“I AM SO THANKFUL FOR ARIANNA. A pipe broke in my house during her stay (she did nothing wrong. Just old pipes) and she took care of it. She spoke to management of my apartment and the maintenance personal, she moved my furniture to protect my things, and communicated/ took pictures of everything. I’m so thankful she was there. I don’t know what we would do without her.”

“Kaitie was a great sitter for our pup! We could tell Snowy was well cared for and loved while we were gone for a few days. Kaitie sent us photos throughout the day with updates. We will definitely be using Kaitie again in the future.”
8. Thanh-Mai T.
“Thanh-Mai was absolutely incredible! We have a very anxious and nervous Dalmatian so we weren’t sure how our Ella would do for a full 8 days with someone new in her space but she had a blast! Thanh-Mai was open to multiple meet-ups so Ella could warm up to her. By the second visit Ella was stoked to see her which really eased any worries we had about leaving her. We received pictures and updates all throughout the week with careful attention to Ella’s feelings and reactions. Thanh-Mai stayed in our apartment to keep Ella in her usual environment and when we got home she had left the place so clean and neat! It made for such a nice arrival after two days of flying. We couldn’t recommend Thanh-Mai more! Thank you for creating such a safe space for our puppy!”

10. Karthik & Ankita V.
“We couldn't be happy and satisfied by our experience with Ankita and Karthik. There was timely and clear communication prior to our trip. Both of them provided detailed personal and scheduled updates with pictures each day. They kept is informed on how everything was going, an update on their schedule and how they were managing the pet schedules every day. We were able to have a stress free family vacation knowing our home and our pets were in responsible, caring hands. They are definitely on our list to call again when we need someone to watch over the pups! Thanks again!!”
