1. Candice S.

“Candace has been coming to help with my older dog & puppy for a couple of weeks now, since our household has been turned up side down. The dogs love to see her, & love to go outside to play when she’s here. She is working on basic commands with the puppy, & the old girl has been learning too. I appreciated the attention to detail at our meet & greet, writing down pertinent info on both dogs. She also reported a medical problem with my older dog, so that she was able to be seen by the vet promptly. 5 star”


2. Savannah N.


“She was amazing, very sweet with our dogs and gave them lots of love and treats which they loved. Very good at communicating with us and sent us photos of our dogs which was very appreciated.”


3. Danielle D.

“Danielle was great! We have an extra large dog and she was amazing with her. She kept us updated/informed and took great care of our pup during the drop-ins & walk around the neighborhood. I never worried about her while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her for your animals and we will book Danielle again the future!”


4. Katie C.

“10000% recommend Katie! This was our second time to book her to take care of our older cats, and we will definitely book again. She made sure they got all medicines, cleaned up messes (sorry again!!), and encouraged our finicky eater to finish her food. Katie even remembered (from 4 months previous!) that we had a gravy treat that worked to get her to eat more! Katie also sent detailed updates with photos during our time away. She's a super sweet person, communicates well, follows instructions, and gives great care. We couldn't ask for more!! Thank you, Katie!!”

12. Madison R.
“Madison is a dependable, consistent pet caregiver that nurtures a bond with your pet so they are excited to see her and spend time with her. She goes above and beyond normal pet care taking by getting to know the health and habits of your pet. When anything outside the pets normal behavior/habits develops, she promptly consults with you to determine a course of action—going out of her way to ensure the well being of your pet.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nicole! She is not only an incredibly skilled dog groomer, but also one of the most caring and compassionate people I’ve ever met. From the moment you meet her, it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. Nicole has a gentle touch and a calming presence that puts even the most nervous pups at ease. Her attention to detail and dedication to each dog’s comfort and well-being is unmatched. Whether it’s grooming, pet sitting, or dog walking, Nicole treats every furry friend like family. As a proud pet parent herself, with two adorable companions at home, Nicole truly understands the bond between people and their pets. That empathy shines through in everything she does. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry friend with love, patience, and expert care, Nicole is the one. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for trustworthy, top-notch pet care!”


15. Kimberly J.

“Kimberley was absolutely wonderful with our three dogs! She was super flexible with timing and really cared about giving them lots of love and attention. One of our pups was having accidents, and she handled it without hesitation. She even cleaned up and brought us a cleaner to help. She also followed our diaper instructions perfectly. You can really tell she has a big heart for animals. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely book her again!”

Highly recommend her.”
