Lori was wonderful! Very communicative and easy to work with, she did a great job with checking in on my boys and providing updates and pictures; I felt so comfortable being away knowing she was there. 10/10 and I will definitely be booking Lori again when I am traveling.

Monica was great! Such a relief to get detailed updates on my cat each day as I was away on vacation. She took excellent care of him and made sure our place was clean when she left (litter box + carpet spot cleanings, plus she watered our plants). She's very sweet and you can tell a natural animal lover. I would definitely book her again!

Jeremy did a great job with our dog. He sent pictures with every visit and Max was well fed, watered and walked. Thank you, Jeremy, we will hire you again when we need someone to watch Max.

I have known Cory and his spouse for a long time. They are caring, loving, a sweet couple. Both love and care for their animals as if they were their children. They are hardworking and strive to give 100 percent to anything that they are working at. I would trust them with my own sweet dog and my very life.

I absolutely recommend Nichelle to work with dogs of any sort. I know Nichelle to be loving and doting and VERY protective of animals particularly with dogs. I personally have left my dog with her occasionally and enjoyed seeing her interact with dogs, especially to be noted is that she has a big beautiful warmth about her that attracts neighbors and pets. Please consider her as a candidate for a position with your company, she will bring warm and love to any pet in her care. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at (845 ) 649-9854 Sincerely, Kelly Cahill

Kayla is very easy to work with. She is very patient and plays with our young puppy when she comes over. She sends a cute picture every time, and is helping us teach basic commands to our rescue dog. I would definitely recommend booking Kayla to watch your animals.
