Kayla L.
“I would absolutely recommend Kayla as a dog caregiver. Kayla is the most caring, loving, empathetic person I know! She is kind and always happy and much fun to be around. I would recommend her to take care of any pet I have without hesitation. I know she will show up with the energy needed without a doubt. A pet would not get luckier than to have Kayla take care of them. I would have to say, she loves pets like they were her children .”
Marissa K.

Haley W.
“Haley watched my black lab and my Yorkie for the 2 weeks I was out of town for work and it was amazing. She sent me a ton of pictures and videos since I was a little nervous leaving them for so long. She took them on walks to local trails and gave some flea meds to my puppy. She is so sweet and gentle with the animals that I always go to her when I leave town. She's a fast replyer which I loved when I was away and is always on time.”
Michelle H.
“Michelle was easy to reach and responded quickky. She communicated with us on if she was going to need to adjust her time she did her check in.”
Angela G.
“Angela is wonderful! We have two German Shepherds and two cats. Angela has been a great help when we need to leave our babies under someone else's care. Angela takes time to play with them and makes them feel as though they are special and it makes them miss us just a little less. The dogs really look forward to when Angela takes care of them.”
Madison H.
“Madison has house sat and watched our three Rottweilers on multiple occasions. We’ve had trouble keeping good pet sitters since our pups are very active, but Madison has been the best sitter we’ve had! Our dogs absolutely adore her. She has shown communication skills by sending us updates on our pups when we’re out of town, follows schedules for feeding and walking promptly, and is overall a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to watch your pets!”

“My cat seemed very happy when she returned from her stay with Maddie. Definitely will be booking again”
