“Paula cared for my two cats while I was away for six nights. She was super responsible and flexible and sent many reassuring photos to let me know they were doing OK while I was traveling. :) Paula is so easy to communicate and I really appreciated her help! Definitely would hire again next time we're out of town.”
“2nd time Ingrid has taken care of our sweet boy and done such a good job being attentive to him, communicative and flexible. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thanks again.”
“Andrew was the best cat sitter! We’re always a little nervous going out of town leaving our elderly cat at home. Andrew is a great communicator, and we felt our cat was in good hands. We would not hesitate to rebook with Andrew the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Michelle was so friendly and came to meet my kitten ahead of time. She was very accommodating with the schedule and willing to help out. Our plans ended up changing and my work schedule has been adjusted so I don’t need help anymore, but I would highly recommend hiring this person”
“Amanda did a fantastic job watching our 2 cats. One of our cats is shy and also diabetic so it can be a challenge to find someone who take care of her. Amanda was so careful and gentle with her - which helped our shy cat cooperate with injections and be completely at ease with Amanda. She is a cat whisperer and we are so thankful for her wonderful care of our cats!”
“There’s no doubt at all that I will be returning to Zach for future sitting services for my cat! He did a really great job of taking care of everything we asked, and then went above and beyond expectations. He gave us such thorough updates and sending pictures and videos. He is clearly a very thoughtful, caring person. This was especially highlighted with how he picked up on our biggest concerns for our cat and made sure to put our minds at ease through these updates and pictures. My cat really loved Zach pretty much immediately and I look forward to reaching out to him again. Thank you so much for absolutely everything, Zach! We are more than grateful!”
“Thank you, Rosy! I didn’t know if I’d be able to find anyone other than a family member that I could trust with my cat that has some major health issues, but thank goodness I found Rosy! She literally kept my cat alive by making sure she had enough fluids throughout the day for several days by consistently replenishing her wet food and adding water. She was also able to administer medication to my cat with confidence, and my cat is not open to people giving her meds! Rosy also helped with our dog, which ended up being way more a handful than I realized. He had an upset stomach and d diarrhea all over the place in the house and Rosy cleaned up everything. She also kept me abreast of everything happening and stayed up really late with my dog to let him out to go to the bathroom when he was sick.”
“James was incredible! So attentive to the cats and communicative with me. Went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable leaving the country for ten days. I will definitely book James in the future!”
“Melina was great! She took very good care of our cat while we were out of town. She sent photos and updates after every visit, which was appreciated! I would highly recommend her!😊”
“Kristina was great with my cats, super caring and responsible! She was very understanding and good at her job! I would definitely choose her next time I need a sitter.”
“Dan was an ideal sitter — considerate, communicative, responsible, clean, responsive. What a nice person too. I cannot recommend him highly enough. We left our two cats and our home in his care for two weeks. We never had a moment’s unease, as Dan communicated with us regularly. We returned to find all in perfect order with thoughtful touches that welcomed us home.”
