“Rachel did great with my boy Dior this week! She made sure that he was well fed, clean, loved, and taken care of. She also did great with helping him stay on top of his training commands that he’s learned and is constantly improving on. I really appreciate her, and I will definitely be rebooking to make sure my boy stays heading in the right direction as he grows!”

Kethely was great with my shy cat and was able to earn her trust and make her feel comfortable while I was away! She sent photos/videos with every visit and was prompt with answering when I contacted her throughout the day. I look forward to booking with her again in the future!!!

Paula was responsive and responsible during the booking and meeting process. I have a 12 week old poodle. He has lots of unbridled puppy energy. he is really just learning how to walk on a leash.. Paula was very patient getting the leash and harness on him as well as walking him. I do appreciate that. I would recommend Paula and I would use her for future walks once my dog matures thank you.👍🏽🙌🏽🙏
Hazel is incredibly reliable. Every year our walker goes on vacation for a month. For the past three years we’ve been able to rely on Hazel to step in & take care of our furbaby, who can be super anxious. Hazel is attentive, communicative, patient kind and gentle with our Mona & we are so grateful.

Ashley did stop in visits and walks several times a day for 5 days while I was away and I felt so at ease knowing she was going to be taking care of my furr babies. She is so patient, loving and affectionate with them they love her presence. I am so happy I have found such an amazing sitter who I can count on. I would recommend her if you are looking for a sitter!
