1. Adrienne V.
“This is the second time Adrienne took care of our sweet Billy. Based on the photos ahead sent he was a very happy, cuddly, well taken care little fella. Although we miss him, we feel confident he is in great hands. We highly recommend her.”
2. Amy B.
“I was very nervous leaving my older cat in new surroundings after recently moving with him to Canada. Amy was wonderful at making a connection with him, and giving him some quality company. Her daily updates and photos contained enough detail to give me a very good picture of how he was doing, and were so appreciated! Amy is a conscientious person, and even wanted to know when we made it home safely after our winter drive, to make sure my cat didn't need any further care. Without her help, I could not have otherwise enjoyed my family trip to the coast. Thank you Amy!”
3. Matilda L.

15. Emerencz M.
“I live in a shared house with 5 animals and they all love Emerencz more than their actual owners. Emerencz takes care of them when we go away or if we need the dogs walked while we are at work. I would highly recommend Em to anyone who wants a responsible, genuine animal lover to care for their creatures.”
16. Shelby T.
“Shelby was great and was very attentive to my dogs needs!”
17. Alicia F.

We so appreciate Alicia's dedication and kindness, she truly went above and beyond for us and our fur babies. ♡ Thank you!”
