“This was our first night away after moving across country, we were nervous. But the cats were perfectly content when we returned home and Savannah was a tidy house guest as well. We are so glad we found her!”
2. Erica M.
“Erica took such amazing care of our dog! He can be very scared and timid at first but she was patient with him and he warmed up so quickly to her! She sent us updates all throughout our vacation and we felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely use Erica for other trips and vacations!”
3. Terry C.
“Terry was absolutely Amazing!! She took great care of our 2 fur babies, sending photos and videos daily to update us on how they were doing while we were away. I was very anxious to leave our 2 cats with someone new, as our previous pet/house sitter is no longer in the business and we had not used someone new in many years, I have put off traveling due to this, much to my husband's dismay. I can say I was so relieved while away to see how great Terry was with our pets. I also think when we got home our house was cleaner than when we left! Terry did a fabulous job, she went above and beyond and now I'm ready to travel more feeling comfortable that we have found our new pet caretaker! I cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Veronika was fantastic during our vacation. She sent us photos and provided updates on how the dogs were doing. The house was well taken care of during her stay and she even cleaned her sheets and the room she stayed in. She left toys and treats for the dogs. It was the sweetest thing! Thank you Veronika! We will definitely ask you to take care of our dogs again!”
