1. Samantha H.
“Samantha was wonderful. I have five cats that needed to be looked after and one of them required special attention due to allergies. She made sure to check on each of them, ensuring their litter boxes were clean, medicines were given in the proper dosages, and everyone was happy and healthy. She also sent pictures of them for each visit. Would recommend!”
2. Sarah P.
“Mrs. Sarah was so wonderful, understanding and went absolutely above and beyond helping us watch out kitties 🐈⬛. They’re really special to us and I’m sure I wouldn’t put so much trust in anyone else. I really appreciate her help and I highly recommend to anyone for your pets needs.”
3. Monica N.
“This is the second time I’ve used Monica and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s very engaging and playful with my cat, B. She takes care of her food, water and litter box, and has even brought her toys to play with. She brings in any packages that may arrive in my absence. I come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I will use her every time I’m gone. Thank you, Monica. You’re a blessing to me and B.”

5. Anthony M.
“Anthony deserves Infinity stars. He is hands down the BEST!!! Do yourself and your pet a favor and hire him. Where do I start with this gem of a person....no words seem adequate enough...so I will try and know that he is a million times and over what I write. Anthony was so through. He went above and beyond what I needed from him. He spent a lot of time with my pup and definitely showed him so much love. I enjoyed reading all the updates he had for Zane and all the pictures. Anthony was also very accommodating. Any request I had that was not previously requested He was happy to accomodate me. It was easy for me to leave my dog with Anthony because I knew he would take amazing care of him. He will always be the 1st person I reach out to if I ever need someone for my dog. Even my dog loves him soooo much. Thank you Anthony. You really are the BEST. I don't say it to be saying it.. I say it bc I mean it. Thank you very much. Zane thanks you too.”
