Hong recently cared for my cat, Mio. Mio is a clever but stubborn cat who already knows tricks like sit, high five, and play dead. However, she rarely performs these tricks for anyone and no other sitter has successfully gotten her to perform these tricks. Hong patiently observed her and figured out her biggest motivator—food. He successfully got her to perform her tricks which is quite an accomplishment! In addition, Hong provided regular updates, complete with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and confidence that Mio was in great hands. Hong’s genuine love for animals, combined with his reliability and honesty makes him an outstanding pet sitter. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier care for their pets.

Ethan was very communicative, professional, and great with my dogs. He really helped me out with a last minute drop in visit when a work event popped up. I will definitely use him again!

Melissa took excellent care of our two kitties while we were away for vacation! She not only gave them plenty of attention and cuddles, but also worked to keep our place tidy. I would ask her to take of our kitties again in a second!

Katy is a true professional with a clear love for what she does and the animals she cares for! Our pup is a gentle giant who is nervous at baseline, and it took her no time at all to warm up to Katy. Her ability to learn the ins and outs of our Bailey in such a short time was remarkable, and we highly recommend her services to anyone who is hesitant to leave their dog in anyone else’s care!

Kelly is a compassionate and attentive dog owner who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the dogs in her care have a great time and feel cherished. She skillfully guided my German shepherd through his wild puppy stages without skipping a beat. Her reliability is unmatched, and your dogs will adore her.

I recently hired Kathleen to look after my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Kathleen was kind, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all of my instruction perfectly and provided updates during her daily visits, which helped put my mind at ease. Kathleen ensured my cats felt comfortable and cared for— they warmed up to her quickly!. My cats were happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I would highly recommend Kathleen!
