1. Cassandra P.


“Cassandra was wonderful with Russell and sent lots of pictures of my kitty looking happy with lots of pets! This is the happiest he’s been in visit photos and Cassandra was very flexible and communicative. It was great having her watch him while I was on vacation! I would highly recommend her.”


2. Toby Y.

“Toby was so flexible when I text him the last minute to help with my little one! He was very communicative and left the little box immaculate and better than she found it. I am so lucky to have connected with him and will reach out if we have a need in the future!”


3. Cory H.

“Cory was amazing and went above and beyond to care for Francesca while I was away! I loved that he sent me photos of my baby and kept her purring. Even when I had a few hiccups with my trip, Cory made sure not only Francesca was safe but my home as well. I highly recommend him to anyone whether it's a few nights away or just the afternoon, he's the best of the best!”


4. Maryia B.

“Maryia looked after my very shy and timid cat for three days. She was very communicative, professional, on time, and very considerate of my cat's fear of strangers. Would definitely book with Maryia in the future! Thanks again!”


5. Chris W.
“Chris took fabulous care of our three kitties while my partner and I were away for nearly 3 weeks. We requested the basics (food, water, litter, wellness check), but Chris went above and beyond in the attentiveness and time he spent with our little rascals. He gave excellent photos in each visit summary, and we could tell by his comments that he paid special attention to each of their personalities, quirks, and comfort levels. Highly recommend Chris for anyone needing reliable cat care!”


6. Kevin W.

“Kevin has been FANTASTIC throughout his check-ins with Grey. Lots of photos to see how she's doing and clearly giving her amazing attention. Couldn't recommend him more.”

20. Suzanne L.
“Suzanne is an amazing dog mom!! She absolutely loves all animals and pets, and treats them all as her own! Of the few people I would ever choose to watch over my fur babies, it would be Suzanne.
