1. Joyce R.

“Joyce and her family took care of our senior dog over the holidays and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our dog is blind and is usually fearful of new encounters, but when he met Joyce's family, he warmed up immediately to them and was jumping and licking their faces - something we rarely see! Her communication was great and provided regular photos and updates. She followed all our instructions carefully and even gave him multiple walks throughout the day. We would highly recommend Joyce to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”


2. Jen O.

“I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my cat with Jen. She was so incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and accommodating. Worked well with my schedule, including some last minute scheduling changes. She was so reassuring and it was so clear to me that my cat had such a happy and pleasant experience. I will definitely be booking with Jen in the future. Her regular updates, thoroughness, attention to detail, empathy, and experience made me feel relaxed during my trip, knowing that my cat was in good hands. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.”

She responded almost immediately to all our messages and was very flexible about pick up and drop times.”
