Madeline was fantastic with my dear old dog. The photos she sent during her time taking care of him were very thoughtful. He was very relaxed when I returned home, clear evidence that he was well cared for.

Grace did an amazing job with my boys (cats), they warmed up to her quickly and seemed happy and relaxed when I got back after 2 weeks away. Grace sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away from my babies. She also spent time to keep my cats mentally stimulated by playing with them, and she kept the feeding area and litter box very clean! I highly recommend Grace!

Natalie has watched my dog and cat multiple times. My dog is a difficult puppy and normally doesn't like people, but seeing Natalie is exciting for her. It's like having a friend come over! She cares for all of her needs and takes special time to make sure she's safe on walks around other dogs. She medicates her when she needs it too!

Hans is very loving with my two cats and I feel completely at ease leaving them in his care. He seems to have a special rapport with them and is able to coax my shy one out. Hans is certified in pet Reiki and that is something he’s happy to provide as a bonus. The cats seem to respond favorably. Hans is very dependable and good at keeping in touch with me. He will do whatever is asked and he genuinely seems to love animals. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Cindy did an absolutely fantastic job as a cat sitter for our sometimes difficult Claude!! She was very professional and responsive to set up our first meeting, and then did a great job with him while she was here. She sent cute photos and videos, cleaned his litter, put up with some July 4 animal stress, and even proactively identified and resolved a potential concern. On top of all this, she managed a somewhat complicated security system without a hitch and was unfazed by our house being partially under renovation. We will 100% hire Cindy again if we can, and we would strongly recommend her services!

Sarah was great! She was able to speak on the phone with me beforehand which really calmed my nerves before leaving my cat for the first time. She sent so many pictures and played with him the entire time.

My shy kitty warmed up to Hyazinth and seemed to have had a great time! Hyazinth provided daily updates and cute pictures so I was very reassured everything was going well. They followed all my instructions and also moved in a package that was delivered while I was away. Thank you!
