“Ethel and Clay were awesome sitters for my dogs, Diesel and Murphy! Diesel is a senior now, so I am very particular about who watches him. Murphy is still a puppy so he is high energy. Ethel was able to meet both of their needs - she was very detail oriented about Diesel’s medications and limitations in walking, but she was also to accommodate for my much younger dog’s need for mental stimulation and exercise. I felt extremely comfortable with my dogs being there for a full week. 11/10 would use her again in a heart beat!”

Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. It was obvious that he took the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs, which helped them feel comfortable and relaxed. I especially appreciated how responsive he was and how proactive he were in keeping us informed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, I highly recommend Zachary. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur babies! 🐾💕”

Kourtney was wonderful! Her home is the perfect setup for hosting dogs, and mine absolutely loved her large, fenced backyard. She was communicative both before and throughout their stay, providing daily updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. She was also flexible and understanding with drop-off and pickup times, which I appreciated. I recommend Kourtney to anyone looking for a great place for their dogs to stay!

Best pet sitter around. My pup absolutely loves going to see Airlea and I don’t have to worry about bit if he is being taken care of. She sends pictures and videos throughout the day so I can see how much fun my dog is having. Half the time he isn’t ready to leave and wants to stay with her lol. If you are looking for a wonderful sitter for your 4 legged family, she is the one!!
