Kimberly was amazing, she went above and beyond! My pups are happy and she took care of them during the holidays, I’m so glad that I found her. She also sent me pictures of my pets every day, and that made me feel in peace and I could enjoyed my vacations! Thank you Kim so much!!

Kim was wonderful! We were out of town for several days and she updated us regularly with sweet photos and videos with our sweet boy. The house was just as neat and clean as we left it. We will definitely be using Kim again in the future. Thank you, Kim!

Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!

Katie did SO awesome with Kali! She asked me really great questions about her and her habits, she sent pictures and updates and gave her her meds correctly. Kali ran over to her to say goodbye when she was leaving, so I know she took good care of her 🥰 I would definitely recommend her!

I work for a non-profit dog rescue and have had the pleasure of working with Tamara as a volunteer and foster for our rescue for the past two years. She's a dedicated foster, always willing to help walk dogs who are at the shelter, and is amazing with all the dogs she works with. She is kind to the staff, other volunteers, and animals she works with. She does well with dogs with all temperaments, sizes, and backgrounds. She shows each dog patience and kindness with interactions and has experience with dogs of all kinds. I highly recommend Tamara as a dog walker, sitter, and care taker for anyone who needs some help with their pets!

Cher is fantastic! We have had her watch our pups repeatedly and she is dependable, responsive and respectful. This past time, she watched our pups at the last minute because our daughter had her baby 2 weeks early in Massachusetts and we wanted to be there. We literally dropped everything to go. Cher was exceptional and came right over. We were able to catch a flight within a few hours and I knew they were in great hands. Our house was in great shape when we got home and everyone was happy!!!

I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.

Sandra is THE BEST! This was our first time using Rover and leaving the pups with someone who wasn’t my mom or sister. I was terrified. We met Sandra and the worries went completely away! The dogs instantly loved her. They miss her already. Sandra is the best and an incredible dog person. My larger dog is a rescue with quirks and Sandra was amazing at handling them. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Sandra is officially our go-to dog sitter!
