“Kathy was fantastic! I had her in twice a day for my two cats and she was super communicative, sent me tons of photos of my “kids” and even managed to coax my super-shy boy who’s scared of everyone who isn’t me into letting her rub his belly within a couple of days! She got them comfortable enough with her to play with her, too. Given that they were Covid kittens, so not well socialized to other people, I was very impressed. I’d absolutely rebook her whenever she’s available.”
“I recently had Kaitlyn take care of my cat, Tekkila, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Tekkila was clearly well looked after—happy and relaxed. Communication was great throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! Purr-fect! Pet approved 🐾”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat, Chong! Rachel sent us a detailed update after each visit, along with pictures. She also brought in an Amazon package that was delivered in our absence, which I had not asked her to do. We appreciate the extra initiative! Thank you Rachel! Dave and Pat”
“Alex was a great help! She was accommodating to meet us ahead of our reservation for a meet and greet. She took pictures during her visits with our cat, and updated us as necessary. So appreciative!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Grace! She took wonderful care of our dog Tilly while we were away for our engagement party. From the start, Grace was incredibly responsive and made sure she understood everything she needed to know about Tilly’s care. She checked in on her three times throughout the day and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos during each visit, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Tilly was comfortable and happy in her care. We’re so grateful for Grace’s reliability and attentiveness—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter!”
“Sarah & Amy are great! They helped watch my cats, one of whom needs a daily pill but is extremely difficult and dramatic about it. And yet they were willing to do what it took to make sure he got it! They were communicative and helpful, and even managed to ger my other cat (who is very shy) to come out of her shell by the end for some pets! Definitely would rebook.”
“Justina was nothing short of exceptional with our babies! As a girl in her late 20s with older parents who were a bit on the fence using Rover, Justina came into the house with care and compassion and gave that same attitude with my girlies. She kept me in the loop with everything going on and made sure they were 100% taken care of while we were all out of town. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Diane is the best! Very personable and flexible - she helped us with a last minute medicine issue with our cats and she went the extra mile with keeping things cleaned and the fur babies happy!”

Amy T.
“Amy is a coworker of mine and I can tell you first hand she’s incredibly smart, thoughtful, and super reliable. She is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. On several occasions while we were on vacation she has dog sat for us and I can proudly say I will never let anyone but her do it going forward. She was the best house guest and the absolute best dog sitter I could possibly imagine. She was incredibly attentive to all my puppy’s needs.. 2 walks a day, his complicated diet, and even sent pictures of them snuggling and often gave us updates of their days together. I VERY HIGHLY recommend her for any and all pet sitting needs. She has even pet sat for several of my friends and coworkers as well!!”
