“Alicia did a great job taking care of our girls, our home and keeping us updated while we were away. It was so nice getting daily updates and pictures and she left the house just as clean or cleaner than it was when we left. We’ll definitely be using Alicia again and recommending her to others.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our experience was great. I highly recommend Elena for your dog-sitting needs. We had a meet & greet prior to our trip, which was very helpful because our dog Pnut doesn't love everyone but she did love Elena. We also enjoyed the daily text updates and pictures she sent to us. Additionally, she brought in the mail, watered our plants, feed the fish and kept the house clean and tidy. It was a real peace of mind knowing she was here looking after our dog & house. THANKS!!”

When we returned, we were greeted with the normal happy to see you rather than ' we've been ignored while you were away.' This is always a great indicator to us.

Kaila C.
“Kaila is one of the kindest and most responsible human beings I know. The kind of person who can anticipate needs before they even need to be met, who will sacrifice their own comfort for the comfort of others, who constantly operates from a place of generosity and protectiveness. Kaila has a warmth to them that is lacking in most people. Any pet in their care will be dutifully cared for and safe.”

Ali B.
“I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Ali Bradley as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have had the pleasure of knowing Ali for 5 years, and I can say with confidence that she is one of the most caring, responsible, and knowledgeable individuals when it comes to animals. What sets Ali apart is her extensive understanding of animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy senior cat, or a strong-willed rescue, she knows exactly how to approach and care for each pet’s individual needs. I’ve witnessed firsthand how quickly animals warm up to her and how excited my own pets get every time she walks through the door. Their tails wag and purrs start instantly—it’s clear they feel loved, safe, and happy in her care. Ali is incredibly punctual and professional, always communicating clearly and promptly. Whether it's providing updates during care or discussing schedule changes, she keeps pet parents informed and reassured. I’ve entrusted her with the care of my pets many times and have always come home to content, well-cared-for animals. Above all, Ali Bradley is someone you can trust completely. Knowing my pets are in such capable and compassionate hands brings me immense peace of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet care. Sincerely, Abigail Thompson”
