“Tessa was fantastic! We were away for more than a week, and throughout our trip, she responded promptly to our questions and even asked some of her own. We also got a bunch of photos and videos which was much appreciated since we missed our pups. It was reassuring to know that our dogs were well looked after, and it was evident that they had a great time with her and that Tessa cares deeply about animals. She also went above and beyond by changing our sheets and starting laundry for the towels, making our return home much smoother — especially since we got back a bit later than expected. Overall, I highly recommend Tessa and look forward to booking with her again.”


“Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.”


“Gabby is always so attentive to detail! One of my dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes which comes with a host of problems and I was so anxious to leave him, especially after a recent trip to the emergency vet. Gabby house sat with both of my dogs and handled my plethora of notes/instructions. She took Knuckles for a walk, gave him his insulin, and even did some things outside of taking care of the dogs - handled some package deliveries and brought in our trash cans.”

“Katy was exceptional! She took care of our 3 very active dogs for 9 days. Our dogs immediately bonded with Katy and likewise. Katy utilized her natural instinct as well as wealth of experience to handle every need of our 3. She went over and above to refill a prescription for one of our pets.

“Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute.
