1. Tory D.
“Even since I've known Tory, she's always loved and cared for animals in all conditions and of all species. She's extremely gentle with them as well as very patient. Tory is one of the most caring people I've ever known. She continues to prove it by caring for her local strays as well as her own pets. I hope you see how big her heart is, as I do.”
2. Payton L.
“Payton cared for our two dogs. I am super picky about who cares for our fur kids so I was a bit nervous using a service where a stranger stays at our house. From the first time I met Payton, she did anything and everything to ensure we were comfortable leaving our kids under her care. She took great care of our dogs and also sent regular updates which were very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Payton!!”
