11. Audrey C.
“Audrey looked after our cat Muffin while we were abroad. She has been amazing with him, bringing him out of his shell and giving him some well-needed attention while we’re away. She’s super quick to respond, and has gone above and beyond for us. I can’t reccomend her enough.”

She went above and beyond, completing other tasks around the house and we came back to a happy dog and clean home. We hate having to leave our dog behind when we travel, but feel much better knowing he's in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Christina for pet sitting!”

16. Victoria C.
“Loved having Victoria walk my dog! Victoria was easy to work with, dependable and responsive throughout the booking process and my dog absolutely loves her!”
17. Nicole L.
“Nicole Lahy is a natural with pets. All 4 of our pets trusted her from the start, 2 mature dogs & 2 young cats. I was especially impressed by how calm our suspicious old Chihuahua was when he first met Nicole. Normally he starts with barks & teethless ankle bites, usually needs treats to be won over but instead he gently sniffed her hand & cheerfully accepted pets. Our larger dog Brontë already decided she’s a favorite person & the cats don’t hide when she come by. Nicole is easygoing, reliable, & kind.”
18. Elle C.
“Elle did a great job with drop-in visits for my kitty when I was away. I loved the pictures she sent and I could tell, my Licorice was in good hands. I recommend Elle and would book with her again!”
19. Jeremy P.
“Jeremy is the best! My dog loves him. He’s super consistent and friendly, clearly very knowledgeable about taking care of all kinds of doggos. Glad we found him!”
20. Bridget P.
“Bridget is amazing!! I work 12hr days and her daily drop-ins really keep my Sasha happy while I’m gone. Great communicator and is flexible with my crazy work schedule.”
