Lauren did a great job taking care of my pup, who is very shy and anxious. Lauren was patient and gentle and allowed time for my pup to warm up. She sent lots of updates so I had peace of mind while I was away.

I chose Matt because I had read his reviews and he lived up to the reputation! I think dogs are a good judge of character and she warmed up to him immediately upon his first visit to meet her. I had plans to leave the country and needed to feel like my pup was in good hands and well cared for. She has some special needs and Matt made sure she received the care she required. I loved the updates, pictures and videos Matt sent, all which helped me know she was happy and healthy. She even is jumping on people less! He somehow taught her to stop this annoying behavior and I need to find out how he did this!! I definitely would recommend him!

Thank you, Richard, for taking such good care of my shy, skittish cat and looking after the house. She was clearly happier that you were with her while I was away. I really appreciated the progress reports and pictures while I was gone.

Sarah was an absolute lifesaver! Our thanksgiving sitter was arriving late and we needed someone to help out for a day. Sarah not only picked up Tommy and watched him all day, but also stayed up late for my sister to come pick him up. Thank you so much for all of your help, Sarah! We will definitely be booking again.

Kim was incredible. I was in the hospital and everything had to be coordinated through my daughter. Kim sent tons of pictures and she was there for Gemma when she had a seizure. She went over and above moving boxes that were delivered for me. My daughter loved working with her so I knew we were in good hands. Anyone needing pet care will be lucky to have her.

About: I have experience training both kittens and puppies with the basics (litter box, sit, stay, etc.) I've been told I am the "most patient" person with animals, and I would agree. There is no pet too rambunctious for me. I have a class schedule during the week, but I am more than happy to adjust my schedule however I can to meet yours and your pet's needs. For visits, I can play with them and their favorite toys if you provide them. I can provide my own toys if needed. Also, I can take them out for walks around your neighborhood or drive them to a field to play if allowed. If there are any specifics, please feel free to reach out and I'll be happy to accommodate!

Cathryn is wonderful! She works in a veterinary hospital for her day job and handles pets of all kinds. She has been great the times she has watched my dog Brody and he is always sad to see her go! Anyone would be lucky to have Cathryn watch their dog for them!

Brielle has watched Frank multiple times and is a wonderful dog sitter. I always feel at ease when I am away knowing Frank is being loved for and cared to just like he was with me. She is very easy to communicate with and sends constant updates and pictures so I dont miss him too much. Frank is always excited to see Brielle again and even gets sad for a short time when I pick him up. She conducts herself in a very professional manner and I would highly recommend her for anyone feeling a little worried about leaving your little one behind. 5/5 STARS!!!!
