1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Yasmin M.
“Yasmin was amazing with my dog Susie! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of. Great communication and so kind! I’ll definitely use her again 😊”
3. Emily P.
“Emily was great with our three pugs while we were traveling! She was patient and able to accommodate all of our requests for the pups’ schedules and routines. We are grateful for her help and the care she gave our sweet fur babies!”
4. Allison G.
“Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.”

11. Andrea M.
“Highly recommend!! Andrea has stayed are our house two times for long weekends and watched our 14 year old Pitbull who can't go to dog parks or really be around other dogs. She gave him his medication which is about 8 pills and tried different things to get him to eat. She stayed in constant contact with me and left our house spotless. We already scheduled her for another weekend in August.”
12. Nathan P.
“Nathan did a great job with our two cats over the long weekend despite it being pretty last minute from us! Tried his best to win them over but they're a fickle crew. Would happily ask him again for future cat visits.”

15. Molly B.
“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”

18. Charlie H.
About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.
19. AnneMarie D.
“AnneMarie did an awesome job house sitting and taking care of our very shy cat! Super communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”
20. Priscilla H.
“Oh gosh where to start! She was amazing. Definitely wore the boys out which they LOVED. She even left the boys some toys and treats. Would definitely use Pricilla again!”
