“Ariel is the absolute best! Even through freezing rain and snow she always makes sure our little fur babies are always taken care of. She also has the very best updates and we feel so lucky to have her watch over our kitties.”


2. Kate W.

“Kate is amazing. I am so thankful and appreciative that she took such great care of my temper mental kitties. Kate took lots of pictures and gave me a great description of how my babies were doing. She is a great communicator. It was so comforting to know they were in good care while I was gone! Thanks, Kate!!!!”

4. Megan A.

“Megan was very thorough and responsive! She was very patient with my shy cats and even did some extra vacuuming of the litter they love to kick out of their boxes. Thanks, Megan!!”


5. Pedro T.

“Pedro was amazing!!! I have a new puppy (3 months) and she can be a handful since she is so young but Pedro handled it with ease. He was professional, was able to help with cleaning up after her when she had accidents, helped with puppy pad training, would take her for walks, play with her to get her energy out-and took great photos through his visits! His great photos of my puppy would make my day and made me feel less anxious about having to leave her because of how much fun she looked like she was having with Pedro! Pedro was able to do multiple drop in visits throughout the day- would update me before getting to my place, during and once leaving. He made me a part of every step of his visit. I am really appreciative of Pedro and will be booking with him again.”


6. Erica M.

“Erica was so great! She took incredible care of my cat, even spending extra time with her, and sent me thorough daily updates. Would absolutely book again and recommend her to anyone.”


7. Marlene S.

“Marlene did an incredible job watching our pets. We needed a sitter the night before going out of town for the Thanksgiving. Not only did she help when we needed it most, but she was very communicative the entire time and really paid attention to the important details that comes with taking care of pets. Thanks!”


8. Elaine K.

“Elaine has been incredible with Mister! She went above the call of duty and when my puppy escaped his play pen she answered my SOS call and made me feel so much better. She takes lots of photos and always lets me know how he’s doing. She’s been so flexible and loving with my sweet boy.”


9. Kristyna P.

“Kristyna was a joy to work with and we would love to rebook her as our cat sitter in the future! Communication was great and everything went well with our kitties!”


10. Jenny M.

“Jenny was kind and communicative and took care of my cats like they were her own. She even managed to get some great pics! I would definitely book with her again.”


11. Payal S.
“Payal is amazing with dogs! She's taken care of our family Yorkie for years now. Every time Maxine sees Payal, she's already running towards the front door trying to jump through the screen, so we know how much she truly loves her. Payal has such a sweet and loving heart who wants to make sure your dog is taken care of. She also has a dog of her own, so she knows what signs to look for if your dog isn't feeling well or wants something in particular. We love Payal and we totally recommend her to take care of any dog she encounters. Thanks Payal for taking care of our sweet Yorkie!”

“Per usual, Cris is the best! We can count on her to take the best care of our kitties. Changing water filters, brushing them, giving them treats and even changing batteries of our carbon monoxide detector while were away!”


13. Annie L.

“Annie was fantastic! She clearly took great care of my cat and left detailed notes and took lots of pictures! I could tell he was in really good hands. I would definitely book Annie again, and plan to do so!”


14. Jake K.
“Dalton watched my cat over the summer while I was traveling. My cat is very particular about who he will let pet or hold him, but Dalton is one of the only people outside of my household that my cat enjoys being around. Dalton is a great and reliable pet sitter. I would let him watch my pet anytime.”


15. Kelsey R.

“I always love booking Kelsey! She gets along great with the cats, is consistent and reliable, and always sends great updates with the cutest photos!!”


16. Xinwen M.

“Xinwen was amazing!! She watched my cat for over a week and through Christmas and she was very consistent and did everything Goji needed. She also took great pictures and left detailed overviews of what occurred during her visits. She is very kind and I would recommend her to anyone I know who needs a sitter!”


17. Rachel E.

“Rachel is amazing as always. Our cats don’t like most people and they have warmed to Rachel after her patience and understanding of how cats work. Our cats are eagerly waiting at the door to greet Rachel and have a great time playing with her. Rachel also proactively thinks outside the box and even thought to turn up the thermostat to keep the cats warm when the weather unexpectedly dropped. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we’re away!”


18. Allison C.

“Allison was great with my cat, Mason. She visited on time, sent photos, and the place looked great when we returned -- and Mason was a happy boy. Recommended!”


19. Gianna C.
“Gianna is a very loving pet caregiver. She has watched my dog for me when we were on vacation. Gianna walked our dog and played with her which is what we wanted, especially since our dog was young at the time. I also appreciated how Gianna knows the importance of just hanging out with a dog. Gianna loves dogs and I know she has a special place in her heart for all animals.”
