“Such a wonderful and competent sitter. Jen and her family are the most heartwarming people and they go out of their way to care for your baby. You will not find a better sitter where your baby is treated as one of the family when you have to be gone! Ever! How lucky are we to have people like Jenevieve in this world?! So grateful. She acted like we were gifting her by leaving our crazy cat that we have had for a month with her. Carrie is the happiest and best version of herself I have ever seen after Jen’s care!”


“Clare was amazing with our girl. She sent photos and updates. Was willing to be patient with Daphne with it being her first ever trip away from home and being an older dog she can be standoff ish and temperamental. She was great with making sure Daphne got her medication and found ways to make Daphne feel at home with the cold weather and quick walks. We’d definitely hire Clare again.”


“Jessica was great with our dog Louie, loved the pics and vids during his stay. Booking and communication was easy and efficient. Highly Recommended, and many Thanks!”


“Samantha took excellent care of our pup! Communication was great before and during his stay. We appreciated the regular pictures and updates. It was clear he was well loved during his stay. We look forward to having Samantha watch him again!”


“I knew Debora was the right person to care for Cindy when I brought her to Debora's house to introduce the two of them. Debora had taken steps ahead of time to insure that Cindy did not get into an unsafe situation. Debora understands that a healthy cat cannot resist an open door of any kind. Debora let Cindy explore. She recognized Cindy's reactions to this unfamiliar environment. Debora was relaxed and patient. She quickly understood Cindy's personality. Debora was thorough in asking about Cindy's health. Debora is alert to nuances in behavior that may indicate a health issue in a cat. When I picked up Cindy after this her first stay, Debora commented on Cindy's vigorous, even startling, purring. Yes, that is Cindy when she is contented. I am pleased to have found such a fine caregiver for Cindy. I have already booked for two more stays with more coming up. Thank you, Debora!”



“This is our second time using Cliff to care for our puppy and he is great! Very responsive, sent us pictures and updates and genuinely loves dogs. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”


“Patty is great! It’s easy to leave our dog with her because we know she will be well taken care of and happy. Patty is very responsive, and provides updates and pictures to let you know how things are going. I will for sure seek her out again the next time we need someone to watch our dog.”


“My Lola had such a good time, and I got so many fun pictures of all of her and her friends getting to play! Scott and Jess sent her home with puppy cookies and they are just such a wonderful people. I didn’t have one worry the entire weekend when she was there with them! Highly recommend!”



“Sherilynn was great. We did a meet and greet and then set up the visit time for drop off and pick up. She kept me informed on Kira’s visit and how everything was going. Will definitely use her again.”

“Jessica and Scott treated our fur baby like he was one of their own! They were able to squeeze us in for a nine day stay after a different provider was unresponsive. They gave us a helpful list of items to bring and made drop off anxiety free for pup (& mom)! Reese loved being able to play outside all day and to meet new friends. Jessica communicated with us multiple times a day and provided updates on how our boy was doing! We knew he was in great hands every step of the way! We absolutely recommend Jessica and Scott and will be returning customers!”



“Alok is a gem! He took our pup on short notice and was so good with Merlin. He has a clean house with lots of toys. He has a large fenced in yard and sends pictures and videos daily. I 100% recommend Alok!”


“Lara and Cary provided Bear the home away from home that he needed while we were away. Lara sent pictures of Bear reassuring us that he was the king of the castle at yet another house. They enjoyed him and pampered him. Quite a treat for our older dog who can be a bit grumpy with his new playful younger sister, Sadie Mae.”


“Amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the care that Elyssa provided during my dog’s stay. Frequent updates with pictures and videos that were so cute. I know my Augie had a great stay and made some new friends.”


“Lucinda watched our dog, Apollo for a night and had a great time. He was immediately relaxed and made himself at home— didn’t even care that we left haha! She sent pictures and we would easily use her again. Highly recommend!”

Hayley & Zach K.
“Hayley looked after my two cats while I was away, and I was very pleased with the care she provided. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly experienced with cats. Both of mine can be a bit shy around new people, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. She kept everything tidy, followed feeding instructions carefully, and even took the time to play with them and send me a few updates. It was reassuring to know they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful cat sitter.”
