1. Zoe N.
“Zoe did a fantastic job checking in on our two kitties. She was prompt, responsive, and sent a detailed update and photos that really set our minds at ease. She was thoughtful enough to bring in our Amazon packages as well so they didn't get rained on. It's clear the kitties loved Zoe, and we'll definitely rebook!”
2. Katie P.
“Katie went above and beyond taking care of my sassy cat! She took great care of my cat, had no issue mixing her meds, and also took great care of the house when Bella made a mess. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
3. Hilary T.
“Hilary was fantastic! We had a virtual meet and greet so she could meet Mochi and she asked a lot of great questions. During the visits, she provided a great summary and sent some pictures to let me know how my baby was doing. Highly recommend!”
4. Shane J.
“Shane was wonderful as always. A very last minute scheduling conflict came up in my household that would have left our animals without care. Shane was kind enough to accommodate us so last minute and take care of everyone. So thankful he could help us in a pinch like that.”
5. Kathryn K.
“Per usual Kathryn is an amazing pet sitter. She is my primary cat sitter & both my kitties & I absolutely love her. She’s on time, friendly, helpful & leaves the best follow ups!”
6. Mariana T.
“Mariana did a wonderful job keeping our dog company on a few occasions while we were out of town! She arrived promptly, gave our dog plenty of attention, and left us comprehensive notes, so we knew our dog was in good hands!”
7. Laura & Simon L.
“Outstanding experience. Laura was incredibly professional and responsive, taking great care of our pets during the holidays. When we arrived back earlier than expected, Laura insisted on modifying the booking even though I offer to pay her for the originally agreed number of visits. We came home to happy cats and a clean, fresh-smelling home. Your cats are in great hands with her!”
8. Colleen O.
“Colleen was amazing with Corndog and Sandy! Corndog has always been skittish around anyone other than the family, but he warmed up to her quickly and they both enjoyed many cuddles! We'll definitely be reaching out to Colleen again.”
9. Brooke S.

11. Randy M.
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
12. Jennifer D.
“Jennifer did an outstanding job with my cat, Duke, who is typically shy and tends to hide when unfamiliar people are around. Jennifer's patience and gentle approach helped Duke gradually come out of his shell and become comfortable enough to spend time with her during their visits. Jennifer also provided thorough updates, and I felt extremely at ease knowing that she was taking care of Duke. I highly recommend Jennifer for anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
13. Bryan L.
“When my wife and I travel and can't take Barney with us, there is only one person we turn to take care of him, Bryan! Not only does Barney appear happy when we return, we know Bryan to be patient, kind, and an all around wonderful human being. Ease your mind and select Bryan for your next dog caretaker.”
14. Ollie S.
“Ollie was *such* a wonderful sitter for our cat, Zora! We received the most wonderful visit descriptions and were really really impressed with how thorough Ollie was not only in terms of care for our cat but also in updates. Thank you so much, Ollie!”

16. Megan J.
“Megan was amazing with my dog, Ryder, and I felt that my dog was in safe hands with her. She sent plenty of photos and documented her drop-ins. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to using her again in the future!!”
17. Stacey D.
“I booked Stacey on a last minute notice and am so glad that I did! She is very polite and personable and will be using her services again! Thanks, Stacey!!!”
18. Amanda W.
“Something came up and I needed to extend my trip by a day. Amanda was able to turn on a dime and care for my cat the extra day. That’s what I call reliable.”
19. Amanda P.
“Amanda was amazing with my two kitties. She took excellent care of them and provided plenty of photos/videos and updates. Normally, both of my cats are shy and afraid of new people, but they warmed up to Amanda pretty fast, ate treats from her hands, played with her and let her pet them. Can’t recommend enough, she is a cat whisperer!”
20. Bailey F.
“Bailey was wonderful - super communicative and took great pictures.”
