Monica was truly the best. We were gonna for two and a half weeks for our wedding and honeymoon & Monica treated our bengal cat like royalty by going above and beyond. She keeps you updated with daily messages, pictures, and responds quickly to any questions and requests. We will definitely be using her again!

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

Very knowledgeable, engaged, timely, and kept me up to speed after each visit with notes and lots of photos. Javon made house visits to care for my attention-loving, high energy goof dog and aloof old-man cat. The boys are happy, which is a night and day difference from the times we chose to do conventional boarding.

Shelly was amazing with my cat, Wrigley! She checked in regularly and didn’t hesitate to ask questions. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing Shelly was taking such good care of Wrigley.

I haven’t used a service like this before and was kind of hesitant about it. Andrea did a fantastic job and took excellent care of my Yoda. I will definitely be using this service again. Thank you Andrea!

We love working with Natasha! She has made us feel comfortable leaving our dog at home and taking great care of him on her drop in visits. She always shares an update and a couple pictures afterwards. So glad we met her and can’t wait to continue working with her!

Lisa has been cat sitting for me for over 30 years. She treats my cats as though they are her own. She has a lot of great experience with cats and dogs and is comfortable playing with them and caring for them. She has been a really good cat sitter for me whenever I’m away. She sends me pics of my kitties and that helps so much. I’ve had kittens and older cats over the years and she’s done great with them all.

Sidney did a great job with her drop-in visit. We came home to a happy, content dog and it was comforting to get photos midday and know he was getting a break from his kennel. We would hire her again!

100% booking with Kaylee again. We did a meet and greet prior to our trip which helped us feel at ease with who we were leaving our dogs with. Kaylee is such a sweet soul and based on her reports she sent to us, the dogs seemed to love their time with her!! I appreciate her checking in at the house multiple times throughout the day to meet our dogs needs as one of them is anxious and the other just needs a ton of exercise. Thank you Kaylee!

Jessica worked for me when I had a boarding business in Iowa. She was fantastic with the dogs, keep a clean space, and was always on time. She moved and I lost a great asset. I hope you find the greatness I did with your pet(s)!

Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!

Grace is a wonderful pet sitter! She has helped me dog sit before for a few clients and decided to set up rover. I’d trust her with any of my pets and she is dedicated to her job and great with communication. She also pet sat my hedgehog which she did a great job with so she has experience with exotic animals as well. She communicates and sends me pics when I ask for them as well! Would 100% recommend. :)

We needed a drop-in visit for a single day with only a couple days notice. Brad agreed to do it. He met with us and our dogs prior to the day of the visit and took detailed notes and got to know the boys. He sent us photos and a detailed report of the visit. We were very impressed and plan to use Brad again in the future if he's available.

Michelle was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She gave the best check ins everyday and took lots of pics of my little girl! She left great notes about her and my very skittish dog warmed up to her so quickly. Thank you so much!
