Once again Amanda knocked it out the park! Our baby was super anxious when we left and I was so worried about her. Amanda came through like a rock star even offering different things she could do to try and help alleviate some of Jewel's stress. She kept me updated throughout the entire weekend and was so awesome with her communication. We are so blessed we found her!

Damacia did a wonderful job checking in on my dog, and on short notice. They arrived promptly and did everything that we asked. Based on the photos we received, our dog had a great time with Damacia, especially for meeting for the first time.

Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!

Arin is fantastic! We had such peace of mind knowing they were dropping in to check on our sick pup while we were both at work, and all of our dogs (even our shy hound) loved them during the meet and greet. They sent multiple photos during the drop in visit and also were so patient and compassionate working with our feral rescue girl. We don’t have an easy pack, but Arin was great with all of them.

I was nothing but impressed with Cindy watching my dog. Mr Skootkes does not like people outside my family so I was nervous about how this would go. 8 hours later when I went to pick him up he acted like he wanted to stat with her hahaha! A+++

Good evening. I am writing on behalf of Alexis Martin. This young lady is a former student of mine who continues to impress me as she has now graduated from high school and working towards a beautiful future for herself. She is a kind, caring young lady who did a beautiful job caring for my dog and cat for over a week this past holiday season while I was visiting family in London. Alexis sent me updates, pictures, and kind words about my babies while I was on vacation. I would like to add that my cat lost an arm as a kitten and is not typically kind to strangers in the home. This did not keep Alexis from loving both of my animals and strategizing ways to make my cat "Chase" feel safe and loved.

Mariah is an absolute angel. Sweet, kind, super responsive, so easy to work with. She took immaculate care of my sweet old Bo and handled his age-related issues with grace. She even left a thank you gift - treats and toys for my Bo! It was absolutely unexpected and so endearing. I should be thanking her, and I will. Thank you, Mariah!
