Cheryl was AWESOME!! She played with our dog and two cats and sent frequent pictures. She took great care of the home and I was so glad to have somebody responsible staying there. HIGHLY recommended! We usually don't go away with our entire extended family (no pet care available) but if we ever do again, I will definitely call upon Cheryl!

There should be 6 stars for Chase's eval. he's that cool, that good. Really. We had him over way prior to his service to meet our dog Teaser. Treats in had made an instant friendship. Then, a few days prior to our trip we had Chase over for a walk with Teaser and dinner. All went well and Teaser loves this guy. Burgers were a bit over done but that's on me. They were still pretty good. After we departed on our trip he came over and had a great time with Teaser, sent photos often and it was just great. He's become a friend and Teaser loves him ... which is kinda the whole point.

Christopher is an animal lover. He took care of our beloved Skipper for many years until he passed. Skipper was a rescue and had difficulties acclimating with males due to his previous past. With Chris however, he always felt right at home, followed him everywhere and trusted him wholeheartedly. Thank you Chris for all you did for Skipper. He will never forget how you made him feel 🐶🩵

Crispin was very sweet and thorough. She took thorough notes and made sure she understood what my pup needed. He was smiling in all the pictures she sent. Crispin stayed at our house and left it just the way we left it. She offered to wash the sheets and left a sweet card.

Peyton took care of my pup Waffle for a week - the first time I'd been away from him since I adopted him, so I was a bit nervous about how he'd hold up while I was gone. She took great care of him and kept me updated on his exploits, and she coordinated with some other local friends to arrange play dates between Waffle and his best buds in my absence. Thanks Peyton for keeping him safe and happy!

Ann was fantastic! She did an excellent job watching my dog Wally. She communicated extremely well, sent frequent picture updates, took Wally to the beach/park and kept my house clean. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter. Also, I could tell Wally had a great time while I was away!

Auri is amazing! We have two cats (one shy and one outgoing) and she did a great job vibing their personalities and making sure they were both comfortable. She was very communicative and sent detailed updates with pictures and videos. She stayed at our house and we came back to everything being totally clean- she even left money for a movie she had rented on Amazon which was totally unnecessary but very considerate. I would highly recommend her.

When it comes to taking care of dogs, Ashley is amazing! Her huge heart really shines through when taking care of them, and I've seen first hand how she prioritizes the needs of the dogs, and if not her own pet, the desires of their owners as well. I know she's gone through a couple very difficult passings of family dogs in her life, but she has channeled that love toward the pets she is able to care for now. I know this as I have seen how she cares for other people's dogs like they were her own and am amazed to see how the dogs trust her so quickly! She is responsible with feeding, walking, and cleaning after them. Additionally, she is timely to respond when you need to contact her and is genuinely friendly! She's a friend to dogs you can trust.

I will be using Grace again! My dog is shy and tends to be depressed when I leave, as he’s a major Velcro boi. Grace was respectful of his space and had a good handle on his insecurities. She only stayed with him for 24 hrs but was on top of communication and his activities. Can’t wait for them to build their bond!

Daniel was great watching my two Dalmatians for four nights. Our two dogs can be a handful because they have big personalities and our male can be quite stand offish to start. Daniel was not deterred and took it slow to gain their trust and affection. He took them for walks every day too.
