1. Cynthia L.
“Cynthia is wonderful and took such good care of our special needs cat while we were gone for a few days. Our kitty needs 2 medications multiple times a day and Cynthia was reliably on time, with great notes from every visit. It's obvious how much she cares about animals and takes her responsibility seriously. Leaving our little guy is always hard but we feel so much better knowing that Cynthia is here to take care of him. We will always have Cynthia be our pet sitter in the future, as long as she's willing! Thank you Cynthia!”

“Stephanie did an excellent job with my two cats, Charlie and Punkin. She gave Punkin her meds every day, and I got a great photo and update on the cats each day we were away! Stephanie has a bright, friendly personality - my cats seemed to really like her. She was meticulous in making sure they got fed, watered, and petted. I am so grateful to have had Stephanie to sit for me during my trip away from home! *Highly recommend*”

8. JANINE N.
“Janine has cared for my 2 golden retrievers several times. They have tons of energy and tend it be a bit naughty at times. I can not say enough wonderful things about the attention, care, exercise, and love they receive from her. It says a lot when you go to pick them up and they are glued to her side. So glad I found someone so loving and trustworthy!”

10. Marilyn P.
“Marilyn has dog sat for our large pitbull several times. She is a responsible sitter who gives our dog a ton of attention and outdoor time. I appreciate the updates that she sends while we are away, and she always leaves our home cleaner than she found it. Our dog can be stubborn, but she has a ton of patience with him. She has also administered his medicine when needed. Five stars.”
11. Karen H.
“Karen checked in on & fed my 2 cats beguile we were away for a weekend vacation.

It’s nice to find someone reliable & trustworthy to help out when your away.”

“My husband and I, on multiple occasions, have trusted Kristina with the care of our two beagle boys while we have been away on trips. She has been kind, caring, and a diligent caretaker and we will use her in the future as well. The love she has for animals goes above and beyond as I know she fostered animals for years (even a few that only had a short time to live OR were bringing life into this word) Highly recommend!”
