Benita took great care of our dogs and house. She managed to still walk and play with them in the icy and cold weather. She probably threw the ball at least 2,000 times for our crazy younger pup. Her communication and updates were very frequent. Our dogs were really sad to see her go. We would definitely book again!

Jazmine did great with my two dogs! I was in an area with spotty cell service all week and felt very comforted knowing Jazmine was caring for my dogs! She even had little report cards for them when I returned. It was so sweet!

Zack does an amazing job! It is so nice to come home to a clean house and know our fur baby has been well cared for. The key didn't work for him, but he sprang into action to make sure Luna was taken care of and he had access. Will look to rehire Zack for future sitting needs!

Tana was super with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She must have a way with cats, because our scardy cat, Lucy, who hides from everyone, came out to be fed and even let Tana pet her. Tana took our two boys (dogs) for walks after it cooled off in the evenings because neither one of them do well in the heat any longer. She sent pictures regularly and followed directions from our 5!!!! pages of instructions (yes, we're obsessed with our babies!). If you want someone that will take good care of your babies, Tana is the one to contact. Kathy and Wendy

Sydney took care of our aging and rapidly declining cat. Without hesitation they gave him meds and cuddled with him. They also sent us photos and kept us updated on his condition and eating habits. We would highly recommend you hire Sydney for any pet, healthy or not.

Nancy did a great job taking care of my two cats with very different needs. A 15 year old and a 1 year old. She followed care instructions well, kept me up to date and sent pictures. She house sat and watched over them for two weeks while I was on vacation out of the country. Thanks Nancy!?

We have used Erica several times for house and dog sitting, and she continues to do an excellent job. Our dogs are always happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She keeps us updated while we're away and follows our instructions carefully. We especially appreciate the care she takes with our home. Each time we return, the house is exceptionally clean, neat, and well cared for, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when traveling. Erica is reliable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her.

Maggie and her partner watched my dogs at my house while I was away. Maggie regularly sent pictures and updates on how my pups were doing. She showed a lot of patience towards my newly adopted dog, who needs to be walked regularly while she is still working on potty training. My house was clear and orderly once I returned. I really appreciate and will be hiring her again soon.

Avalon is wonderful! My fur babies all love her and she loves them. She goes the extra mile to make sure my dogs are happy and having fun. My house is always clean when we come home. She’s watched our house and animals twice in the past four months and have hired again in the next few months. We have the highest level of trust for Avalon. I would highly recommend her!

I booked Hawken to take care of our dog and two cats while we were away on vacation. I couldn't have made a better choice! During our meet and greet, our animals were at ease and Hawken established a connection with them right away. He was very detailed in getting to know our preferences and made sure all the information was covered. During his stay, we received daily pictures and updates and Hawken even stepped in and helped us with a couple of hiccups during our travel. When returned to a clean home and relaxed, happy animals. Hawken even shoveled our driveway! We will definitely invite him back when we travel again. We highly recommend him!

Eleanor did an absolutely excellent of looking after my dog Enzo during Christmas break. It is obvious she loves dogs and they bonded immediately. She treated him as if he were her own, gave him lots of love, play, and more walks than I directed her to. She gave me regular updates and pictures which allowed me to have a worry free vacation. She also took very good care of my home. It was cleaner than I left. I would highly recommend Eleanor. If I could give her 10 stars I would!
