“Isabella did a wonderful job dropping in and checking on my 3 dogs and cat. She came by to meet them and me before the booking, which was great. Also, my kitty needs medication, and I felt confident knowing that Isabella would be able to administer it. I received updates and pictures, so I knew my babies were in good hands.”


“Incredible sitter!! Excellent communication, incredible pictures, top-notch care of our fur babies, and detailed descriptions of the visits. She even gave them Christmas cookie treats and swept up their mess. Couldn't be happier!!”


“Maegan is an excellent sitter. She provided detailed messages on her drop in visits and multiple pics of my pups. She gave them their meds and treats as requested and even gave them back scratches that they loved!!! Hurricane Francine had come through the area during my absence and knocked over a couple of my potted plants on the front porch and back yard and she even picked those up which was way above and beyond. It was so nice knowing my babies were taken care of so well so I didn't worry about them. I highly recommend Maegan and will definitely use her again for my dog service needs.”


“A complete life saver! Great timeliness and gave updates and multiple photos during check-ins. Very nice and professional,, even my skittish kitty warmed up to her quickly! If you’re unsure who’s a good fit for your furry baby Lizzy is definitely that one to go with. :)”


“I'm very happy with how my two dogs were cared for. One has a persistent problem with one of his ears, and she was very consistent with looking after it and giving him his medication when needed. Probably more consistent than I am normally. Usually by the time I get home his infection has gotten worse and requires a lot of attention to get it back under control. But this time he was his usual self when we got home!”

“Courtney was 100% professional from the start. She was communicative, quick to respond (to initial request, questions, a change in the stay plan, etc.) and very clearly is a dog lover! Courtney made drop in visits for Molly while I was away for the weekend, and sent pictures throughout the time I was gone and updates. She also pulled my mail inside (THANKS COURTNEY!) and kept me informed of how things were going. When I returned home, Molly was happy and relaxed. I look forward to having Courtney care for Molly and her brother, Senna, in the future!”
