“Rodney is a true professional. Every drop-in visit is consistent and reliable. He treats my two puppies with care and patience, and I can fully trust him in my home. What sets Rodney apart is his communication—he always sends detailed updates with photos and candid feedback that help me reinforce my puppies training. I am very thankful to find someone I can trust for my puppies.”


“Perfect! My cat Sophie just loved Ms. Mary! Sophie doesn't normally go to anyone.. I felt very very comfortable knowing Ms. Mary Was going to check on her for me. I would call Ms. Mary again in the future!!”



“Jasmine was super sweet to the babies and gave them lots of lovings. One of my dogs had an accident in her kennel, and she very kindly cleaned it up when she let them out. Would definitely use her again.”


“Where do we even begin? Lauren has been an absolute blessing for us and our furry family members. From the moment we met her, her kind-hearted nature shone through, putting both us and our older dogs instantly at ease. Lauren's punctuality is impeccable, and her dedication to her responsibilities is unmatched. But beyond her reliability, it's her genuine love and care for our dogs that truly sets her apart. Watching her interact with them, it's clear she has a special connection with animals, especially our older ones who require a bit more attention and tenderness. Lauren, we cannot thank you enough for the peace of mind you provided us! You're not just a dog sitter, you're a true friend to our family, and we're endlessly grateful for you.”


“Ana was amazing and all my fur babies loved her!! She took great care of them and gave me a wonderful peace of mind while I was away from them. I will definitely be using her again!”
