“Kimmie was wonderful!!! A big storm came through on one of the nights Kimmie was watching our dogs and when the storm sirens went off in the middle of the night Kimmie made sure the dogs were safe in our (unfinished) basement. She went above and beyond to stay with them to keep them calm, so that was a big plus! She did a great job communicating with us when we were away and our dogs seemed to thrive with her. That’s even more notable considering our younger dog lost his sight a few weeks prior to the dates we used her, and she navigated that unexpected concern beautifully!”


“Vanessa took great care of our fur babies. She kept in contact with us and updated with daily pictures. She was also very responsive to the questions we had. Will definitely try to book with her again.”


“Karen had a tough job with our two: an old grumpy girl and an energetic beagle. She went above and beyond to assure they were safe, well cared for and happy. Thank you Karen!”

“Kebrah was very helpful with my sick pup. She came into my home to watch him, allowing me to go to work. While here, she cooked rice for him and kept an eye on him as if he were her own.
