“Having Kari stay with our cat, Clancy, for 8 days while we were away was fantastic — and such a relief. Kari sent us daily pictures and videos of Clancy so we had a good sense of his contentment and well-being. Kari is so caring about animals and takes her responsibilities to them very seriously. She followed our specific instructions perfectly and we arrived home to a healthy, happy cat! I highly recommend Kari for any pet-sitting need you may have!”


“Maura was amazing with our dogs! She was very prompt in answering messages and went above and beyond to make sure our 3 dogs were taken care of while we went on a mini vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”


“Ashley was amazing! She was outstanding with my pup, he warmed up to her so quickly. Stayed in contact with me throughout my trip, I never once worried about my dog.”


“Julie did a great job caring for our dogs! She sent lots of picture updates and was a quick communicator. Julie was able to be at our home with the dogs the majority of each day to keep them company. She gave them new toys and spent a lot of time with them playing outside!”

Abby H.
“We have used Abby several times over the last two years to help care for our puppies. We have two boxers who now love Abby and when she comes to visit them. She ensures she is on time, and spends quality time with our dogs. They love to see her coming because they know she loves to play with them and take them for walks. Abby does a great job communicating and letting me know if there are any concerns and how the dogs are doing. It is a great peace of mind to have her when we are out of town.”
