“Olivia was great! She watched my 1.5 year old lab, Sophie, at my house overnight and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her in Olivia’s hands. We did a meet & great beforehand so everyone felt comfortable and Olivia even brought a notebook for some notes on how to care for Sophs while I was away! I loved all the picture updates while I was gone - it was much appreciated! When I got home from my trip, it was like Sophie hadn’t missed a beat.. which just goes to show that Olivia took great care of her. Will absolutely reach out to Olivia again the next time Sophie needs a sitter. Highly recommend her to care for anyone’s pups!!”


“I can only begin to describe how grateful I am for Stephanie house sitting with my two schnauzers. Both dogs absolutely loved her and got lots more walks than they get from me. Willow still goes into the bedroom where Stephanie slept and finds comfort snuggling into the pillow. Stephanie was prompt and kept me posted about how things were going. She was respectful of the house, and everything was spotless when I returned home. Willow has a number of health issues and Stephanie dealt with them well - everything from administering meds to watch and judge a little blip in Willow's health. Because she has a car, she was able to get Willow to my vet if it had been necessary. I would recommend Stephanie for anyone needing a house sitter or someone to com into their home to care for pets.”


“Lynn was absolutely amazing to my boy while I was away. She was very attentive to him and took pictures of him and sent to me to keep me updated. Will absolutely hire her again. 5 stars!”

“Karlyn is the answer to our prayers! Seriously! We have a giant breed, a large breed and a stubborn English bulldog who is thinks he’s in charge. Karlyn clearly loves each one of them and it shows in the videos and pics she sends. Having peace of mind leaving our furry family behind is no longer a stressor for my family. Thank you Karlyn!!”
