I wish I could keep Kaylee my little secret, but it would be a crime to not share how great she is. Kaylee has done drop-in’s on my dogs over the past months that equal out to roughly 3 weeks worth of days. She is always so easy to communicate with, shows up in a timely manner for every visit, sends at least a couple of pictures every visit, and most importantly my dogs love her. It’s hard to trust people these days, but Kaylee is one of those people that you can count on to take care of your pets like they are her own. I’ve rebooked her about 5 times now, and will use her every single time I have to go out of town.

I truly can’t say enough great things about Monica! She has been helping let out my dog most days of the week for the past couple months. She was on time or early every single day, left the best summaries of her time spent with my pup, and always took amazing photos. It was clear that she & Dublin enjoyed their time spent together and I felt good knowing Dublin was in great hands! I will definitely be using Monica for any future let-outs I need. She’s the best!

Lisa has watched my 7yr old dog Leo many times. She takes him on walks and provides him with a safe indoor environment with toys and enrichment activities. Leo loves spending time with Lisa, and I feel confident and stress-free when I leave him in her care.

What can I say about tori but wow… she did such an amazing job with our cats and spent tons of extra time with them. Sent us tons of updates and pictures. Truthfully, if you need someone to watch a pet or stop by, someone who truly has a kinship with animals, tori is the one to go with. Furthermore, she’s a good person and we felt secure with her entering and leaving our house. We will exclusively use her from now on and you should too. We don’t just give good reviews, they must be earned… and she did that. Aces all the way…

Jessica watched our three dogs several times. She was great with communicating throughout the process. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and Jessica was super patient with her…by the time we came home from our trip they were best friends! I highly recommend Jessica for anyone looking for a super kind and patient pet sitter!

Justin is the best! He has taken care of our puppy, Cash, several times and we are always comforted by the love he shows as soon as Cash walks in the door! As a puppy, he has a lot of energy and Justin takes time to play with Cash while he cares for his every need.

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

Laci is a fantastic dog sitter/ walker and over all pet babysitter. She professional, caring, and loved my pet when she was watching him. We had her house sit: pet sit a few times and she kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. She is super loving towards animals. I highly recommend Laci!
