“Holly was awesome with our four Kid-ttens. The 2 youngest really love spending time with Holly on the patio. They always had food & water top off. Their litter boxes were cleaned out. We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”

“Shera was a wonderful pet sitter from my initial request! She responded quickly and answered all my questions. She even did a meet and greet for our sweet Poppy! First time I haven’t had to worry about my dog’s anxiety in a long time! She was super sweet and attentive to our needs! I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs! We will use her again!”
“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”
“Kara was incredibly sweet and kept me well-informed about everything happening with my pets while I was away. She dedicated ample time during her visits, ensuring they received plenty of love and attention in my absence.

My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of.

“Liz was wonderful! She took great care of our elderly cat, Lily, while we were away. Liz noticed her water drinking & eating habits, listened to Lily’s complaints and demands, and did such a great job keeping us updated. We’ll be reaching out to Liz again next time we need a pet sitter!”

I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.
