Dylan is a fantasy Cat Daddy! He met us over FaceTime and we immediately felt comfortable. My cat has major “cattitude” and he dealt with the swipes and the chomps like a Champ. He sent lots of pictures and checked in with every visit. Lots of pictures and commuywhile we were gone on a long trip! Thanks so much Dylan. Will definitely use his services again!

Shylynn did a great job taking care of my cats! My cats are very shy and good at hiding, so I was impressed that she was able to get pictures of them every day.

Hannah went WAY above my expectations. My cat got skunked and she got some special shampoo and washed him carefully and took such excellent care of him! I couldn’t ask for better! I would highly recommend her to sit your pet.

Jade has watched my dog Kali from the time I got her at 8 weeks old. I was a first time dog owner. Jade helped train her, watched her when I wasn’t able to as well as potty training. Kali loves her so much that I never feel guilty when I have to leave her. She doesn’t skimp on walks!! Kali always comes home happy and tired. I can’t say enough about this respectful, responsible and caring young woman.

I have known Erin as a pet owner for over 10 years. She is caring and attentive to her animal. She ensures the animal is safe and entertained. I have been walking my dog with her for almost 5 years and she manages both dogs well and is good at anticipating when caution is needed and creating extra opportunity for dog to frolic and explore. My dog loves her and she loves being with her.

anton watched my cat over the summer and loved nothing more than to do so. He updated me on how he was doing always and sent me pictures when he could. The love and patience Anton has for animals is like nothing I have ever seen from anyone else. I would trust him with any pet in a heartbeat!

Sara has been looking over my two cats for years. She's been especially helpful when we go on trips and need her to clean their litter boxes or feed them. My cat Gromet probably wouldn't be here without her because on one of our vacations he ate a piece of floss and if she hadn't tugged it out he might have choked. Sara has been a blessing to our little cat family I'm very grateful to be able to reccomend her as a pet sitter.

I have known Sydney for roughly 3 years now. Since the day I met Syd I noticed the big heart she has. She’s always caring and taking the extra step for the people she loves and especially her furry friends. Days when we’re running errands and an animal comes into contact she immediately is eager to see the furry friend. Syd is one of the few people I met that has a genuine connection and admiration for all types of animals and can guarantee your furry child is in good hands.

Suji was so sweet with our dogs. They can be a tad anxious and she dealt with that beautifully. Her care of Ginny and our guest dog Bentley was enhanced by her prompt and effective communication. Suji is clearly a dedicated professional who loves animals.
