“Katie was great! Super responsible and so good with Betty. Kept me updated with pics and Betty seemed comfortable with her right away. Will definitely request Katie again!”

“Kaitrin is a true GEM! I appreciate her knowledge, kindness and professionalism. Also, her communication, promptness and calm demeanor made it a seamless transition for my sweet boy, Oliver to adjust to since he suffers from separation anxiety. They enjoyed nice walks and cozy, snuggling time. She sent texts and photos during my time away and even gave me a complete update of their days when I arrived home. I feel extremely lucky we met and have already reserved another day with her. Thanks again, Kaitrin. You're the best! ☺️”

“Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.”

“Juliette was thoughtful, attentive, and attuned to my pet babies( a kitten and 1 year old dog). I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the daily photos abd updates and she was all around a lovely and compassionate person.”

“Rida was absolutely wonderful! She was so patient, kind, and caring with Kitty, and I could tell she truly loves animals. She took great care of him and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: Hey there! I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little. I used to walk dogs and get in contact with people through flyers posted on light poles. The house phone would be off the hook… sorry mom. My friends contact me first when they’re heading out of town and I’m always happy to help my neighbors. Let me help take the stress off you when it comes to your fury loved ones :) I’m a photographer (yes I can photograph your dog!!) and am flexible with my time management. Weekdays when work is in the way can be tough but I can help! I have experience crating dogs, long walks, special food necessities and lots love! I enjoy giving extra play time and attention or a comfortable lap to nap on!
“Lauren was great with our girl Burty! She stayed with her for a weekend while we were away and took such good care of her. Lauren sent us lots of updates with pictures and videos. We would definitely use her again!”

“Ginny is a fabulous catsitter and great human. I almost don't want to leave a review so that she's always available for me! I'm a nervous cat mom with a cat who is indecisive about all other humans. She'll rub up against you one minute and the next she'll hiss. Ginny handled this like the pro she is by letting me know, but also reassuring me that she understands that cats like their space and learning Cassie's moods and styles. She's determined to get Cassie to love her, while simultaneously giving Cassie all the space she needs. Ginny also kept me filled in every day with pictures and updates and soothed my anxiety while I was gone for the longest I've ever been. I strongly recommend Ginny... but I come first :)”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and have walked them for two years. I make sure they have a safe fun time. My schedule is pretty open so I am guaranteed to make sure your pet is well taken care of and having a fun safe time. In clients home I make sure that gates are closed to backyard. Make sure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to be in.
“Tahir was excellent! Really made me feel at ease after a hard move and then having to leave my cat for a short trip. He shared regular updates, took care to include important details about my cat’s health concerns, left my house spotless, and somehow managed to get the shy guy to come out and play. It was the best, easiest experience I’ve had in years. I will definitely book catsitting with Tahir again.”

“Carmen and Alex were wonderful! We were away for a long weekend and felt confident that our two rescue dogs were in good hands. We really appreciated the photo’s and communication. From them. Highly recommend them!”

“I highly recommend Laurel! She was lovely, professional, trustworthy and took great care of my King Charles Cavalier on extremely short notice when my husband and I decided to get away for a long weekend. She kept me in the loop on how he was doing, took pics for me to reassure me that he was doing well and also kept the house in perfect shape upon our return. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but I will definitely use Laurel's services again when I am in a pinch and would recommend her to others in need of care for their pets.”

“Cynthia was amazing to work with! We have 4 cats who don’t get along well and she took on the task with ease. She provided so many updates, pictures and hopped on the phone with us when we were getting anxious about being away for so long. She was very respectful of our home and really loved our cats like her own. We appreciate her so much and recommend her to anyone who is feeling a bit anxious about leaving their pet!”

“Madeleine is an incredible sitter! She stayed in our home and watched our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the care she provided. Both of our pets are often nervous around new people, but she immediately put them at ease and became fast friends with them. Communication was excellent. She sent us regular updates and photos while we were away. When we returned, the animals were calm and relaxed, as if we had never left. Our home was also in better condition than we left it. We're so grateful for her exceptional care and professionalism. She has our highest recommendation!”
