“Casie bonded quickly with my fur baby. She normally takes some days to warm up to new people. I appreciated the regular, clear communication and photos. Casie also offered to pick up additional food for my pet when she ran out of one of her favorites. I was concerned about leaving her but it was clear Casie was taking time to play with her and connect. She seemed much more normal when I returned home this time than on most trips; kitty can be distant for awhile before letting me pet her.”
“Madison was fantastic with my high energy cat! Followed all the instructions and was very respectful of the house. Would absolutely recommend and will look to use her again in the future.”

“Chelsea is a neighbor of mine and has walked my 3 year old golden retriever often. She is great with taking him out, paying attention to his energy levels, maintaining my training systems (sit before crossing, no on leash greetings) and always brings him back happy and tired. She is great with dogs and very active so dog walking is a great role for her.”

Madison was reliable and great with my cat. He doesn’t warm up to many people, and he did to Madison. I felt confident that he was happy and in good hands, plus I regularly received pictures of him eating, playing, or getting petted. I would highly recommend Madison.
Angela was incredibly thorough in her updates and was attentive in my pet's care. She was also flexible in scheduling and willing to assist with pet care with not much advance notice. I would definitely recommend Angela and am planning to use her services again.
Brayden communicated with us well and respected our property. The kitties were fans, too -- he spent much longer with them than required to empty the litterbox and refresh their food/water. We were also super grateful that he was available on very short notice.
I cannot thank Olivia enough! She is truly a Godsend! I reached out last minute, halfway in a panic and halfway in a prayer, and she showed up cool as a cucumber with that sweet, calming spirit like, “Don’t worry, I got it.” She had never met me or my precious Mittens before (and Mittens is particular, okay?), but you would’ve thought they grew up together! I was so flustered I even forgot to send instructions…no notes, no schedule, not even a “Mittens likes her treats warmed up” but Olivia didn’t miss a beat! She cared for my baby girl like she was her own…with patience, kindness, and that quiet “I’ve-got-this” grace that only the Lord can give. Honestly, I believe she might have prayed over Mittens when I wasn’t looking. lol That’s the kind of care she gave. I had total peace while I was away…and y’all, that’s rare! If you’re looking for someone who won’t just pet-sit but will intercede and babysit your fur baby like family, Olivia is the one! She’s truly walking in her calling! 💛🐾🙏🏽
Sitter was great. Used them for some time and you can really tell when you get home and your pet isn’t bouncing off the walls. She even came a day early when we had a friend that couldn’t stop by. Booked her on short notice and lots of photos which my kids loved. Thank you.
Punctuality: Valen was always on time for her visits. She was very gentle and attentive to my cat. She made sure he was comfortable and relaxed during her visits. I felt confident knowing that my cat was in good hands and well-cared for. Definitely will recommend.
