Lian is awesome! My cats are very particular and she has been really patient and sweet with them. She also gives medicine really well, which is great considering one of my cats takes a pharmacy's worth of meds throughout the day. She is also very communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Lian and so do my cats!

Jillian was wonderful taking care of my dig Cara and two cats while we were on vacation. She left the place very clean and was extremely diligent in taking care of our furbabies and even sent some terrific photos to make us happy! I am sad she won't be able to walk during the day anymore but will certainly keep her in mind for a late afternoon walk or weekends in the future as well as definitely rebooking her for our next vacation! She is a wonderful pet sitter.

Jasmine took great care of Beaux and our house, and sent lots of photos. She was very responsive and caring from the very beginning. Typically, our dog is clearly mad at us when we return from being away. This time, he was clearly relaxed and feeling secure when we got home, which was such a great feeling.

We hired Emily to watch our 2 fur babies, a cavapoo and a shihpoo. Both of them are like our children. Emily watched our little guys in our house for 2 weeks while we went on vacation out of the country. She is polite, considerate, and most importantly trustworthy. She left our house in the same condition as we gave it to her. She kept us updated on our babies' status via photos and texts through Whatsapp. Our boys we well cared for and it was a relief having Emily stay in our home so our boys would be as comfortable as possible during our absence. We highly recommend hiring Emily as a dog sitter if you ever need one, we will.

Christian is amazingly loving and caring w animals. There is nothing he won’t do for an animal. He is crazy about dogs and dogs are crazy about him, he will lay on the floor with them and play with them for long periods at a time. My dog, Baby, is crazy about Christian. As soon as he parks his car in front of my house she begins to cry of happiness. I highly recommend Christian to take care of anyones pets. Best, Sandy

Kassie was the definition of above and beyond. She did a meet and greet with me, my daughter and our pups the weekend before my trip and made sure she was familiar with all the quirks of my crazy huskies. She was super communicative, sent so many pictures and videos and kept me informed the entire time I was away. She was prompt, respect and so kind and left my house even cleaner than I did when I left. I would not hesitate at all to recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Kassie!!

I was very nervous about leaving my dog Mysa and my senior cat Coffee to travel abroad. Hardy was great house sitting and taking care of both of them, including being attentive to their feeding habits, play time and monitoring the home. Would definitely recommend Hardy as an attentive caregiver.
