1. Felicia C.
“Felicia is fantastic with my two cats! They absolutely love her, she is ensures their litter boxes stay clean, plays with them for most of the visit and feeds them before she leaves. She was careful to ensure my door remained locked after every visit as well. Everything I needed and specified for my visits with my cats.”
2. Brittany W.
“Brittany was great! I will definitely request her again if I am ever in the area. She was very easy to communicate with and treated my kids as if they were her own”
3. Debbie M.
“Highly recommend Debbie! She was so good with our pup. She posted pictures every visit so we could see her while we were gone. She was very quick on responding and a great communicator. We will definitely be using her again!”
4. Elisabeth H.
“Lisa is the first person I think of when I need a caregiver for my little fluff ball. You can tell she really loves animals. She even asked if he had any special needs or had any behaviors to be aware of. I love that she has a large fenced in back yard for him to run around in. My dog feels right at home in Lisa's care. If you're still trying to figure out who you'd feel comfortable caring for your dog, from one pet owner to another, trust me when I say Lisa is your gal.”
5. Max T.
“I have had Max stay at our house and watch our dog every vacation for a couple of years! Hazel loves him and he is very responsible! Not only does he take great care of her but he waters my plants, gets the mail and takes care of small task while we are away! He works and comes & goes as needed, but I feel so much better knowing he is at the house with her when we cannot be! Highly recommended Max!”
6. Samantha B.
“Another great experience with Samantha! She was very attentive to both kitties, noticed right away that Griffy was feeling a bit off, and even cleaned up his puke-mess on the carpet! Highly recommend her!”
7. Carley H.
“Carley was amazing with my dog, Argo! She was very flexible in accommodating last minute changes to the booking, and clicked with Argo right away. She also sent very frequent updates and pictures. I most definately recommend Carley! and will always ask her first to watch my dog.”
8. Sandy J.
“Sandy was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of Romeo and provided detailed visit summary and pictures each time. I highly recommend her as a loving and responsible sitter.”
9. Jasmine C.
“Jasmine was wonderful and took time to be patient with my rambunctious doggie. We had a great walk together!”
10. Emily M.
“Emily M is one of the most responsible people I know. Not only would I trust her with my pet I trust her with my child. One of the things that make Emily M so amazing is her way of anticipating a person's/pets needs. She goes out of her way to make people/pets more comfortable. To not pick Emily to watch after your pet is depriving them of a remarkable experience.”
11. Victoria K.
“Victoria is a wonderful pet sitter! Our dog loves her! She is reliable and makes our dog feel comfortable. She is dedicated to providing the best care possible as she always asks about any updates to feeding schedules, diet, and other specific needs our dog has. She has even gone above and beyond one time when our dog had stomach issues and made QUITE the mess. She washed him and even took care of the carpet. She is my go to anytime I need someone to take care of my dog.”
12. Tammy F.
“Always a good job!!”
13. Zoe L.
“Zoe watches my dog Lucy when my family goes on vacation. She always sends me updates and pictures of Lucy so I know she's doing okay. Lucy absolutely adores Zoe and I have had nothing but positive experiences with Zoe. I would recommend her for any dog needs, she will treat your puppy like family.”
14. Alyssa M.
“Thanks Alyssa for taking care of Pita. You arrived on time both visits and Pita felt very comfortable on your company. Definitively I'll contact you when Pita needs care at home.”
