I wanted to share how fantastic Julie is as a pet sitter. She has taken care of my cat twice now and I couldn't be happier with her services. During her visits, Julie takes the time to play with my cat, give her lots of attention and cuddles, and make sure she's well-fed and comfortable. I never have to worry about my cat when I'm away, because I know she's in good hands with Julie. I highly recommend Julie's pet sitting services to anyone who needs a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She's absolutely wonderful!

Amanda is an amazing cat sitter!! I used Amanda before the pandemic and remembered her well and how well she had taken care of them. I was delighted when she remembered us and could take care of them again. It is a relief to have someone who actually enjoys your pets take care of them. The 3 of them have different food likes and she took care of all of that and gave me daily updates and pictures which is a load off your mind when you’re on vacation. I highly recommend Amanda as a pet sitter and I would use her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Amanda!
