We felt very confident from the beginning after the meet and greet and she definitely helped us to feel content that Lily was in very good hands and we were able to enjoy our vacation much better! Her place was clean and organized and you can really tell that she cares about the health and well-being of the animals that she takes care of!”

“We are beyond grateful for Liz. We were able to finally sneak our Maggie in to meet Liz and Nala. I had been stressing about what to do with our special Maggie for our week getaway, and Liz was incredibly accommodating and understanding. I felt so reassured that Maggie was in extremely capable loving care. Liz communicated about how Maggie was doing, sending adorable photos and videos, and happy updates and I knew everything was great on their end. Even with Maggie's sore hips, administering medication was never an issue for Liz, and I got helpful feedback about how she was managing day to day. I would trust Liz with any of our pets in the blink of an eye. Thank you Liz!!!”


“Oakley absolutely loved Anna and her husband! They were both so kind and took the greatest care of him. They went above and beyond to take him on walks and even brought him to the dog park which was perfect since Oakley is a very high energy dog. We booked them last minute and they were very flexible with timing. They followed all our instructions for Oakley's care. Anna also provided a lot of photos, videos, and updates throughout his stay! I couldn't recommend them enough, we will definitely be booking with them in the future! :)”
