“Hannah is always so great with my animals. She is very punctual with her time and friendly to converse with. I am thankful I have someone I can trust with my pets. I love all the pictures she sends of my animals!!”
“Jessica came to our home for a drop-in visit to feed and care for our spoiled doggos when we had a family emergency. Everything went perfectly. She followed directions, she was on time, and she sent photos and feedback. We have a reactive senior pup on a medication schedule, and she’s usually slow to warm up to new people, but she quickly bonded with Jessica and that’s really the most important thing. If my dogs trust her, so do I. In fact we’ve already booked again. We are grateful to have found Jessica; you (and your pets) will be too. Highly recommend.”

We absolutely loved having Shayla watch our pup, Dolly! She dropped in twice a day and always made sure Dolly was happy and cared for. She sent lots of sweet pictures and updates, and even asked thoughtful questions to make sure she was doing everything just right. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dolly was in such good hands. Shayla is kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. 5/5, highly recommend!
Rosalia from day one of request had great communication and was so thankful for availability for last minute need. Came and checked on our cat and tried to get her to play even though our cat is very reluctant to. Definitely will use again hopefully.
I had used Abbie once before and for this second visit, my two girls remembered her and got the zoomies asap due to excitement seeing her. I prefer stay at home visits for my dogs and have the upmost trust in her/she is very timely with her check ins.
