“Christine is a great dog sitter! Fiona had a great time, her photo was hilarious (upside down on the couch), and Fiona really enjoyed taking a walk as part of her visit.”
“Came home to happy pups, not frantic or nervous. Brent obviously followed my instruction/requests to the letter. Note that one of my dogs was only 3 mos. old and needed specific on time breaks and play. Would feel absolutely confident having Brent back again!”
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
“My poor pup has stress colitis when I work out of town, Mel handled my poopy boy great. Attention to detail and communication was excellent. And she handles my geriatric limited mobile Labrador well. I hope to use her regularly.”
“Katherine was great! One of my pups has reactivity issues and it’s always making me nervous leaving him with someone else but Katie quickly showed that my concern was not necessary at all. 10/10 would recommend”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”
“Jenny was wonderful, came through in a big way on short notice when we had an unexpected scheduling change. Our girls were very happy and the house was in great shape. Great communication throughout.”
“Laura took such great care of our cat when we were away for a week! The photos and updates provided peace of mind so that we could enjoy our trip without worry. We will definitely be asking Laura to care for our kitty when we go out of town in the future!”
“Victoria is so incredibly attentive, sweet, and loving with my Baby. She goes infinitely above and beyond just taking care of him. I’d count myself lucky to rebook her every time!!!”

“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of.
