Melissa was so lovely, understanding, and attentive to my cat, Blake's, needs. During each visit, she tok the time to play with him and take pictures to send them to me. Her reports were very thorough and Blake really seemed to have a pleasant time with her. She even left a little note welcoming us home when we got back (: We will definitely be keeping her in mind for the next time Blake needs a sitter!

I cannot praise Lily enough for the wonderful care she provided for our pets Maggie, Molly, and Tilly while my wife and I were out of state. Despite Maggie’s challenges with house training due to her age, Lily was incredibly patient and understanding. She went above and beyond in her duties, ensuring our pets were comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent throughout the weekend, making us feel reassured that our beloved animals were in the best hands. Thank you, Lily, for your dedication and kindness. Highly recommended!

If you only want the best for your pet, Ami is it. Everything from start to finish with her has been nothing short of outstanding. She is reliable, compassionate, and her energy is so calming. My dog Luna had just been diagnosed with kidney disease, and I was overwhelmed. Ami came over to administer subQ fluids, which have been a struggle for me to do on my own because it was so stressful for my dog. Ami taught me things the vet never mentioned, so that the experience was less stressful for Luna, such as warming the bag of fluids, the position to hold my dog in and how to distract her with treats. She even recommended needles that are thinner, and I was amazed my dog didn’t even react when she poked her! She is also working with me on a specialty diet specifically for CKD which is already helping with her nausea and appetite. I am so relieved to have found Ami - she is an invaluable resource, and true animal whisperer. And our kitties approve too, they absolutely love her! Thanks again Ami!!!

Wendi was on time for our meet and greet and was very professional. We had a hiccup during our time away with our refrigerator in the garage "tripping up" our automatic garage door opener. Wendi alerted us right away about the issue and with our coaching was able to resolve the issue with success. She was very punctual with visits and supplying Rover cards. She took Holly on lengthy, enjoyable walks and made sure Holly was well cared for in our absence. Highly recommend Wendi. We'll definitely be requesting her services for Holly again in the near future.

Debbie clearly has the knack for reading dog behavior! Our three canines had a difficult week with lots of changes to their routines, and were pretty wound up. Debbie spent focused time with each of them, and by the time she left they were considerably calmer. We would welcome her back for anything from drop-in visits to overnights and long stays. Thank you, Debbie!

Laurie was excellent! She was very sensitive to my cat since it was the first time she watched Ava. Laurie was respectful of Ava’s boundaries and made it easier for Ava to warm up to her. I will most definitely hire Laurie again.

My experience with Lex is she has a passion for all animals small and large (horses and cows). She has volunteered at a shelter and sanctuary since middle school and has her own pets at home. I have a german shepherd, cat and parrot that she's been caring for two years. When she is caring for my pets I feel like they are being cared for as if I was home. My pets are always excited when Lex comes in. I refer to her as a true animal whisper and highly recommend.

I known Jessica as a co-worker but one weekend I had to go out of town, I owe two small dogs and a leopard gecko, Jessica volunteer to help me out for free, I thought this was very nice and scheduled a date to introduce my pets and how to take care of then as one of my dogs is older and has specific dietary needs. Jess was so kind to cook his rice and turkey though all the weekend, and hand feed my gecko taking my dogs for long walks and plenty of attention. I felt that with the amount of time and care she taken care of my dogs she deserves to be compensated. That's to say she's an amazing care pet taker, honest, loves animals and takes care of every detail.
