“Kathleen was amazing with our three pups. When first meeting with her, they took to her immediately, which is always a good sign. She checked in with us several times a day, with text messages, photos and videos. The pups looked very happy. Thank you so much Kathleen, we definitely be using your services again!”


“Cecilia was awesome I felt very comfortable having her stay in my home for three nights and watch Milo my 85 pound lab I do plan on using her services in the future.Grace and Milo”

“Emily has been the primary pet sitter for my beloved dog Louie (11, 130 lb Great Pyr Mix) for the last three years. When I started returning to the office in 2022, due to a new job, I suddenly had a very long commute, and was away from home for 11 hours a day, 3 days a week. Emily did drop-in visits during the afternoon to make sure that Louie had a bathroom break, walk, water top-up and some company, and a reset of his enrichment toys. Because Louie felt so comfortable with Emily, and we'd had such a positive experience with her drop-in care, when I started traveling again Emily was the first person we called! For several weekend trips, Emily has stayed over at our place with Louie, where she threw in some bonus (much appreciated) plant care. For a longer three week trip, Louie stayed with Emily, and had a wonderful time. Emily is always incredible at sending regular photos and updates, has always been reliable, and is very good about asking all the necessary questions about Louie's routine, preferences, and care. When we run into Emily around the neighborhood, Louie is always thrilled to see her and makes a (very determined) beeline to greet her, which is as solid a testimonial as you can get from a dog. Louie and I both can't say enough good things!”

“Amanda was amazing! She was communicative, reliable, and took wonderful care of my dog. I came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. I couldn’t ask for more and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”


“Heidi was a wonderful sitter. Sent pictures and updates so I wouldn't worry about my dog. Left my place neat and clean. Would definitely hire her again!”

He loves his routine of being fed in the morning and playing throughout the day with his owners!


“Amanda is an outstanding pet caregiver who truly goes above and beyond. She has been dependable time and time again, putting my worries at ease when I do need to travel without my dog. When my dog needed extra care after surgery, Amanda didn’t hesitate to step in and help. She was incredibly accommodating, adjusting her schedule to meet my dog's needs. She carefully administered medication, provided gentle assistance during walks, and created a calm, loving environment that made my dog feel safe and cared for during recovery. Amanda's patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Whether it's a short walk or more intensive care, she always prioritizes my dog’s comfort and happiness.
