8. Julia G.
“I highly recommend Julia Goldstein for any pet-sitting or dog-walking position. She has cared for my golden retriever multiple times, and I’ve always been impressed with her reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Julia goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Rover would be lucky to have her!”
9. Lindsay K.
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”
10. Julia L.
“Consistently amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times to take care of my floof. She is so good with my cute and anxious cat and always has great communication with me during the time she’s caring for my kitty.”
11. Jaclyn D.
“Jaclyn has been my go-to sitter for my cat for the last year. She’s incredibly reliable and I always know my cat is in great hands when she pops in to visit her. She takes great care of her, plays, cuddles, feeds her, and freshens up her water and litter box. She always provides me a great recap of her visit too! Pepper and I love Jaclyn!”
12. Samantha B.
“Sam is amazing and highly recommend her to take care of your pets! She took care of our cat while we were away and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was super nice, professional and made us feel totally comfortable that our cat was well taken care of while we were away. Thanks Sam!”
13. Katherine C.
“I have known Kate for 20+ years. Kate grew up with dogs in the house and often babysits my fur baby (goldendoodle). She is trust worthy and loves animals beyond measure. In the past 5 years, Kate took in 2 cats of her own. I highly recommend Kate to watch/walk your pets and will continue to use her when available for my dog!”
14. Kaia M.
“Kaia was amazing with my 8 month old golden retriever! She was on time, stayed for the full half hour, and took such good care of my pup! Will definitely book again!!”
15. Aurora J.
“Aurora took wonderful care of my cat Greta while I was away for 5 days. She did two visits a day. I will definitely be asking her to watch over my Greta again in the future!”
16. Khadijah M.
“She has had a love for animals since she was a young child. When I first got a dog you would have thought it was her sister rather than my pet. She cared for her as if she was a baby, would always make sure she was groomed properly, feed her, take her out for walks. She even brought her cute little dog outfits. During Covid when the groomers were closed she would come over and bathe her and when it was time lightly trim her hair so it wouldn’t be to long and wild. When my dog passed away Khadijah helped me arrange a funeral and burial for her like she was truly a member of the family. She currently has a cat that I truly believe is her son because that is how she cares for him.”
17. Samantha P.
“Sam took great care of my cat Elsa while I was away. She gave her the medicine she needed and made sure she ate. Her litter box was clean and I enjoyed the pictures of Elsa every day.”
18. Gianna S.
“Gianna has sitted for my babies multiple times. I trust her completely. She’s gone out of her way to help me with the dogs and things at my home while I was away. So glad I found her!”
19. Kris C.
“Kris takes such great care of Briggs and I feel so much relief knowing he is in her care. 10/10 recommend”
20. Samantha B.
“Samantha took great care of our kitty! The kids were so glad to get updates from each visit and we felt so grateful to have her looking after our little old man.”
