“Such a kind person and an animal lover to the core. Shinji loved having Maria over! She also gave love to our cat even though he didn't need to be taken care of. I can't recommend her enough, she clearly knows what she is doing and loves the animals that she sits. Will definitely keep in touch if we go travel again. Thank you so much!”

“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my cat, Meelo! She took such great care of him while I was away, stopping by every day to feed him, clean his litter, and make sure he was doing well. I really appreciated the frequent updates and adorable pictures she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches, and I would absolutely book her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

13. Emily D.
“Emily walked and took care of my two dogs for an entire year. I used Emily for both daily walks while I was at work and also overnights for when I needed to head out of town. Emily made sure my dogs were well fed, rested, and had tons of time to play outside. I trusted emily with my home, possessions, and my dogs. She is completely trustworthy of it all - I was extremely impressed! Emily also made sure to clean up after my dogs played with house items, ensuring a spotless return for me. She even saved momentos from my dogs and left them for me so I wouldn’t miss out on anything.”

15. Mark H.
“Mark was an absolute pleasure to have as a dog walker. My Aussie is super energetic, and he made sure to tire her out with a long hike, which she absolutely loved. By the time I got her back, she was ready for bed, which never happens. Mark was sure to send me updates through out the day and was very responsive. Can’t go wrong with hiring Mark!”


16. Brittany P.

“Brittany did a terrific job of caring for Chance. She was diligent about giving him his meds, and spraying a hot spot he had each day. She noticed when he took some skin off his nose, and tried her best to keep his ecollar on when Chance was doing all he could to take it off. Thanks to her his hot spot is almost gone and he’s healthy and happy. She’s the best.”


17. Ann Marie J.

“Ann Marie was AMAZING with our 1 year pitty mix named Tali. She went above and beyond with updates, pictures, and entertainment for our pup. I could tell Tali looked forward to Ann Marie's visits and we will absolutely be booking her again for drop by visits.”


18. Natalya D.

“Natalya was an amazing choice to care for our 5 cats. She updated me and sent pictures daily. She also has so much experience with animals that she truly made me feel at ease while away. Thank you so much Natalya!”


19. Destinee K.
“Destinee is a very patient and responsible person. She’s the type to put your furry child above almost any human. I highly recommend hiring her if you ever have to leave your pet for awhile. Also she’s very clean so you may come back to your house cleaner than before you left. All her attention goes into your pet. Speaking from personal experience, my dog is very skidish but after a couple min with Destinee, it was if they bonded immediately and I saw a side of my dog I couldn’t believe. 10/10!”

“Excellent Rover! She was able to accommodate a late booking and save the day in an emergency.”
