We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving our pet in her care. They were reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly treated our pet like family. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while away. Our pet was were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we returned — which says everything. It’s obvious they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make sure both pets and owners feel supported. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and exceptional!

Kerstyn was so wonderful and attentive. She was super communicative throughout the time my dog boarded with her, sending me updates on what my dog was up to. I felt at ease knowing that my dog was in good hands and having a good time. It was a great experience both for my dog and for me. She was sensitive to any concerns or specific attention areas that I had as well. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need to leave my dog in trusted hands, and I’m sure my dog would be happy to return as well.

Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!

I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!
