They took really good care of Nara. She is extremely picky with food and they made sure she would eat adequetely. They sent us pictures and updates regularly. We recently lost our older pet and they definitely helped her in this vulnerable state. We came back to a well cared and happy dog. Would definitely rebook them next time.

Josh was very attentive and great at communication. Our dogs and house were well cared for. He even went above and beyond by taking our trash to curb without being asked. Would definitely recommend Josh to others.

I could not have found a better house/house cat sitter than Brie! I was a bit worried being gone for 12 days. Especially for my former feral, shy kitty. Brie knows animals. She even got my shy one to let her pet her. Sounds small, but that's huge! She also left the house perfectly clean, washed all the bedding, bath rugs and towels which made coming home relaxing. I think I'll be making more travel plans in the future and I'll definitely be hiring Brie!

We were happy to have Autumn stay with our dogs while we were out of state. She was willing and able to deal w/ issues related to trial of an elimination diet and two different personalities! We received daily updates which helped alleviate our concerns about our babies while we were gone.

We couldn't be more pleased with the care Kellar provided for our two large dogs. He stayed in our home and was a most excellent guest. Kellar respected our property and left the place spotless. The important stuff: daily updates and pics of the dogs, made sure to give our senior dog his meds and assisted with stairs, walks, and lots of love & attention. How do I know? Archie & Louie were totally chill when we returned to the house. No signs of the anxiety and stress that come with taking them to a strange place and leaving them for a few days. Both dogs took to him upon our first meeting. Kellar is kind, respectful, and considerate. I will not hesitate to contact him for future dog care.

Karley watched our 3 pets for the weekend and was outstanding! One of our dogs can be temperamental and Karley was very patient with her. She also sent us several pictures throughout the weekend and clearly took great care of our pets and home. We would highly recommend Karley to others.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, also caring for other people’s. Between my five children, I have 10 grand dogs, with weights ranging from 15 pounds to over 100. We are a very pet friendly family with dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs! Each and everyone are not just our pets, but family, This is exactly how I treat other people’s fur babies in my care. I’m currently retired with a walking trail behind my house. I walk 6 to 7 miles a day and really enjoy it when I can have a fur baby along. I are home all day, so I have plenty of time to love on your pets. I let them up on our furniture and in my bed. I always treat them as family, just like all my own pets were treated. I have a large yard, so plenty of space to run. There’s a walking trail right behind our home. With permission, there are dog parks close by. Pets are welcome anywhere in my house. I’ve cared for dogs from 10 pounds to over 100, all loved just the same.

About: I have been talking care of family and friends animals since the age of 10 and still to this day. From walking to feeding to bathing, and grooming i have done it all. I wouldnt be the person i am today if it wernt for being around and taking care of animals. Pets make my life so much more enjoyable seeing them happy them showing love in return. I have a Morkie who is the biggest lover on this planet. She is great with other animals and will keep them great company. I also use to train dogs when i was younger and have had the privilage to train all of my family and friends pets. So if your fur baby is in need of a little extra help i would be thrilled to work with them! I am currently a stay at home mother who has lots of time and love to give and would be honored to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a very loving and friendly fur baby to keep your pet company and lots of toys and love to give little one

Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️

Meghan was so wonderful to our home and our boy, Walter! She was very communicative and helpful; we got a bad storm and Meghan had made plenty of arrangements to be sure she could take care of Walter and even went above and beyond to offer help if our flights were delayed. Walter was happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was also in great shape. Can’t wait to have her watch him again on our next trip!

Peyton was WONDERFUL! I often worry about my boys when I travel but Peyton made it so easy - I could tell right away they were in good hands. Baxter is 18 years old and needs a pill at night and Hank has some quirks to navigate - Peyton handled it all with ease! Upon return the boys were happy and content! We would recommend her to anyone🖤
