Our dogs can be nervous around new people and seeing how happy and relaxed they were when Maia came by for drop-in visits was such a joy! Getting photo updates and communication from Maia put our minds at ease, we are grateful to know they are in good hands with her and will be booking again.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with Kye watching my sweet, elderly pup Lulu. Kye has a gentle, warm demeanor with animals and people alike, and Lulu (who is normally quite shy and skittish) quickly grew to love spending time with him. He is communicative and responsive, has no problem handling Lulu's intense medication schedule (including administering topical eye medications three times a day), sends me cute pictures of my pup throughout, and always leaves my house even cleaner than when I left it. I highly recommend Kye to watch your pets, they will be in great hands.

Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!

Asef rented a room from us for about 3 months as a co-op for my company and I think he is a wonderful young man. We had two dogs and a cat at the time he stayed with us (sadly Zy has since past due to old age) but he did wonderfully with all of them. He never made my two semi-skittish pups feel nervous or out of place and was a great help when my husband and I needed to go out of town. We felt 100% comfortable with him in our house and caring for our fur babies. Considering I have had him stay extensively I am positive he will be great with your pets as well.

October of 2023 I asked Adrianne Bright if she could look after my 3 yr old pitbull Blondie and my senior special needs cat Max. Blondie bonded immediately with Adrianne. Dogs know good people. It was short notice due to me not finding someone I felt I could trust. I was going to be gone for two weeks. Adrianne took Blondie on walks daily and spent time with her also in her apartment. Adrianne sent me updates, videos and pictures of them having fun and going on hikes. Adrianne also took care of Max Cat. She gave Max his daily insulin shots, cat box maintenance and feeding. I was able to be away two weeks and not worry because my animals were in good care with Adrianne.

Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)

Sheelah and Cayman are the best! They watch our dogs and chickens any time we travel, and we always have such peace of mind knowing they get so much exercise, attention, and care. They take the pups for long walks, play with them, and have given medication when needed. They even send us hilarious video montages of the pups set to music. They’re true animal lovers and great communicators. Highly recommend them.

Amiri did a great job with our pup over the holidays. He walked her with all of his check ins and sent regular photos and messages. He also made sure she didn't track in mud in the house when it was raining so much there winter days. Would happily book him again..
