Abby W.
“Abby is my niece and ever since she was little she has always loved animals. Her first pet was a rabbit named Shadow whom she adored and gave such devoted such care to. She created an amazing environment for Shadow with lots of space and toys to play with. She also provided the same love and care to her hamster, and most recently to her beloved dog Taffy. Abby ensures that the animals in her care receive the best of everything from their environment to their food to their, to their toys, and spends a lot of time loving on them as well.

Ellen G.
“I met Ellen a few years ago when I hired her to cat sit for me, and from that very first experience, I knew I had found someone truly special. Ellen has such a kind, nurturing, and genuinely friendly presence—it’s something you feel the moment you meet her. My cat has always been extremely timid around new people, usually taking days to warm up, if at all. But with Ellen, something was different. Incredibly, my cat opened up to her within the first day. That kind of connection doesn’t happen often, and it spoke volumes about Ellen’s gentle and trustworthy nature. She is attentive, reliable, and truly cares for the animals she looks after. Because of her, I’m able to travel without a shred of anxiety, knowing my pet is not just cared for, but genuinely loved while I’m away. Ellen is a rare find, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“I have first hand experience with Ms.Tara. She saved my fish tank and fish lives. She inspected, diagnosed, cleaned and educated me about the do and don't of maintaining a healthy tank.

She is an awesome giver of positive energy and peace. I highly recommend Tara to take care of anyone pets.”
