“Played with our cat the whole time every day she went for a visit. She even went above and beyond by helping with the litter box. we will definitely ask Mary for drop-in visits in the future.”


“What an amazing experience I had with her. She was very responsive to your questions and needs. My dog loved her. She was very punctual and kept me informed at all times. We definitely be our go to sitter for Bruno.”


“I don’t even know where to begin. Lauren is a true gift. She went above and beyond and truly cared about my pets. When I returned home from my trip, is what as though I’d never left and I believe it’s because they had Lauren. She is responsive, uber kind, conscientious, and can take care of the complexity of multiple pets (2 cats and 1 dog). She walked my dog every day, fed the three of them in a specific way since one has food allergies, and loved on them. I am just so, so grateful for this wonderful human. Thank you so, so much, Lauren. ❤️”

Mackenzie B.
“Mackenzie is absolutely fantastic with my dog Arrow. Each time she takes care of her I know Arrow is in good hands and will be treated very well. My dog has a lot of energy and can be more on the anxious side once I leave her, but she quickly warms up to Kenzie and has no problems at all. I highly recommend Kenzie to anyone looking for a dog lover who will treat your pet like her own.”
