“Alyssa was great! But I would rather review Rover...I thought the additional fees were excessive for cats. I could see it if 2+ dogs need walks..but to put out 3 bowls of food for cats was a little much...but I am thankful to Rover for providing the service.”
“Adrianna did a wonderful job watching my 4 cats while my husband and I were on an extended vacation. She was prompt with her visits and always stayed at least the 30 minutes for the drop in visit. She was very responsive and communicative while we were gone, which I really appreciated. I have one problem kitty who requires a lot of medication and she did a great job making sure he got his meds each visit and communicated with me right away if she had any questions. I would 100% book Adrianna again to watch my cats.”
“Christy cared for Cookie and always updated me on how my cat was doing....it was great peace of mind for me. Christy even brought to my attention when there were concerns about too much self scratching going on. I will have Christy pet sit for me from here on out!”
“Victoria was very attentive to all of Peaches’ needs, even though Peaches never showed her mouthy, fuzzy face. My home was very respected and was as if we hadn’t been gone. Victoria went above and beyond by even bringing in our mail and packages. The comfort level and communication was stellar.”

My own cats are fed 2x daily & snacked at least once / day. Litter boxes are cleaned 2x daily. Your pets needs will be a priority for me.

Emily U.
“I highly recommend Emily to watch and care for your little fur babies! Emily has helped me out on more than one occasion caring for my little LuLu. LuLu has extreme separation anxiety and is afraid of, well, everyone. However, she loves Emily! I feel very comfortable leaving Lu’s care to Emily!!”

Brenay B.
“Our dogs are always so well taken care of with Brenay. We have been repeat customers for about a year now and will continue to book with her!”
Minerve D.
“As a first-time dog owner, I was initially nervous about leaving my pup, Milo, in someone else’s care. A mutual friend recommended Minerve, and I’m so grateful they did. From our first meeting, Minerve was incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. She took the time to learn Milo’s routine, asked thoughtful questions, and built trust with both of us right away. She’s been walking Milo regularly and has even helped reinforce some of his basic training. Milo adores her - he waits at the door for her arrival and returns from walks calm and content. Minerve’s calm energy, reliable communication, and intuitive understanding of animal behavior have made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver.”
Joel B.
“Took care of our kitties and fish while we were staying out of town. Joel’s a reliable and trustworthy animal lover who follows directions. Highly recommend!”
Jennifer & Larry W.
“We have a lab/mastiff mix and 7 cats. When Jennifer and Larry come to watch them they all swarm. They don’t even miss us. Jennifer and Larry keep up with the routines we have in place for the animals easily (we have a couple that need extra attention). We also have one runner who has gotten out with every other person who has watched her EXCEPT for Jennifer and Larry. I wholeheartedly and without reservations would recommend Jennifer and Larry, and my pets would too.”
Emma W.
“Emma is an excellent pet care giver. She loves all animals and has years of experience caring for them. She care for animals as if they were her own pets.”
