“Emily is the best! So happy I found her to spend time and live with Kona when I go out of town for work. Emily is very prompt with communication, on time every time, super flexible and accommodating to my schedule when something comes up last min. Emily sends lots of pictures and videos to make me feel at ease when I’m not around and missing my dog child. Kona absolutely loves Emily! Highly recommended for any of your pet sitting needs! Thanks Emily!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with my cat. She communicated very well and kept me updated during her visits. When she had trouble finding my cat one day (because he was hiding way better that I thought he could), she took extra time to check the house thoroughly for him and made sure he had everything he needed before she left. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter in the area!”
“Miguel is hands down THE BEST! As long as he's available I will no longer use any other pet sitter. He took great care of my pups and sends beautiful pictures on his visits. Absolutely adore him! 💜”

“I hired Cole because my dog prefers males and gets along best with males. Cole was on time, and took very good care of my dogs, Chestnut and Daisy, and locked up behind him. Cole met with me beforehand for free to meet Chestnut and my other puppy, Daisy and discuss responsibilities. I could tell Cole has experienced with puppies. Cole was very polite and attentive and went above and beyond for Chestnut and Daisy. Chestnut and Daisy absolutely love him and they get excited to see him again every time! I recommend Cole and will hire him again. Thanks Cole!”
