5. Michelle Z.

“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”

14. Antara M.


“Antara is the absolute best!! She cared for our three Pit Bull/American Bully rescue dogs on short notice, and did such an amazing job. She responded quickly to my request, was an amazing communicator leading up to and during her stay, was flexible and worked within our schedule, sent frequent status updates that included photos and videos, and stayed longer than scheduled when our plans ran long. Our dogs are not easy - they all want attention, one weights 85lbs, and one has a broken leg. Antara made sure our injured pup did not run or jump off of furniture. She gave us peace of mind that our pets were well taken care of. She walked and fed them, played with them, gave them pets, and even washed their food bowls without being asked to do so, and left them cleaner than when she arrived. We will definitely be repeat customers, leveraging her services again.”


15. Sophia d.
“Sophia has such a loving and caring soul, especially when it comes to animals. Sophia is one of the most responsible people I know, and I would trust her to watch my pet anytime. With Sophia as a caretaker, your pet will not only be safe but will be nurtured and loved, as Sophia always goes above and beyond.”


16. Erin G.
“Erin has watched over many animals for me as well as helped others that are in need. She is incredible with animals and they all adore her. I cannot say enough but I will say that anyone should trust her with their furry friends.”


17. Alyssa T.
