"Donna-Marie was an AMAZING catsitter. She took care of our cats for a week and we couldn't have imagined someone better for our quite shy babies. She doesn't only show up to take care of your cats' basic necessities (food, water, litter)- she goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable in her care. We really saw how much time and energy she put into every one of her visits, taking time to play with them, talk to them, and earn her trust. We received lots of pictures and videos every single day which put us at ease as we've never been away from them for this long. I could not recommend her higher for anyone who is in need of cat care!"

"Ariadna is gorgeous and took great care of our rather humongous rag doll cat Bowie! She kept us posted of his antics and clearly we could tell he was well cared for and loving his visits. Thanks Ariadna - will happily rebook and refer you to our friends and family 😻"

"Carolina helped me to take care my cat in early May, she is patient, reliable and has a great communication skills. While I was away, Carolina makes sure my cat has a good care, she sent my pics of my cat and communicated with me in a detailed way. Carolina is also very flexible which is great for someone who is looking for an urgent care for their furry baby. I strongly recommend Carolina and will book her next time 🙂🙂"

"Jia was an incredible cat sitter! She was so sweet, communicative and took the absolute best care of my cat. She sent me so many great videos and pictures so it felt like I wasn't gone at all. I can very happily and highly recommend Jia if you are looking for a reliable and caring friend to look after your pets 😇"

"This was the second time Gerardine has looked after my cat while I'm away and I couldn't be happier with her as a sitter. She sent updates every day with not only messages but multiple pictures. I am a worrier when I go away but her passion for animals and care for my cat shone though - I have never felt more comfortable leaving my cat in someone else's care. If you're looking for a wonderful, attentive pet sitter look no further."

"We had an amazing experience with Camila&Carlos. They took such great care of our Pixy, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. We received regular updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned, which says a lot about the care they received. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter! Thank you again guys!"

"Capucine & Declan are incredible pet sitters! They go above and beyond. They took care of all 3 of our animals while overseas, 2 visits a day and dog walking: sent me photos every visit updating me on each of the animals. Cleaned the areas each animal uses and maintained the cleanliness of the entire house. We extended our holiday and kept them on without any worry or concern for our animals. This couple is a dynamic duo, reliable, honest, kind & a true power pet sitting force. Will use this duo every time we go away or for extra walks when needed. You won’t regret using this duo!! "

"Jessica is truly a gem! She took care of our two cats, Brick and Xander, while we were away for two weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, Jessica was incredibly reliable, responsible, and communicative—qualities that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear right away that she has a natural way with animals. Xander can be a little shy around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately, which says a lot! Brick, our more affectionate cat, absolutely adored her too. Jessica kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, and we could tell the cats were happy and comfortable in her care. We came home to two relaxed, well-loved kitties and a perfectly tidy home. Jessica went above and beyond, and we feel so lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets. Brick and Xander are already looking forward to her next visit!"

"I've used Chris' service for cat sitting my 2 cats in multiple visits for close to 30 days in total since the start of the year. I find her to be a great and prompt communicator. My cats have grown very fond of her and she won over my shy girl cat. I would continue to use her service and high recommend her to others! "
