“Emily was so great for our kitties during our recent absence! One of our kitties had been sick and was still receiving oral medication, so I was very nervous about leaving her behind. Emily put my mind completely at ease. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring. We felt so lucky to have found her and will absolutely reach out for drop-in visits again.”

“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”

“This is the third time I’ve booked Teresa, and she continues to be fantastic. She’s great with the cats, always provides regular updates (which I really appreciate!), and even managed to get my sassiest cat to cave and warm up to her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“This is a late review; so sorry! Caroline was an excellent drop in visitor for my two cats, one of which had dietary restrictions. Will definitely try to work with Caroline again.”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful! Great communication, pics and updates on my girls really helped put my mind at ease. Highly recommend! I will be booking her for future trips!”
