Danni was great! She communicated well with her plans and timing, gave nice updates on our dog and cat and she went above and beyond to make sure our trash and home cleanliness was taken care of.

An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.

Claudia was great with Willow! She’s patient with Willow’s very excited greeting, but does a good job at calming her right down. She spends time with her both in the house and in the backyard. She is prompt and reliable.

Sarah was absolutely amazing with my dog Emma and Piper. She came over for a meet and greet prior to the sitting with my dogs and they immediately liked her. I was gone for several days and she took great care of my pups. She sent videos and pictures every day. I would highly recommend Sarah and will certainly use her again!

We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.

Christina is a gem! She treated my dogs as if they were her own. My husband and I were out of town for the weekend so we had Christina stay at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She sent me daily pictures and videos treated our home with respect. I highly recommend Christina and we will definitely use her again

Our dogs Brenda and Mickey were in great care with Maria. When they go to a boarding facility, they are stressed and lose weight. Luckily, they were able to stay home and Maria gave them the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while we were gone. I definitely recommend Maria!

I was extremely lucky to book such a qualified professional on such short notice. Communication and preparation was an easy process first of all. At the same time, while I was away from home for my military obligations, communication and updates stayed consistent. Aicha even double-checked to make sure I was receiving her messages. I was in a very isolated area doing mountain warfare training, and at the same time studying for tests to advance my career. Just saying, I could have been more responsive if I wasn't so busy. Aicha still went above and beyond to ensure I knew Chief was well taken care of. This fact was reinforced upon my arrival home. Chief actually seemed kind of sad that he wasn't seeing Aicha every day!! Aicha is amazing and will provide your pet with more than enough love, care, and affection. She is a TOP provider and I highly recommend her to others!!!!

Alayna is incredible. I have two very anxious dogs and Alayna is the only one outside of our family that she trusts. She sends regular updates, makes sure to follow all of our instructions, and left our house looking better than when we left it.

Holly has watched our pets multiple times— she’s always thoughtful and communicative, and we leave town knowing with certainty that our pets are in amazing hands. When Holly sends photos or videos of our cats, they’re always at ease and doing their favorite activities (playing with their toys, making biscuits, and just generally having a great time.) Thank you so much for another great visit, Holly!

Nicole is THE best dog sitter. She came to our house and met our dogs. One of our dogs is an abused foster which we adopted. She loved Nicole that first day which has never happened even when my sons come to visit. She sent us photos and she was able to handle our young dog. The best part is now we have a trusted sitter we can start going out of town. I’d recommend Nicole to anyone❤️
