1. Marilyn S.
“Marilyn was absolutely amazing. Very kind and caring, sent photos and always responded to any text messages. She took great care of our cat. We chose Marilyn because she is a retired nurse and our cat is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. We would definitely use her again and refer her to her others in need of pet care. Thanks Marilyn!”

“5 Stars - Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of hiring Daniel to take care of my dog , and I couldn’t be happier with the care, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals and has natural way with dogs.

I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”

“It was my first time leaving my dog anywhere I was nervous but Hali was amazing with my pup Leyla.

Definitely will use Hali again to dog sit my Leyla.”

11. James W.
“ames was awesome! Right from the moment I saw Ash, my Pitbull terrier, happily playing with the other dogs in the yard, I knew she was going to have the best time. James made everything super easy by responding to my message right away, which was a huge relief. After our meeting, I knew I could just relax and not worry about constant updates or interruptions—Ash was clearly in great hands! Since her day with James, Ash has been even better behaved and really seems to listen to her commands more. She’s definitely come home a happier and calmer pup! I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention she got, and I’m already looking forward to booking again. Highly recommend James for anyone looking for a fun and smooth experience!”

“Michael is great, very friendly and responsive. He took great care of my dog. He has a small puppy, Russ, and it turns out prefect for Dante and she likes to have companion. I like Michael as he took the dog out frequently and not just staying at home For sure will go back again and ask for Michaels help. ”
17. Hardy R.
“Hardy and his daughter Harmony could not have been more accommodating for Opie's first overnight stay. After a boarding situation I had fell through for my newly adopted Husky mix I needed last minute coverage (about a week out) for a short international trip. Hardy and Harmony were able to accommodate us for an extremely early drop-off because of a flight/airport situation and were super cool about it. I got regular picture and video updates throughout her few day stay, and got to meet and chat with Hardy during pickup. My pup is crate trained and having someone who is able to accommodate that and keep her consistent while I'm away is integral to making sure she stays successful with it. Hardy is super knowledgeable about dogs and thoughtful about who he schedules together to ensure everyone is chill and as the owner of a high energy guardian mix, that gives me a lot of relief knowing my girl won't be on edge the whole time I'm gone. If you're in the area and considering Hardy please do not hesitate to book. He truly takes care of your animals as if they were his own. Also, in my short time with my new pup I haven't seen her half as happy and worn out as she was when I picked her up ... like others reviews have mentioned and I will definitely concur, Hardy is a dog whisperer! Have a wedding coming up in a couple months and am already working with Hardy to rebook because of what a positive, easy and affordable experience we had our first time around. Book with Hardy today, you and your pup will not be disappointed. Thanks again Hardy and Harmony!”

“Michelle is an awesome pet sitter! I got pictures and texts daily. My dogs Rylee and Murphy were well cared for and happy. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
19. Katherine P.
“Katherine P. is Pepper's auntie 🤣🥰. We are always so happy when Katie is available because she really cares for our furdaughter like her own. So happy we found her. ❤👍🏽💐”
