one of the most responsible people I know. She pays tenacious attention to detail and is ever aware of everything going on around her. She'd make a great pet sitter.”


5. Alessandra C.

“Alessandra looked after our two cats over a long weekend. I found her to be very communicative over rover and kept me upto date on their feeding schedule, packages and gave a lot of playtime to both of them. I found the house and litter to be very clean, and coordinating key exchange and drop off was a breeze. Thank you for taking care of Frodo and Sybil. They look forward to your next visit.”


6. Rita P.

“Rita is fantastic! I desperately needed a sitter and despite only giving her a 4 days heads up, she accepted the request without hesitation. I greatly appreciated the updates and many photos and videos. It helped reassure me that my girls were in good care while away. I would definitely book again. 🩷🐾”

“I am delighted to recommend Jerrica as an exceptional dog sitter. We have used her services multiple times, and she consistently exceeded our expectations. Jerrica is extremely responsible and took wonderful care of our dog, always ensuring that he was well-fed, exercised, and loved. Our dog was always happy and content under her care, and Jerrica’s attention to detail and dedication made us feel confident that he was in the best hands. She also communicated regularly with us, providing updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. If you are looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Jerrica. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

She is very professional, came on time and left detailed message after each visit, along with photos. Got all my cat’s things refreshed before I got home from a long trip so I didn’t have to worry about it that night. Highly recommend her!”

Claire is experienced with all aspects of pet care including feeding and exercising. And she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and getting to know them. I assure you that she’ll take great care of your canine family member.”


12. Harsimran K.
“My dog, Milo, usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he adored her from day one. She’s reliable, kind, and genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. I loved getting little updates and photos from their walks — it was clear he was having a blast. I felt completely at ease knowing Milo was in such good hands.”


13. Yasamin G.
About: I raised my chocolate lab who is now 5yo, took care of walks baths meals and hugs!! miss him because he's at home with my mom while i’m at school so let me care for your pup!! I have an open schedule this summer, I am taking one summer course but this will not interfere with my work schedule. When the school year begins this may change, but I am pretty flexible. I pay most of my attention to my dog when I am at home and I make sure he doesn’t put anything in his mouth or is left unattended for too long being that he is a chocolate lab and they eat everything!!

“I have known Juliana since she was born. My boys and Juliana and her brother and sister grew up together. Juliana has always been such a smart, responsible, kind girl from such a young age. She has walked our dog, stayed at our home with our dog when we went out of town, and has even worked part time for me during the summers. She is one of the few people that I completely trust other than my family. Whoever is lucky enough to hire Juliana will just love her! I can't say enough good things about her!”
