Lori was on time and my pets loved her!! She was super friendly and even wanted hugs from my dog when she came to drop off the key because she said he gave her the best goodbye hug. I thought that was so sweet! He’s an old dog but so loving and he knows he’s so cute. Haha. Thank you Lori!! Highly recommend!

Shelly took great care of all our critters. She communicated consistently, and took plenty of pictures so we could see how happy and healthy they were.

Monica was absolutely amazing! Our cat Nala escaped prior to us leaving and was gone for 6 days before we found her. She only had 2 days with us before we left town. Monica was so incredibly understanding with Nala’s extra needs while we were away. We needed to adjust our schedule to have her come daily and Monica was quick to adjust for us. It made me feel so much more at ease knowing Monica was there to check in on her. She always stayed the allotted 30 minutes and was patient with Nala even when Nala didn’t want to be bothered. Monica sent an amazing report card with pictures, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving her behind after returning home from her big adventure. We can’t wait to use Monica again!

Kassy did a great job with my Labrador. My furry friend has a fenced yard and is rarely on a leash. Kassy took the time to get her used to her harness before walking her.

My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.

We added an extra visit on the night we came home - the puppies were all taken care of so we could just settle in and relax with them after a late flight back. Christina did an amazing job the whole week!

Chelsie was so amazing! I had a medical issue come up and had to change our plans and she was understanding. I also read her report and she comforted Charlie during my absence which made me feel so much better!

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

Lisa was fantastic with our kitties! We came home to two very happy and well-cared cats. Prior to booking, Lisa met us and our cats at our apartment and was very attentive to us describe our cats routines and behaviors. During the booking Lisa provided detailed updates and pictures from her drop-ins to leave our minds at ease while we were gone for the holidays. We highly recommend her for any of your cat-sitting needs and will definitely be using Lisa again for future drop-in needs for our cats!

Jessica watched our three dogs several times. She was great with communicating throughout the process. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and Jessica was super patient with her…by the time we came home from our trip they were best friends! I highly recommend Jessica for anyone looking for a super kind and patient pet sitter!
