We have anxious pup who doesn’t like another dogs so she paid close attention to that. She was very respectful to our schedule for the pup and really made sure to follow. She was a great communicator also. She was giving plenty update for us anxious parents. I would recommend her to all our friends.”

“Angel was timely, communicative, and overall the perfect pet sitter! We intend to use her services again and again. She sent lots of pictures, and took wonderful tender care of our post-op dog during his recovery.”
10. Heather M.
“Heather has been our family’s reliable pet caregiver for over 15 years. We have multiple large dogs, rabbits, hedgehogs, and other lovable critters. Due to the large dogs and various demands of our other pets it was difficult to find a pet sitter who felt capable and comfortable with all the animals and their care routine. Heather is always great with them and very understanding of their needs and schedule. We require at least 3 visits a day for our dogs who take medication. Heather is aware and accommodating of this without any issue. I know I may always rely on Heather whether it is for a few visits or several days of care. The dogs love her, and I know she is a loving dog mom herself, it shows in the compassionate way she treats us and our pets.”
11. Taylor R.
“Taylor was so good with my pup! She sent me tons of pictures of my fur baby so I knew he was in good hands. When my plans changed, she was willing to stay an extra day. I definitely recommend her and will be using her again to watch my pup!”
12. Ruby G.
“Ruby is wonderful! She was so attentive to the needs of Ida, a very anxious and emotional hound, who definitely stresses out a lot when we leave her. Updates were frequent, detailed, and full of adorable photos. Our pup loooves car rides and Ruby took her on many, which I know comforted her in our absence! The house is in even better shape than we left it. I would absolutely recommend Ruby to anyone looking for pet care of any kind!”

18. Lindsey F.
“Lindsay has cared for my pets several times. I have 2 Golden Retrievers and a Australian Shepherd. One of the Goldens is blind and not easy to care for. Lindsay would sit on the ground outside with that dog as long as the dog wanted to sit. She is a quiet loving soul. Their diets are all different and she had not trouble feeding them, also my 3 cats. I would recommend Lindsay to everyone. She is one of the best, very punctual and kind.”
