“Karen was amazing at caring for our two cats while we were away for a week! Both were looked after lovingly and I appreciate how much Karen communicated with us and how reliable she was! Karen managed to bond with our more shy cat and get her to take her medicine. It was wonderful knowing Polly and Vinny were in good hands!”
“I have never hired a pet sitter before, so I naturally was a little anxious. Hannah eased my anxiety and went above and beyond my expectations! My kitties instantly felt comfortable around her, and she took very good care of them while I was away. 100% recommend and I will be rebooking in the future!!”
“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”
