1. Carolyn A.
“Carolyn was great! She loved Oppy, sent pictures of her playing with him daily, and he was happy as could be when I came back! She was also very flexible and understanding with the timing of when to come see Oppy and some confusion due to me having old kitten food still out. I really appreciate her communicativeness and understanding as I guided her to the correct food to use. Would definitely recommend as a cat sitter!”
2. Christina C.

4. Annie C.
“Annie is the best person I could ever ask for to watch my cat when I’m gone. She’s super experienced with cats and particularly FIV+ cats which reassured me. Not only would she go above and beyond with food, water, and litter maintenance, but she spent time cuddling and playing with my cat as if he were her own. 100000% recommend her for your cat”

13. Steven P.
“Steven took amazing care of my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend! I recommend him 100% for any pet care needs. Steven came over beforehand to meet my shy dog and to pet my cat with a big personality—he was so respectful and made sure he understood their routines. While I was gone Steven sent adorable pictures of my fur babies and he really understood their needs. Steven was great with my senior dog who really needs a gentle person to take care of him, and he even made sure he got his daily vitamins. Steven also made my cat feel loved and cared for (he’s a needy kitty). It’s a relief to know that Steven can care my pets when I leave town—he’s professional, courteous, and a kind person to work with.”
14. Mackenzie S.

“I’m very happy that I chose Maria. She is responsible - always comes in time, does everything I asked for. She sent me report and pictures every day. My cat just loves her. So do I.”
16. Victoria M.
“Victoria’s warm disposition, sincere interest in my bun baby, and willingness to learn put me at ease. While I was away, she took great care of my bun, and was very communicative. I appreciate her work and her attentiveness and look forward to having her petsit again!”
17. Nyla S.
About: I own a chocolate lab i’ve raised him since he was a puppy he’s now 2 years old and is a very good boy but at the end of the day he’s still a silly lab. I’m a student so I have a lot of free time in between classes and on the weekends to walk/ care for your dog 🐕 I’m very gentle and will take your dog on long walks, play with them all day nap with them and do anything you want me to do with them!
18. Yimiao L.
“Yimiao took great care of my cats while I was away! This was my first time having a car sitter and she put all my anxiety to rest by sending pictures and updates about how they were doing. She even came by before the appointment and I walked through their routine and favorite toys, hiding places, etc. while she was picking up keys.”
19. Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn was so amazing with my kitties!! I would consider myself a fairly concerned pet parent and I always worry about my babies when I’m away, but Kaitlyn made me feel soo much better. She is extremely kind and conscientious and gives very detailed notes and photos! It is clear that she is very thoughtful in her visits and a true animal lover! Thank you!!”
20. Jess M.
“Jess is my first call when I need someone to watch my pets. She is fabulous with my 8 year old pug Pomeranian & 13 year old cat. She sends lot of photos & gives me constant updates at my request. She is great & I highly recommend!”
