Merrell was pleasant, positive and great with updates. Our scoutie wasn’t super friendly but Merrell kept trying and that’s all we could’ve asked for!!!

Becky took excellent care of my boys while I was out of town for several days. She communicated all concerns and let me know how they were doing each visit. She provided lots of photos and made me feel better about being away from my pups.

I can’t say enough great things about Brie! If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. We will absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants their pets treated like family!

Excellent! Justine spent a lot of time with my cat Milo. I could tell that he really liked her and was happy. It made me feel thankful to know that Justine helped my kitty have a better day, as I knew he was lonely. I really appreciated seeing the pictures of my pet while I was away, as well.

Wow!!! I really think she did a great job. We have a super shy cat and she tried very hard to interact with him. I would book her again. She is very kind good with animals and communicated great.

As usual, Jessica was awesome taking care of my 3 chihuahuas. I like using Jessica not only because she does a great job of taking care of Pablo, Izzy, and Mooch, but also the continuity and familiarity the dogs have when she comes over. She always communicates with me with pictures and texts. One of my older dogs needs several medications and she is always accurate when giving Pablo his medications. Thanks, Jessica for taking such good care of my babies! Stefny Craft

Teresa was FANTASTIC!!! She has such a warm heart and my fur babies instantly fell in love with her. She was flexible for our schedule and provided updates and pictures while we were gone, it made an emergency trip less stressful for us knowing she was dropping in daily to play and spend time. We will reach out again if ever in need of her services, I highly recommend Teresa she is reliable and truly loves animals

Hadley is the best. She pampers my cat better than I do! This is my second time hiring Hadley, for a total of 12 visits. Each time Hadley has been 100% on point: she is on time, knowledgeable, caring, takes adorable pics of my cat, and gives concise updates. I will definitely call upon Hadley again!

Kristin did a fantastic job taking care of my dogs while I was traveling for work. I was a little nervous at first since they’re both large and can be strong on the leash, but she handled them great and even helped my lab improve his leash walking. I had total peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!

Heather has been a blessing from above. We have been fortunate to have the same pet sitter for our Penny for years but excitingly she left to further her college degree up North. Picking a new sitter to take care of your family member and be in your home personal areas can be hard. Heather is at most an uplifting character and has the best personality, our Penny loved and warmed up to her instantly during their meet and greet. Heather sent detailed updates with pictures, she was extremely prompt on all four of the drop-ins daily, and took Penny on extra nice walks in our neighbor when the weather was nice for the day to get her outside more for some more vitamin D and exercise. We have stray neighborhood cats on our front porch that I have fed for the last six years while here and she even took it upon herself to feed them while we were away, She clearly loves all animals with all of her heart. We truly appreciate her and we already have our next out of town week booked for May and hope she is available. Thank you again for everything. Caroline, Robert & Penny

This was our first time with Hadley for my cat Mavu. I was apprehensive as Mavu needed eye drops and she had not let anyone administer those other than me. But Hadley was patient and determined to help Mavu with those drops while I was away for family emergency. Hadley has been gentle, persistent and very loving with Mavu. She got the drops in Mavu lovingly and is now Mavu’s best friend, Mavu keeps waiting for her visits and misses her after she leaves. Hadley is ethical , trustworthy and reliable. We got blessed to have found her and highly recommend her to any pet parent who loves their pet and wants gentle care for their pets. Madhuri

Sydney was so great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat for an extended period of time, and Sydney always sent photos with each visit and let us know how our cat was doing. Sydney was also super flexible with us too. If we ever needed a cat sitter again, I would want to book Sydney again!
