“We haven't used a pet service before, so my expectations were mixed. Other people who accepted the job canceled at the last minute, and I reached out to Mandy. She was kind, professional and my animals took to her quickly. We have an elderly dog who got himself in a jam going down into our basement without the ability to get back up. Mandy CARRIED him--a 55lb save of potatoes--up the stairs! When I say I would recommend her to everyone, I mean it. She was a lovely person and even left treats for the pups AND the humans. 15/10 so many 🌟”

You H.
“I am proud to share why I believe my nephew, Marco, would make an excellent pet caretaker. He has shown a deep love and compassion for animals from a young age. Whether feeding the cats, helping clean up after pets, or making sure they feel safe and loved, Marco has always been patient, gentle, and responsible. He understands that taking care of a pet is more than just playtime; it involves daily commitment, feeding schedules, grooming, exercise, and regular check ups. He’s proven time and again that he’s up to the task. His maturity, reliability, and kind heart make him someone any pet would be lucky to have. I have full confidence that marco will take excellent care of any pet entrusted to him.”
Carol S.
“Carol did an amazing job taking care of my Petie. She was punctual, reliable, and showed incredible love and compassion, treating Pete like her own. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring all of Pete's needs were met. Carol kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which provided great peace of mind. I highly recommend Carol to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. Thank you, Carol, for everything!”
Madison G.
“Maddie is one of the most animal-friendly people I know. She has two dogs of her own, Moose and Stella, and they are both spoiled to pieces. Moose has a bubbly outgoing personality, so Maddie has plenty of experience with hyper dogs. On the other hand, Stella is timid and sweet, so Maddie has experience with quieter dogs as well. She's also great with cats -actually all animals seem to love her! My own Bindi Boodle goes crazy when Maddie comes over, knowing she's going to get the best butt scratches this side of anywhere. I don't trust just anyone to watch my dog, but Maddie's experience, attitude, and loving nature make her the perfect dog sitter for any need!”
