“This was our first experience hiring a pet sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased with Jessalyn! Our pets were very well taken care of! We have already scheduled with her for next month. Thanks, Jessalyn!”
“Sheila was professional and communicative. She understood some of the behavioral challenges we've had either our new rescue pup and reported that the stay went seamlessly. She sent picture updates and provided good feedback. We would use her again and recommend her.”
“Having Kari stay with our cat, Clancy, for 8 days while we were away was fantastic — and such a relief. Kari sent us daily pictures and videos of Clancy so we had a good sense of his contentment and well-being. Kari is so caring about animals and takes her responsibilities to them very seriously. She followed our specific instructions perfectly and we arrived home to a healthy, happy cat! I highly recommend Kari for any pet-sitting need you may have!”
“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Susan was GREAT! She stayed at our house with our 2 furbabies for 5 days. Our girls warmed up to her very quickly (we think they even miss her) and she sent lots of pictures to keep us updated on how they were all doing. The house was clean and tidy (she even stripped and remade the bed!) upon our return. Thank you, Susan!! We will definitely be seeing you again!”
“Shanikka was great! She was a perfect option for our anxious boy who takes meds. I can tell he really did enjoy his time with her and her kid! Shanikka did very well at making sure his needs were met and that we felt reassured while we were gone! We absolutely would book again in the future”
“Brad was fantastic managing our pack of 4 pups! We received frequent pictures & video updates & the house was left pristine. Will definitely be using him again & referring him to friends!”
“Sam was awesome. She was caring and patient with my boy who is scared to death of fireworks and thunder. She showed love and compassion. Sam was respectful of my home and property. She left the house just as I left it. Sam was sure to send me updates and photos during her time with Blue. I am so thankful to have someone I can trust with my beloved fur baby. Highly recommend! Thanks Sam!”
“Sonya was absolutely amazing. She took care of us in a pinch and would recommend her to anyone! She took amazing care of both of our dogs! Even walked them when she didn’t need to. I’d use her again any time.”
