Luis recently watched our two dogs over a long weekend trip and we couldn't ask for a better caretaker for our pups and house! He was very friendly, communicative, and responsive with lots of great pics and updates throughout his stay. He took impeccable care of our house and our dogs were happy and healthy when we came home! We will definitely book Luis again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for pet care in our area :)

Maria stayed in our home with our dog for 9 days and we and our dog absolutely love her. He is a senior with special needs including needing 6 medications per day (liquid, tablet, and capsule). She sent us frequent updates and photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy pup. We already booked her again for our next trip. She genuinely loves the dogs in her care like her own and we are so glad to have found her!

Maureen took care of our cat Coco for a few days and she was absolutely amazing!! Communication was great since the beginning, she sent us lots of photos and videos and she was constantly keeping us updated about our little one and his trips to the garden! She combed and brushed Coco and was able to gain his trust, that made us very happy and relaxed during our holiday. Maureen also watered our plants (we hadn't asked for it) and left us a sweet note and little gift. The house was spotless and probably cleaner than before!! We couldn’t recommend her enough. A huge thanks to Maureen and hope to see her again soon!

Angelica was fantastic! She watched our dog, Kuma, for a week in our house. She took Kuma on so many adventures and sent lots of pictures. Kuma gets pretty anxious when we leave her, but we came home to a happy girl! I would 100% recommend Angelica, and we certainly plan to use her in the future!

Deborah is not only the best walker/pet sitter but also the most loving person with your dogs. I’m a helicopter Mom and when she walked in she immediately got on the floor to meet my fur baby and give him love. He had no problem following her out the door for walks and loved seeing her. She is so flexible and will go out of her way to accommodate you. Look no further book her now, you won’t regret it.

Brooklyn was great, she kept us updated everyday with notes and photos of our dogs. Even our old, grumpy dog liked her and we had no problems while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again for pet sitting.

Miss Frazier is an outstanding sitter. She took excellent care of my two dogs while also assisting me during my move. Every morning, she arrived promptly, ready to take them for walks and to the park for playtime. Her playful and empathetic nature shines through in her care for animals, and it's clear she has experience from caring for her own. I highly recommend her as a trusted and reliable sitter.

Alexis stayed with our two dogs and 10 week old kitten for the weekend while we went away. Our dogs were both strays before we adopted them so they’ve both got quirks. We had only had the kitten for 3 weeks so we were still getting the dogs used to her. It was a bit nerve wracking leaving the crew with a sitter, but Alexis handled them wonderfully. The day we left, one of the dogs was resource guarding his chicken and Alexis calmly gave a calm but firm no and removed the chicken. She was patient and kind but set perfect boundaries and I knew I had picked the right one 🥰 She had great communication and sent tons of pictures. House was clean and well-cared for when we got home. I’m grateful to have someone available who can handle our pack. Will definitely utilize her help again for walks and sitting ❤️

I’ve known V for years and they are a wonderful person with a great love for animals. They have always taken excellent care of my fur babies and I’ve never had any issues. I once had a last minute schedule change and V was very accommodating! I have full confidence that my pups have a great time while staying safe in V’s care.

Calynne was amazing! She gave us a ton of updates while we were gone on our 7 day trip. We got detailed reports after each of her visits, how our dog was doing and if she had gone to the bathroom, eaten, etc. Our dog is a sweet gentle girl and Calynne really took time to give her all the pets and cuddles she needed. Will definitely book again!

We had Z take care of our two little pooches, Ginger and Mia. When we came home, we had a discussion with them and they said they absolutely adored her! In fact, Mia, my youngest, said that she was about as cute as she was😂. Seriously, we call her Z, and she was very good with my puppies. We have outside cameras and we saw her taking care of the pups and they looked good and nothing was out of place and I only have good things to say. It’s very hard to leave your pups in the hands of someone that you only have as a referral, but she came through. And we were very happy that she was here. She left our house in immaculate condition and I would use her again. Very trustworthy and reliable if I had to describe her. Good natured person as well.

He's great! My dog would perk up every time he came over and sprint straight for Michael, ready to go on a walk. My dalmatian is nervous around new people, but after a couple of meetings she accepted him as a part of the family! Whenever I left on business trips, I would always return to see my girl was happy, all thanks to Michael.
