1. Kyra C.
“This is the 3rd time I've hired Kyra to cat-sit while I'm away and I again (unsurprisingly) returned to a very happy kitty. Jupiter seems to really like her. She's really easy to communicate with and provides daily updates, with pictures. She definitely goes above and beyond with making sure my cat is cared for while I'm away.”
2. Trey G.
“Trey was great! Great communication and my cat loved him. It put my mind at ease having someone with veterinary training. I’m hoping he will sit for me again!”
3. Kenzie O.
“Kenzie was helpful watching our cats on short notice. Our three cats all have very distinct personalities and we're happy and healthy when we got back home from our trip”
4. Danielle W.
“Danielle was great with my two cats! They loved having her come over and play and just hang out and cuddle. She also came to meet the cats and see how everything was laid out in the house. I will definitely use her again!”
5. Jasmine P.
“We will definitely book with Jasmine again! She was super communicative, thorough, and flexible. We appreciated the pictures and detailed notes. Our shy cat warmed up quickly to her. Highly recommend!”

8. Lizzie C.
“Lizzie took such amazing care of my cat. There was an ant infestation the night after I left for vacation, and Lizzie took care of it for me while I was away. Definitely will rebook, and I recommend her for anyone who wants a reliable pet sitter!”
9. Faith B.
“I booked Faith for two 30 minute drop-ins while away from home and she would feed, pet, and do litterbox maintenance within an average 20-21 minutes. Thank you for caring for my pretty kitty Luna in my absence! (:”
10. Ashley L.
“She was efficient as always, the app messed up on the last day and didn’t tell her she had a check in, but she still went when asked! Our dog loves Ashley!”
11. Holly H.
“Holly was great! We appreciated how she sent photos and was super communicative- which helped us feel at ease when away from our babies. Our cats really adore her and when she first met them, they immediately took to her, giving cuddles and purrs. She was thoughtful in ensuring they were well loved and cared for as if they were her own. She went above and beyond giving full effort to provide them with high quality care. THANKS HOLLY! I highly recommend booking.”
12. David S.
