Autumn was a professional and extremely great with our dogs. She stayed at our home for four days with our two small pets. We got constant communication and picture updates. It was a great feeling to know things were under control at home when we were on our vacation. We highly recommend Autumn. :)

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 ❤️❤️❤️

Karley was amazing with our golden retriever, Dierks, and he seemed very happy and relaxed when we returned! I especially appreciated how accommodating Karley was with schedule changes that happened last minute. We would definitely recommend Karley and will be booking with her again!🤩

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!

Char was amazing!!! Boris has a slightly annoying regimen of medications and she took care of it no problem. I got multiple pictures every day - and he clearly enjoyed himself. I came home to a very happy pup. I will most definitely have Char watch him in the future!!

Used Thomas again for house/dog sitting for an entire week and felt incredibly comfortable with the care he was giving our pups and our house. So, so nice to have him stay there and give us updates and the dogs extra cuddles and treats.

Mira was amazing! We very last minute needed a dog sitter and she responded very quickly which was so helpful! She came by met Ace before hand which was appreciated greatly. She was very sweet, professional and was very willing to accommodate to all of Aces needs. She stayed at the house and left it just as we had left it. No mess or trash! She followed all instructions to a tea and also sent me pictures of Ace throughout the day and that was super nice! I would highly recommend her!

First time using Rover so was slightly nervous and wasn't sure what to expect but Kaylyn helped to make it a seamless and great experience! Our girls can be big needy lapdogs at times and when we got home they said Kaylyn did great, thay felt safe and loved 😁 We love using family when able (wasn't available for this trip), but it's great to know we have a reliable back up with Kaylyn. We will be using her again in the future I'm sure.

Thank you for taking such good care of our pups and kitties! It was so nice to be able to check in and get a quick response when I reached out. There were lots of storms during our week away and our pups don’t handle weather events well, Tiffany made sure they were safe and comfortable! Was so nice to not have to worry about them having good care. I would recommend Tiffany to others looking for quality care of their pets while they are away.

Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!

About: I have taken care of my over 13 pets through the years, as an only child my cats and dogs have been very close to my heart and truly apart of my family. I hope to be able to meet not only your pets needs But yours as well!

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 privilege 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

Trisha was amazing. She even took my cat to the vet when she got into a fight with one of the other cats, and needed a little bit of TLC for a bite wound. Trisha kept us up-to-date on how the pets were doing and sent us pictures.

Landon did a remarkable job. He stayed at our house taking care of our 2 golden retrievers while we enjoyed a 10 day holiday. We did a one night trial run a few weeks before our long trip to make sure everything would go well and it did. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was great when we returned. He was a great guest who washed his sheets and vacuumed the floors! We will definitely be using Landon for our future travel time.

Samuel was very methodical and organized. My older dog needed medications to be administered precisely and he did an amazing job with that. Both our dogs were well feb, got out a lot and had the best time. We were able to enjoy because samuel looked after our fur babies so well. Highly recommend him. Thanks
