“Allysa did a great job watching Jayla while we were away for my daughter’s wedding. I appreciated her communication and photos she sent while we were gone. She was very accommodating with providing the same routine with Jayla that we do when we are home. House was also clean when we returned. Will definitely have her watch Jayla again!”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful in caring for our dog, Lucy. Our house was spotless and she made us feel super comfortable in leaving Lucy. She provided pictures and updates. We came home and while our dog was happy to see us, she also had a calmness to her that made us know she was well cared for while we were gone. Thank you, Julia!”
“Our pets loved hanging out with Michael while we were away. I think our dog was disappointed to see us home because he had so much fun. Michael sent us daily updates and took great care of our home also. We will definitely use him again in the future.”
“Aphra is an absolute champion! She showed up on time, was incredibly kind, and went above and beyond from start to finish. She took the time to interview me before even meeting my dogs, making sure she understood everything they needed. Throughout the day, she stayed in touch, sent photos, asked questions, and gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience”
“Lynn was AMAZING! She took care of my pups for a lengthy trip and I came home to two extremely happy puppies. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sent lots of photos, and took them on lots of walks. I booked her pretty last minute and she made sure the meet and greet process was swift and easy!”

Nathan C.
“Going out of town for an extended vacation was nerve racking for us as puppy parents. Fortunately we had Nate who is a kind, empathetic and caring person who very quickly built a trusting relationship with us and more importantly our dogs. Nate is a natural at building rapport and was able to quickly win our dogs over. We have three dogs and he managed each of their special needs with ease. We also have a very high needs dog in terms of medication along with a regimented walking and feeding schedule. Nate managed this with utmost care and diligence. I would trust Nate 100% with our dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone else be it they have two or four legs.”

Broderick I.
“Brody was amazing with our dog, Teddy! Right from the start, we could tell he had a natural gift with animals—calm, confident, and incredibly in tune with Teddy’s needs. It’s rare to find someone so genuine and attentive, and we felt completely at ease knowing our sweet boy was in such capable hands. He provided not just safe and loving care, but also excellent communication and reliability. We always knew what was going on, and Brody was great about updates and being flexible. It’s clear he takes his role seriously and truly cares about the pets he looks after. Teddy adored him, and so did we. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy with a heart for animals, Brody is your guy!”

Samantha W.
“Samantha has cared for our dog and cats on multiple occasions. She was always attentive to their specific needs, gave them lots of love and belly rubs and helped them feel comfortable and cared for in our absence. Samantha was trustworthy, a great communicator regarding how things were going and even helped care for things around the home when we were gone for an extended time. We always felt safe and that our pets were well loved while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring Samantha for all your fur baby’s needs. ❤️ 🐾”
