“Chelsea loves both dogs and cats. She has cared for my cat (Winter) on several occasions whenever I am on vacation, or visiting with friends and family. I know that Winter is in excellent hands when I leave her under Chelsea's care.”

“We have had Lexi watch our three little dogs, cats ,and fish multiple times .(We’re usually gone about 7 days each trip.)We used to board our pets but we have a little dog who can be aggressive with strangers so Lexi said that she could watch them. Lexi is very kind, she loves all of our animals(our pets may like her more than they like us:) When we get back home , our pets are a lot less stressed compared to when we boarded them. Lexi always leaves our place great and she is very trustworthy!! We have a much better time away knowing that our pets are in safe hands !! We love Lexi!!!:)🩷”

“We have had Aimee for a cat and house sitter for several years. When she informed us that she was moving out of the county, we were literally devastated. Aimee, was reliable, efficient and caring. Over the years of traveling around and always having a pet sitter, we have experienced several. Aimee's performance far outweighed the others. We haven't found a satisfactory replacement and we know they will have big shoes to fill. Don't give it a second thought, she's well worth every cent.”

“I can’t thank Sophia enough for taking care of our babies! She was available at the last minute. Was so flexible and loving and kind. We were gone all day. She stopped in for 2 visits. Sent us pictures and communicated with me throughout the visit. When we got home both our dogs were so very calm and not distressed at all! Thank you thank you thank you!! If we weren’t visiting from out of town we would DEFINITELY be your repeat clients 100 %!!!”

“Maddy is the kindest, most patient, pet caretaker and pet mom I've ever met. She is so incredibly thorough with her care for all the pets she meets and her own. Her experience, both personally and professionally, with dogs with special behavior & medical needs really makes her care stand out! I have seen her make my anxious pup feel more comfortable around her than me! Working with animals is nothing new for her, she is such an easy person to communicate with, and you will have absolutely no doubt that your animal is having the most comfortable time they could have. Genuinely, could not have more trust in an individual to put so much love and time into their pet sitting than Maddy.”
