Rose did great taking care of our pups while we were gone for a couple weeks! She stayed at our house and sent us regular updates on how things were going and photos. She made sure the little things around the house kept going in our absence as well. She even went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a clean house! I know our dogs were in great hands and enjoyed her while she was here!

Jessica is great! Our pup has separation anxiety and she goes above and beyond to make him happy while we are away. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again and I highly recommend her services.

We hired Jessica for the first time to pet/house sit our 11 year old golden retriever. She was excellent! She came over prior to meet us and our dog. She communicates well, giving us updates 2-3 times/day; she sent lots of adorable pictures as well! She washed her sheets/towels (without being instructed to) and left the house neat and tidy. Our dog seemed happy when we returned. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her in the future.

Andrea took fantastic care of my pug! He's older with some minor health issues, and she made sure to pay close attention to his necessary medications. She gave him plenty of love while I was gone and made sure he was well taken care of.

Lisa has been cat sitting for me for over 30 years. She treats my cats as though they are her own. She has a lot of great experience with cats and dogs and is comfortable playing with them and caring for them. She has been a really good cat sitter for me whenever I’m away. She sends me pics of my kitties and that helps so much. I’ve had kittens and older cats over the years and she’s done great with them all.
