Ameera is a pet parent’s dream! She was extremely attentive and caring with my cat, provided wonderful updates and videos that I looked forward to every day, and went the extra mile to make sure both my cat and I were comfortable throughout my travel. I would recommend her to anyone!

WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos. She truly went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our cat was well taken care of and I felt so much better knowing Aimee was there for her. I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.

Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!

Iryna is fantastic! She was attentive, caring, and comfortable administering medications for our cat. We felt like she really bonded with our cat, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was happy. Iryna was also an amazing communicator - we appreciated her personalized twice-daily updates with lots of photos, and we knew our cat was in great hands. We will definitely book Iryna again!

Donna rescued her bassett hound Lucy eight years ago. She and Lucy shared the best life - long walks with lots of sniffs, loving belly rubs and naps on the couch. Donna gave Lucy the best care, from a young pup to a senior dog. Donna is a true dog lover, and now that Lucy lives on in her heart, you can be sure your dog will be in patient, kind and good hands during their stay.

Rachel is amazing!!! She handled my two very different dogs with ease. One is big with high energy and the other is little, cranky, and old. They loved her and she was in and out with no problem. She sent a bunch of photos and also kindly did this drop-in on a very last minute basis. I am relieved that the dogs are taken care of and so pleased with how extremely nice and professional Rachel was to speak with. Will definitely call again if we need more help. Thanks Rachel!
