Sophie was so great with our dog and two cats. On short notice she came ready to house sit. We had to run out the door and just had a few minutes to get her situated. She was a total pro! She regularly sent us photos of our pets, and was very communicative. We would absolutely have her back any time.

Meredith took care of our house, car, and hens for 3 nights. She was great. Very professional. Took great care of the cat and the hens and the house was left in perfect condition. I highly recommend her.

Jessilyn was a super pet sitter! I am very particular about who I leave Bella with. Jessilyn put me right at ease the minute I met her. She was responsible, competent, and sensitive. She kept me updated with photos and text, and my anxious Bella was totally relaxed with her, and happy and content when I returned home. I was able to totally enjoy my grandkids without worry or stress. I highly recommend her!

Jaelyn is the best pet parent I know. She is trustworthy and caring and your fur babies will love her! We don't trust many people to care for our dogs, but we know when Jaelyn comes to take care of them they are safe and comfortable.

Stephanie was great with my cats who are very needy. She was great about sending me pictures and updates of how they were doing and made sure they were kept on the schedule they are used to and made sure my cat got his medication every 12 hours. I felt very comfortable leaving them and will definitely book again!

We had a sitter that had to cancel in the middle of her stay and Teri stepped right in and took care of everything. She had great communication with us and showed how great our dogs were doing. When we came home the house was in great shape and the dogs were doing fantastic! I will be using Teri again in the future.

I have known James for twenty five years and I am happy to recommend him as a dog walker or sitter. He loves taking care of dogs and dogs respond in kind. He spends time with his own family dog who is loved and cherished. James will make pets in his care very happy! He is trustworthy and responsible. I fully endorse James as a dog walker/sitter.

I can personally speak for Courtney in saying that she is a very kind caring young lady. She has volunteered at the Cape animal shelter for over 8 years and has shown great care for all dogs , big and small. She is very dependable and you can count on her to take great care of your animal.

Elaine cared for our cats on multiple occasions, for shorter and longer periods. Besides doing the essentials, Elaine always spent extra time to play with them, brush them, and just hang out. She took care to learn the habits and quirks of our pets. I wish we still lived near each other. Elaine is an animal lover and I recommend her wholeheartedly as a responsible, kind, and generous pet caregiver.

Sophia is an amazing pet-sitter! My cats tend to get into trouble whenever I travel for work, so she’s been an absolute lifesaver. I was nervous to leave my pets with a stranger, but they were instantly so comfortable around her. Even my shy cat (who usually hides from guests) came out to greet her. She’s also a great communicator and was willing to work with my complicated schedule. If you need someone to look after your kitty, Sophia is a great choice!

Carolyn was so great to work with! She came over twice before her stay to meet us and make sure our dog felt comfortable with her. She took such good care of our pets and sent so many pictures and updates while we were away. We came home to two very happy pets! We would highly recommend Carolyn and will definitely be using her again 😁

Kailee is outstanding with dogs. She has 2 Bernese Mountain dogs in the family, and she is always involved in the care of the dogs, feeding, walking. I highly recommend Kailee, she has a very friendly, calm demeanor that dogs enjoy being around her.

William is an incredibly kind, generous and caring man. His love for animals and gentle good nature emanate from William the moment you meet him. My two dogs were clearly well loved an cared for in the time I was gone. Every day he provided photo and status to updates his love and care was much appreciated! William also returned my home in better condition then it was left to him. Everything was immaculate! He even provided some new treats for my dogs to enjoy! I recommend him very highly and feel blessed to have met William. I will certainly be using William again and would recommend him to all of my closest friends and family!!!
