Monica was amazing! She visited and cared for our dog while we were in town for a race. She is very professional and loving and we couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our big baby boy! ♥️

Chelsie was so so great to work with! She was so kind, communicative, and timely with visits. My golden retriever Kaya adored her and I felt so at peace leaving Kaya in such great hands. Chelsie sent detailed updates and lots of pictures during both drop ins and I will definitely be re-booking with her in the future as well as recommending her to friends and family!

Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

Andrea happened to be available on such short notice when I had a family emergency and couldn’t even meet ahead of time. She was so accommodating and sweet (not to mention my dog loved her). I’m endlessly grateful. Do not hesitate to book her to take care of your fur baby.

We needed a drop-in visit for a single day with only a couple days notice. Brad agreed to do it. He met with us and our dogs prior to the day of the visit and took detailed notes and got to know the boys. He sent us photos and a detailed report of the visit. We were very impressed and plan to use Brad again in the future if he's available.

Kassy did a great job with my Labrador. My furry friend has a fenced yard and is rarely on a leash. Kassy took the time to get her used to her harness before walking her.
