Joe has been taking great care of my dog, August. He is very thorough with his visits, leaving my pup happy and well-exercised along with a good note and some pictures so I know my dog is happy! Joe is very reliable, and my dog is noticeably happier after his visits. Thank you for taking great care of my dog!

Tk was amazing and a Christmas miracle after a friend cancelled on me last minute to come and pet sit my two kitties over the holidays. She went in 3 days in a row, two being on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and went above and beyond to make sure my babies were safe and happy. She followed instructions perfectly too so could not have been happier with her services

Dani continues to be great! This was our third time rebooking her (many sessions at a time), and we already booked her out again for the next month. My wife and I know our pup is in the best hands with Dani's check-in visits when we both have long work-days. Our puppy absolutely loves her!

What a great team Vanessa and Gilberto are. Both of our cats are so much better adjusted to our absence than they were before we asked Vanessa and Gilberto to take care of them. It’s like we never left. They also take professional quality pictures of our cats.

This is the second time Rachel has cat sit for me and she does such an amazing job. Between sending me an abundance of pictures, playing with my cats, cleaning up any mess they made, and making sure all their robots are working accordingly, I feel extremely comfortable leaving my boys in her care. 10/10, will book again 🐈‍⬛ 💕 🐈‍⬛

Heaven did an amazing job keeping my cat Kali company while I was gone! I was nervous about leaving her for a couple of days, but Heaven kept me updated whenever she checked on her, which gave me the reassurance I needed. She was also flexible with dropping off the keys to my place once I got back. I highly recommend her, she obviously cares a lot about animals!

Olivia is so great with our boys and our home! Our standoffish cats both come out to see her every time she visits. She is very communicative with us about how they’re doing and takes initiative with things like vacuuming litter and washing their food bowls. We never have to worry about our boys when we are on trips because we know she takes such excellent care of them.
