“Cathryn was great. Our dogs were well taken care of, and our house looked just like we left it. We are very happy with her service, and plan to reserve her again!”
2. Ashley R.
“Ashley was wonderful with my pup. She checked in on her multiple times per day, sent me updates and photos from each encounter. Would definitely use her again and again. Its the second time i left my dog home alone for multiple days under Ashley’s care.”
3. Kimberly G.
“Kimberly was AMAZING. She stayed at our house and watched the dogs 7days/6nights and was a total success. Not only did we get daily updates & pics, but she also sent a pic and informed us of a lump she found on one of our pups to let us know. She went above and beyond minimum pet care and even cleaned up and poop scooped. I felt stress free during our trip seeing the pics of our dogs having fun with her. I would hire her again and recommend her in a heartbeat. Our flight was also delayed 6hrs and she was so supportive during a stressful time—Totally jumped in to say she was flexible to be standby should a longer stay arise to make sure our dogs were cared for and got any needed meds as the day went on. Thank you, Kimberly!”

“Omg. Jaime was absolutely amazing. Sent multiple updates through the day of all the snuggles our fur babies were getting! Not sure they want us to come home!! We didn’t have a worry with Jaime watching them and our house!!!”
5. Mya H.
“Mya boarded my 2 dogs for 10 days in my home. She is a kind person and my dogs love her. I could tell they missed her after we came home. They were looking in the spare bedroom where she stayed. Mya also watered the plants and got my mail. I highly recommend her if you need to board your pets. I will definitely use her again to care for my dogs. Thank you Mya!”

“At the beginning of my trip she accidentally locked her self out but was super creative and problem solved with my neighbor to deal with the issue while I was out of town!!!!
