1. Stephanie P.

“We normally have friends watch our kitties but recently were only able to get friends to visit in the evenings. We were very nervous having someone we didn't know taking care of of our little furballs but Stephanie was incredible. She spent time during the meet and greet to get all the needed information, and to get to know the cats and have them know her. Each check in, she sent amazing pictures of our little fur babies and updated us on anything we should know. The cats were well taken care of and quickly trusted her. Its so much piece of mind that Stephanie takes such great care of them, both food and playing/enrichment. You can tell she's an animal lover! We'd definitely recommended her services!”

“Reliable. Caring. Understanding. I can wholeheartedly recommend Kathy. -k”


3. Kelly R.

“Kelly took amazing care of my cat when I was out of town. She sent regular updates which made me feel more at ease for leaving my cat behind. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you again!!!”


4. Yvonne R.

“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”


5. Cydnie S.

“Did everything I asked of her, plus consistently sent me pictures of my cats during my trip which made me feel very re assured. Will continue to book with her!”


6. Kelly W.

“Kelly was phenomenal! She helped us out last minute and communicated the entire time we were gone. We felt like our boy was being taken care of by someone that would care for him exactly as we would.”


7. Porfirio & Tímea R.

“Highly recommend. My husband and I went overseas for a few weeks and Timea was very communicative, would take pictures of our pets often, and we just felt comfortable having her stay with our kittens. She did an excellent job and went above and beyond the call of duty. Would use her service again.”


8. Victoria S.

“Victoria was a great cat sitter! My cats really enjoyed her company and you could tell they were very happy. It was great knowing my cats were in good hands while I was away. She even took my trash cans out just in time for trash day!! I will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”


9. Nichole S.
“Rover.com To say that Nichole loves animals would be a understatement. Nichole has been around animals most of her life and over the past few years she has gotten involved with the animal rescue and rehab community. She has helped find homes for domestic animals that were discarded by their owners or orphaned when their mothers were killed. She also works to rehab wild baby animals so they can be released back into the wild. You won't find anyone that loves animals as much as Nichole does. R. Federick”


10. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea is one of the most caring and nurturing people I’ve ever met, and that kindness extends to animals as well. My dog, Sasha, was never one to warm up to people easily, but she absolutely adored Chelsea. It was incredible to see how naturally Chelsea connected with her—Sasha would always seek her out for pets and attention, which was rare for her. As a pet owner herself, Chelsea goes above and beyond to ensure her pets are well cared for, happy, and spoiled in the best way possible. She provides them with a loving, safe, and enriching environment, always prioritizing their well-being. Her deep love for animals is evident in everything she does, and any pet in her care is truly lucky.”


11. Kaitlynn J.

“Kaitlynn was so sweet and loving to my cats. She gave my spoiled diabetic boy extra special treatment. It made our vacation so much better not worrying about our babies.”


12. Arianna P.

“Arianna is the absolute best! She is flexible, kind, and responsible. She always does a terrific job watching our two cats, and they love when she comes to visit!”


13. jacob r.
“Jake would be the best to care for or walk your pups! Animals absolutely love him and are automatically magnitized to him. Jake is very responsible,energetic, patient,kind,and thoughtful and loves animals. One will be very pleased to have him interact with your pup”


14. Heather C.

“Great communication, updates, and photos!”


15. Shelby D.


“Shelby is amazing! I found her to be absolutely trustworthy and caring with my pets and home. I was gone for 2 weeks and my cat needed meds twice a day. she always sent me pictures and often there was a note about how things were going. by her notes I knew that she was paying attention to my cat and how he was acting and doing what she could to make him comfortable in my absence. I will absolutely and trust my cat with Shelby anytime I'm gone in the future. I can't say enough good things about her as a caring and responsible pet sitter.”


16. Courtney M.
“I highly recommend Courtney for all your pet needs. Over the years, Courtney has taken care of both my dogs and cats. I feel comfortable when I have to be away from my pets knowing they are well cared for when she is with them. She has administered medication, walked the dogs and will play with the animals to ensure they are entertained. She just has a way with animals. I feel my animal family is in good loving hands with Courtney. It also helps that she is a huge animal lover!”


17. Hailey G.
About: My name is Hailey and I have had multiple years of pet care experience. I have always had dogs in my home. I was raised around multiple breeds including pitbulls, chihuahuas, labs, and plenty of mixed breeds. I have done overnight and drop in sitting. I also have worked in a doggy daycare as a daycare provider. I also have experience in potty training as well as resource guarding. I have a 2 year old pitsky (pit-bull husky mix) and he is my whole world, I will always provide the same care I would want someone to provide my fur baby with. 🐾❤️ I’m currently very flexible and can work with clients as needed. I am open for anything which includes weekends, or weekdays. I always try to work with the owner’s needs. I usually do my sitting in the client’s home. During this time, I will make sure I know everything I need to know including allergies, what time the fur baby is usually fed, and medications that are needed and when, if they need a walk and when and anything else the owner wants me to know. I also always make sure to keep the client’s home exactly how it was left and clean up after myself, providing the owner’s home with respect.


18. Cara R.
About: Ive had the pleasure of working with dogs almost all my life. There has never been a point in my life where I haven’t had 1-2 dogs in my house which I am very grateful for since they have always been my calling in life. I’ve worked at two different doggy daycare and boarding places and volunteer currently at the Wyandotte adoption center where they take very good care of their animals and adopt them out to the best parents possible. I have a little less experience with cats but since 2020 I’ve been able to be around them a lot more. I now live in a 3 cat house hold. One of the daycares I’ve worked for had cats staying there of all temperaments and I currently help out with the cats at the Adoption center. I’ve had other animals including guinea pigs and hamsters. I have less experience with small animals but am willing to learn. I currently only volunteer at the adoption center and have put majority of the days I need off on the calendar so I’m available most days. I’m just starting off on this app so I’ve kept the apps 2 visits on my schedule but will increase it or decrease it according to how everything goes. I can do whatever you need. I prefer staying at the clients home especially if the pet isn’t good with other dogs or cats but I’m willing to do mostly anything the pet needs and am willing to do stuff for the home if need be.




19. Lissa P.
“It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Lissa who was our dog walker and dog sitter for several years for our 2 babies and Ridgeback and a Shepard. Lissa was only the second dog walker that had ever worked with us. We knew from the outset that our dogs were in good hands with Lissa. She was reliable, punctual, observant, patient and always loving. Our Girls simply love walks with Lissa and always came home happy, well-exercised, in good shape and exhausted. . Lissa has the keys to our home and took care of both dog when we were away on holiday. She always did a great job and I never had to worry. She is completely honest and very responsible”
