1. Alicia S.
“Can’t recommend Alicia enough!! She was incredibly attentive to Indi while I was away and left amazing updates and I enjoyed all of the photos she left while I was away - not to mention she was able to book last minute when my usual sitter fell through. 10/10 will be reaching out to Alicia first for all future pet sitting needs!”
2. James R.
“James did a great job taking care of my cat Misha while I was out of town! She is normally very shy, but after only a few days she had already warmed up to him. Would definitely recommend his services if you're in need of a drop-in cat sitter!”
3. Christine C.
“Christine is excellent! What I like about her is she communicates well and clearly follows every instruction you ask her. Paris our cat was well taken care of. She was on time and updated if she's on her way and once she finished the drop-in. Definitely a trusted sitter! I will highly recommend her. Thank you so much Christine! :)”

7. Giovanna P.
“Giovanna took excellent care of our boys while we were away. It was great to have peace of mind while we were traveling that they were safe and happy and even more wonderful to come home to well rested and content dogs - which never happens when we send them for overnights at daycare! Would recommend her to anyone seeking the same.”
8. Summer S.
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Our experience with summer was truly amazing! She really took the time to understand our needs. We just took on a rescue puppy a little over a week ago that’s a pit mix. She’s never been domesticated and had a lot of notes for care. We also have a high energy German shepherd who has a few notes as well. We did not feel comfortable boarding them / her as she’s so new to a home we didn’t want that to be a stressful experience for her. Summer came to do a meet and greet and they couldn’t have been more ready to play with her! She took time to get to know their behaviors and adapted to each of them, giving us very thorough pupdates along the way. You can tell how much she truly cares about the dogs and really understands their behaviors & how to manage two different personalities of doggo. I’ve already raved to some groups about her services and would absolutely use her again! Thanks so much, Summer!!!”
9. LaShanda H.
“Shanda was so attentive to our dog Wilbur. She followed instructions meticulously and asked great questions. We loved the updates we got during her drop-in. You could tell Wilbur was head over heels for her! Really lucky we found Shanda.”
10. Taylor H.
“Taylor was very friendly, thorough and patient. Our dog is very particular, but she was patient with him and managed to get him outside both times which can be a challenge. Thank you Taylor!”
11. Elisabel B.
“Elisabel has been wonderful helping take care of my Bernedoodle puppy while I work. She does regular visits on a weekly visit and will play her or take her on short walks and makes she she has something to eat and drink also. Our pup is always happy and well cared for when Elisabel visits. I would definitely recommend her to someone else.”
