1. Lexie M.

“Lexi was exceptional. Kept us updated, sent pics and played with our Great Pyrenees. She was very kind and personable. On our initial meet and greet she she’d a lot of questions so she could be well prepared. She was a delight to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!”


2. Megan C.
“Megan loves all pets and they know it. She is very good with our dog and cats. She helps them even when they are being contrary. Our cats can be a handful but she is very good with them. I will always have her take care of our pets.”


3. Kassidy D.


“Kassidy took great care of our pup! She even left us a cute little note before she left after her last drop in visit. We would definitely book Kassidy again as our pet sitter!”


4. Emily C.


“Emily did a great job with our very active puppy. She stayed in touch with us and kept us very informed during her stay. We had outside construction that made a dirty mess of our yard and she had to deal with the mess and keeping the dog out of the mess. I am sure it wasn’t easy or fun. She adjusted and didn’t complain. Our house looked great and our puppy was well taken care of.”


5. Daiannie V.


“Daiannie is the best, so very reliable and kind. She keeps us updated and send pictures of our Lola. Believe me, Lola is tough to get trust from but Daiannie did it in a short time, dogs know people and we are glad to have found her.”


6. Whitney M.

“Whitney stayed with our Great Dane for a second time and was amazing! We got a video each day along with photos. She also took care of my kid’s reptiles. She is super responsive and kind. I’ll continue to use her when we go away! The best :)”

9. Alexus H.

“Alexus has been so helpful with drop-ins and dogsitting for our pup, Zelda, this summer! She is reliable, communicative, and Zelda loves her! Alexus doesn't mind helping with some of Zelda's special needs, and she sends lots of updates and pictures from her visits. We will definitely book her again!”


10. Nate D.

“Nate did an excellent job watching our 1yr old GSD Pita for the weekend. Pita got care and attention, and tons of time outside with Lando. When we arrived back to pick her up, she was excited to see us but clearly had a great weekend while we were away.”


11. Micaela H.

“Micaela was wonderful with my Theo from start to finish. I felt more than comfortable with her staying with him while I was away for the evening but it was so nice to see updates and photos throughout when I was able to check my phone. Gave me peace of mind so that I could focus on the event I was at. Follows instructions as noted. I highly recommend Micaela and will definitely be using her again. 😊”


12. Reghyn W.
“Reghyn Wilson loves animals. She has two dogs of her own and works to teach them the things they need to learn. She always makes sure they are fed, have plenty of water, watches to make sure they're safe in whatever they do and makes sure they're happy and healthy. Reghyn would make you and your family pets feel safe and cared for.”


13. Rylee B.
“Rylee works well with animals. She saved over 80 kittens and found homes for each and every one of them. She had to bottle feed them because their mother wouldn't feed them. She loves animals and is going to college to become a zoologist to work with zoo animals.”


14. Cede S.
“I have been a good friend with Cede for about five years now. Every single year since we have become friends she has watched my dog and taken care of my two cats when I went on vacation. I would highly recommend Cede to anyone in need of animal care because she definitely is an animal lover and has a passion to work with animals.”

17. Tara F.

“Tara provided great cat, plant, and house care. She did what I asked, and I returned to a happy, calm cat and a house that looked like I'd been gone for 4 hours rather than 4 days. Recommended. 👍👍”


18. Maureen R.
“Maureen has cared for a wide array of pets for both me and my family, ranging from an insulin-dependent, diabetic Puggle to a giant Great Dane. Maureen is great with all animals and will take amazing care of any pet - cat or dog, large or small, young or old. My family is so thankful to have someone like Maureen that we can fully trust to provide such great care to all of our pets while we are away.”


19. Alexia D.
“Alexia D. Has cared for my dogs for the last 2 years. She started off with walks and playtime at the park. She eventually turned into my go to for our vacations and I know they are safe and not stuck in a kennel. She plays with them, exercises them. She follows special instructions for their feedings and my dogs get upset when they haven’t seen her in awhile. Of course I don’t want to share this gem but that would be selfish. She is a responsible young lady who has a love for animals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
