“Thank you Megan for staying at our home and taking such good care of our furkids while we were away for a long weekend. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable.”


2. Brandi E.

“Brandi was great. She was quick to respond, showed up on time and took great care of our puppy.”


3. Hailey J.

“Hailey is AWESOME! She took care of our pups for a 3 night plus one more night due to weather delays. She was quick to add a 4th night at the drop of a hat! We felt at ease having her stay in our home and hang with the girls, putting our minds at ease. She sent us a few pictures while we were away and text messages were responded to in a timely fashion. We will definitely have her help/stay again in the future. We appreciated her great personality, confidence and experience with pet care along with respecting us, our dogs and our home.”


4. Eva L.
“We are truly blessed to have Eva nearby as someone we can trust to care and love on our dog when we travel. Our dog is a big part of our family, and we treat him as such. When we travel, we want someone to take him in as one of their own and Eva does just that. She has grown up loving on her own dogs at home and knows exactly how important it is to care for Sully as one of her own. She also does great checking in with pictures and videos. I sometimes think our dog is disappointed to see us come home as he has so much fun with Eva! She is extremely responsible and one to trust when you need someone to take care of your pets. Highly recommend!”


5. Bailey K.

“Bailey did a fabulous job house sitting our two dogs. They are normally needy and wound up tight when they come back from the kennel. She kept them busy and they have been calm and happy as clams, almost like I didn’t leave them! We’ll definitely use Bailey to dog sit as often as we can!”


6. Heather K.

“We left our 10 month old puppy Tux with Heather this weekend she is very friendly and we appreciated her keeping us up to date by texting us pictures of our puppy as it was so hard to leave him. We had a terrific experience and we would definitely use Heather in the future.”


7. Zoe F.
“Zoe is very competent with caring for animals. She has experience with both cats and dogs. She is good at following exactly what a particular pets’ specific needs are. She grew up with pets in her home and had a lot of responsibility in taking care of them.”


8. Ayden B.
“Ayden is a Very good animal taker when it comes to caring for dogs and her horse she is able to do easy tasks like give the dogs, food and water when necessary. She is really good about making sure the dogs get exercise and she’s super loving with the animals and will play with them when you did and she all around has joy and compassion for animals no matter what breed or what type of animal”
