Jenna was absolutely amazing! I would ask her back to watch Wilbur again in a heartbeat. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time, giving me such peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she treated Wilbur with great care and affection, and I could tell he felt comfortable with her. She even went above and beyond by coming over ahead of time to meet him and ensure everything was seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter—highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet!

Walker was absolutely fantastic. We were so worried about leaving Lulu alone for the first time in three years. From the first day Walker stopped by to check on Lulu he provided us with daily updates and photos, allowing us to see Lulus interactions with him. Slowly Lulu opened up to him and the visits ended in belly rubs by day 3. Walker played with him and gave him lots of love which allowed him to trust Walker . I truly believe he has a natural connection with animals because Lulu acted as though he knew him for years. Our minds were completely at ease after receiving daily photos . Walker also went above and beyond to ensure Lulus comfort he followed all our instructions and went the extra mile. We will only book Walker for any future travel plans. This is our first time using this app and will be clients for a while. Walker thank you for your care and dedication to our pets. You were a big relief during a stressful time!

Nicholas was great with Ella - we came home to a happy cat. Nicholas was also really helpful when we realized we had given him the wrong key - he followed our instructions to access our back door and use our spare key and even made an extra trip to our house because of it. We will definitely hire Nicholas again!

Our furry guys like her a lot:) We love to read her visit reports - each time it makes us laugh :) when you are back home from a long trip and you meet your pets happy and relaxed, house is clean (when you even didn’t ask for it… because she is just an amazing human being!:) - that feeling is priceless!

Jamie is my go-to whenever my dog needs a visitor or walk when I can’t be there. She’s fantastic — whether my pup is feeling lazy or has the zoomies. She’s super communicative and can fill in on last minute notice. My dog loves her and don’t know what I would do without her!

Allison was incredible and we will absolutely use her again! She was very responsive, showed up on time, and I felt like she gave the best care to our kitten! When our cat got into a space under our cabinets, she was quick to let us know and found a solution so she wouldn’t crawl into an unsafe space. We are grateful we found her for Prim!

Townsend is nothing short of fantastic as a pet friend and pet sitter. She is well prepared, comes in time, pays attention to what our little guy needs, and keeps us informed of what’s happening. I could not be happier! It gives us great peace that we can be away and know he will be well cared for.

Trusting our cat to Emma when we had to be out of town for a couple of days was a great decision! She made sure to establish a connection with the cat and we enjoyed the pictures and videos she sent! Came back to a relaxed and happy kitty, would 100% recommend!
